Mana Problems, Renegeration Nodes the solution?

Hello everyone! I am a physical frenzy + ROA ranger build that have recently acquire a really strong bow that increased my attack speed from 4.2 arrows per seconds to 6.7 arrow per seconds (Had a 1.50 aps, now with a 1.77 aps).

Before the upgrade, I didn't had any trouble recharging my mana, but now I run out after only a few seconds of shooting. I do have enough Mana Leech (4% total on two rings) since I am doing physical damage. However, the mana doesn't regen fast enough (I know this because my mana always goes back to full when I finish a monster).

I am shooting 6.7 arrow at 45 mana per shot with a mana pool of only 320 mana (because of auras I use).

The question is, would the 20% mana regeneration nodes increase the regen rate of my mana leech?
Is 60% increased renegeration rate from passive, 60% (so 100 Mps = 160 Mps) or a cumulative upgrade? (EX: 100 Mana per second + 20% = 120 + 20% = 144 + 20% = 172.8)

Or do you guys have a better idea on how I should handle the mana problem?

Regeneration on items or on the tree do not increase the regeneration rate of mana leech. The regeneration rate of mana leech is only based on a % of the total mana you have. Regeneration nodes only help your mana regen per second which is 105% of your total mana pool per minute. Regeneration nodes/gear also affect the bonus regen you get from clarity. I have 3.4k mana, 140% regen in nodes from tree and 100% regen in gear, and using clarity I hit 290 mana regen per second.

went for those reduce cost nodes,lower left

Mana leech ratio is capped by your Mana, 12.5% of it to be exact. So even if you have 1000 total mana, all of your mana leech can't get you over 125 mana per second. 45 mana per shot with 7 APS is 315 mana per second, way under what you can realistically get without Eldritch Battery and mana pots.

Extremely mana intensive builds either resort to Eldritch Battery or Blood Magic.

Thanks for all the answers guys :)


So, I am stuck with a problem :S

Is it possible to get 3 red, 1 blue, 2 green on a dex based item?

I could try to get Blood Magic support in my bow. Or any other suggestion to fix the issue?

Thanks,

Yes, it's possible with enough chromatics.

I use Quill rain and my arrow costs about 75 mana. With available mana of 1.6k after 3 auras I can easily shoot crap load of arrows. Only node I got is templar +40 regen. I run clarity at level 18 I think plus these items:

Perhaps try EB and mana reduction/ mana reserved nodes, these help a bit plus reduced mana cost gem.

So if take 40% incresed mana regen node, does that mean my regen would be 145%/minute or 147%/minute or if i have 100 mana i would regen 7 mana/minute instead of 5?

Could you link me your passive tree please?

Sure mate, be aware I am not a pro haha, one can build it much better probably :)



Other gear if you would like to take a look, poor man's stuff :)
