poison necro mana problem

[eb]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

I've created a poison necro. Problem is Poison nova is such a mana hog. How
does anyone get around the mana drain problem. I have socketed armor with 4
pskull in it for great regen. I also thought about having skulls in a dagger
(using poison dagger also) What would anyone else suggest?

Try Tir runes. Six of them in a weapon gives +12 to mana per kill.

Insight polearm for merc, 2-3 trang-ouls items for mana regen, mana charms

I can second that, my es/fo sorc can tank and spam fo and the blue bubble
doesn't dip till I get hit by a mana burner.

I just wish they allowed insight in bows or swords so an act1 or act3 merc
could carry it. Half the time I am teleporting away to keep my merc away
from things that will kill him.

Do Tir runes work with magic spells? I always thought it was just for melee.

Tir in anything will do that, actually. No matter what you put it in,
you get 2 per kill.

How about 4 perfect sapphires in armour and 3 in helmet like mask.
Should give you 7x38=266 to mana. Mana regenerating items are not so
good if you have only small amount of mana. I have starting gear that I
use for all my casters: 3 perfect sapphires in breast plate, 3 in mask.
Str needed 30 on level 18. For younger characters I use less perfect
sapphires in similar equipment.

Good idea. didn't think of that. That, with mana regen rings, should work
great.

Already in progress. Problem is I'm still in Normal, but will venture out
into NM when i'm about level 50.
Any suggestion on the type of Act 2 merc? Normally I would use a Thorns merc
for my Necros, but since I'm not using minions (other than a fire golem),
maybe the freeze merc?
