Help me figure this out please. Losing insight on my merc has created an issue in which I have to chug mana potions at a rate I’m not ok with… to solve this I replaced my bk ring and raven frost with two mana leech rings (I need at least 12%+ mana leech to sustain) however losing raven frost means no more “cannot be frozen”… this is better than the mana problem but I still can’t live like that so I’m thinking of CHAM’n my Shako. Shako currently has 15% ias jewel in it to hit 52% java throw breakpoint so if I cham it I’m going to lose a frame on my attacks. Another potential option is for me to replace shako with 15% ias jewel’d “Steal Skull” or “Tals Helm” to gain Mana leech from helm slot and put raven frost back on. Then I’ll lose the two to all skills shako provided. I’m not sure what to do…
i use phoenix shield, perfect quality of life metod to avoid use a single potion. and i kill everything pretty fast etc…
I see so I’m just a vex, vex, Lo, Jah from all my mana problems going away. 
Honestly though even if I could get a free Phoenix shield losing spirit is probably worse than losing shako for steel skull.
you can also use the amulet that give 15% mana leech, don’t remember the name in english.
I just googled it… its crescent moon. Hmm something to consider.
Lidless shield or silkweave can help.
Got a 14 ML crescent moon for 2 puls

In 2.4 ladder wisdom will be an option too. Also allows you to replace razortail with thundergods and ravenfrost with SoJ 
Omg I just looked that up and yes!!! That solves everything, I just need to completely start over on ladder is all. Lol
Or take a 3 month break 
In the mean time another option I’ve discover is… you can get +2 to zon skills 8%ML coronets/tiaras. I think this might be my best option. Some of them can even roll with stuff like FWR, MF, and All Res. If I could find someone selling a decent zon coronet I will be a happy boi again.
Another option - Valkyrie Wing, if you can find one with +2 to skills and +4 to mana after kill.
do you use maxroll d2planner to theorycraft?
no but ty, Ill google that and check it out
Silkweave is the solution I believe
You can equip Souldrainer Glove to leech mana and life.
Phoenix runeword shield. expensive, but you get what you pay for. Enhanced damage and redemption aura.
You need a mana leech ring and at least 5 maek. Valkyrie and silkwave do the job well paired with a 6 ml ring.
I like 3os headhunter’s glory. It has got life after kill. You can socket 3 maek jewel rares and other stuff inside then bye bye potions.
Phoenix is dogshat.
