Not the most elegant solutions but:
You could put 1 point into cobra strike and use it with dragon talon/flight. Build at least 2 charges and then restore mana, might be hard to connect with CS though.

You could also use an up’d Nightsmoke belt for 50% dmg restored as mana. 1 point into Blade shield and some mana steal can help. Unfortunately both these options do mean getting hit, but you can combine them. Nightsmoke being the better of the two imo.

As others said, a big mana pool and insight is definitely the best option though. 2x spirit helps boost you mana pool a ton too. Putting some points into energy isn’t as bad as people say either. Your mana regen is based off max mana, so extra mana helps make insight more potent. Also, potions can “crit”, restoring double the amount of usual points, and the crit chance is based off of your energy stat for mana pots and vitality for health pots. So putting points into it can be really beneficial in the early game; increase your max pool, mana regen rate, and make your mana potions more powerful

I thought those fire bombs leeched mana because they had a % physical you can get mana on kill items but compared to insight they are not good

I guess that this is a detail of this build

I happened to have found a lot of skillers for a trapsin, a proper torch and the anni, arach, SOJ, almost everything

so I am testing her but the issues with mana regen/leach/replenish is not minor, it makes the gameplay harder

With Trapsin, you can go two routes:

  • For more convenience Insight on a mercenary, you’ll never experience mana issues. It’s good to have Call to Arms on switch, but not mandatory.
  • For more damage Infinity on a mercenary, Call to Arms and perhaps some investment in energy to increase your mana pool, and drink mana potions. You might also consider Phoenix shield for Redemption mainly, or on switch - but it will weaken Death Sentry.
