| I always try to keep mana somewhere below 100 - it usually whinds up around 85-90 for cold sorcs, less for fire. Helps reduce the chance Baal will slap me with Blood Mana...
... until a wind druid or bonemancer shows up - then Baal hits everyone with it anyways.
Energy shield isn't going to save you all the time - so no, you don't need the übermana pool. Just don't be afraid to drink a potion every so often, it's not that hard.
I say: VITA! 250+ STR (depending on gear you chose - based on type of sorc... ormus' robes aren't exactly heavywieght gear) MANA < 100. |
