Sorry, I fail to see why it would be a bad idea, can you elaborate on what you mean?

(if you have mana problems, use either mana leech, blood magic or reduced mana)


beside this, what can we do to help?!i dont want to lose a gem slot for mana problem...
but getting the mana regen is impossible, i would need around 50mana/sec (i have 10 atm would need 500% mana regen)

i have 0.8% manaleech, but it doesnt do much....(from glove/ring)
150 unreserved mana

Take mana flows and the reduced mana cost of skills nodes at templar and you'll be fine. With 0.8% mana leech and those nodes, there's no way you should have mana problems.

this is what i am saying against boss/single target maintaining mana is impossible...
i have:
-0.72% mana leech
-mana flows
-Testudo
-20 mana regen/sec
-168 unreserved mana
-ice crash cost 48mana/cast with 0.43cast/sec
-13k dps ice crash

-and yes
I, only 50% of your total phys dmg is converted, not 50% of your dps, so i basically have no phys dmg:

(using a 302Pdps sword)

do i have to invest in : Righteous Decree or Revely node too?!
or should I get more mana regen from gear?!,maybe run a clarity?!
EDIT:
just tried a clarity lvl 4 (mana regen up to 30 from 20)
and unreserved mana down to 92 from 168

still not working, but i think its bcuz mana unreserved is too low

EDIT 2:
i just took rightous Decree in addition to Mana flows, with 0.76% mana leech
still cannot sustain mana against single target boss
(did 3 voll runs, none could kill voll, without needing a lot of mana)
even with clarity lvl 4,112 unreserved mana, 43 mana cost, i cannot sustain the mana cost

What I said stands, as I was talking about Ice Crash as a skill: if you use it without any auras, added fire gem, wed etc, your dps will be 50/50 phys/ele.

Then simply use blood magic. Will enable you to get at least 5 extra nodes by ditching all the mana nodes and maybe get better stats on gear as you don't need mana leech. Also, you can reserve your entire mana then and add 1 more aura.

Or if you don't like that, buy a soul taker and respec into axe nodes.

EDIT: Big thing I didn't notice: you just now said you're using a sword. That's quite possibly your problem. I use a mace for a reason: it hits slower, but harder, which means you get more overall leech per hit as you do more physical damage. A sword hits faster and for less flat phys per hit, both of which is bad for mana sustainability.

EDIT 2: You also haven't mentioned trying warlord's mark, and that has to be more than enough even with a sword.

thanks,

i will soon 75 in 1 level, and i will try my Doryani's Catalyst (mace)
im using blood rage too, which increased my attack speed, which might explain why i need so much mana
and yes i am using warlord mark, but with a lvl 1 cwdt and it doenst proc quite often... which is sad
i might change my gem and put it with tempest shield/curse on hit/warlord mark

Oh boy, the changes in 2.1 are LOVELY! Melee splash buffed, lowered mana cost of melee skills, more mana leech in the tree... These are HUGE for this build!

Gonna post an updated passive tree soon.
