Cyclone Mana problems!! Maurader - HELP

So I just edited my old thread.

I took advise as per the below.

5L : Cyclone, Melee Physical, Faster Attacks, Concentrated Effect, Added Fire dmg.

My sheet DPS is 7,881. No complaint there!

However, @ 116 mana, my pool w/ Hatred up is only 320. So I can hit twice... :/

I have 4% Mana Leech on amulet. (Physical dmg done per swing is 555-1142 , so i'm leeching about 22.2-45.68 per swing.)

There's a few "Reduced Mana Cost" Passives I can take... but would do about 10% w/o going out of my way following my guide, but i'd rather get more physical dps/life.

Also - How is my Chance to Hit? It's 87% - What can I do to increase it?

My questions:
1) Does damage done per enemy hit leech 4% on each 555-1142 hit? (ie, lets say i do the minimum 555 phys damage, 22 mana leech, if i hit 5 enemies, do I leech 110 mana?)
2) Does Mana Leech on Physical apply instantly? Or over time?
3) What Can I do to help w/ mana situation
4) Chance to Hit - How to increase it?(passive 10% increase, how can i find the base that this is applied to?)

Staves are STR/INT, so GBBRR will be really easy to get since there's only one off-color.

I thought concentrated effect was considered mandatory for cyclone though, so you may consider that instead of one of the crit gems.

Oooo forgot about Concentrated Effect. Yes, very nice gem for Cyclone

Melee Physical and Faster Attacks, you can't really go wrong with those two as a base. Add anything else to it that you might want, but those two are, IMO, non-negotiable. Unless, of course, you are going Elemental Cycl....I can't finish, since we all know that Elemental Cyclone is a thing of legend.

bump new question, reviving old thread.

1,2,4) mana is leeched over time and rate is capped at 12,5% of your max mana per second
3)depends.. mana regen, mana leech, blood magic, soul taker

1) Yes.
2) over time. And that's your problem.
3) get mana on gear, get manaregen on gear, get mana passives, get manaregen passives, get more %manaleech, get lowlevel clarity aura
4) accuracy is the stat you are looking for. You can get up to 400 accuracy on rings, amulet, gloves, helmet. And there's a ton of %accuracy nodes all around the tree. Or you go for resolute technique.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

Just 2 pts i can get resolute technique, and save +accuracy stat to get mana on their instead, not many passives i can drop at the moment, but i'll get some mana regen/reduced skill cost gems.

So much into this :D 6L Staff and i'd put Reduced Mana in there! :D

Or, you could drop a gem and replace it with blood magic, saving quite a few passive points to apply to other things.

Edit: Just saw you want to put in RM. Forget that and run BM. You will leach the cost back anyways.

Keep in mind that Cyclone's cost is a cost-per-use not cost-per-swing, too. If you click across a screen full of monsters, it still only costs 116 mana but you have a screen's worth of time and damage to regain that from. If you click on a monster and hold it, or click on the ground near you, you can easily spend more than that 116 mana each second.

P.S., I really dislike Added Fire Damage. Did Increased Critical Damage not help your dps as much? I guess it doesn't matter anyway if you're going for RT.
