need help increasing my mana cost

I need to increase my mana cost by exactly 6-10 (~15-20%) to proc inspiration without having to drop an aura to sustain. I can't reach the mana cost nodes by scion and a fevered mind jewel takes too many points.

any ideas?

What gem setup are you running?

What about different gem setup with more mana multiplier?

Legacy Fevered Mind? (50-100% increased)

Spending life instead of mana? (Arrogance Support,..)

swapping gems doesn't help, i'd lose more damage than i gain with insp

legacy fevered overshoots by too much even at 50%, i'd have to take an additional 4 point jewel to run replica conquerors. 4 points and 2 jewels probably looses more damage than it gains, might would work if i was 100.

you have to spend mana to get insp charges, swapping to life or ES cost doesn't let you gain them.

Could anoint the increased mana cost node.

Im a bit confused though. Inspiration charges are gained every time you spend mana. You dont have to spend a certain amount. Am I missing something?

yea, idk why you want to increase the cost of your skill just for inspiration.

bottom left red gem:

gain an inspiration charge after you spend mana for supported skills
lose all inspiration charges after spending X mana on supported skills.

increasing the cost of a skill just makes you hit X sooner, and have to start gaining charges again.

I am at 0 mana cost currently so i cant gain the charges, i have to get that to at least 1 mana cost to actually use inspiration, but any more than 7 mana cost and i can't full DPS on bosses so i have to drop my level 1 vitality (for watchers eye leach).

have a better annoint already, Im at 0 mana cost, i need to get it above 1, but i'm running out of mana at ~7-8 on bosses. minmax issues for very high budget.

I'll bite, which character are you referring to?

you can always reduce the levels of inspiration some, see if you can get the cost to 1 that way, not every level(or even other) modifies its damage.

also if you are at 0 mana cost means your investing some into -mana cost, you can always use a lower roll(if using ring form), if using a warlord -mana chest consider swapping to something else and using a ring craft.

also if you use an inspiration on a different skill that has at least 1 mana cost you can generate inspiration charges for your 0 cost skill to benefit from.
