WarCry barb mana probs

I have a question for those of you who have played a singer with an insight merc.

How much will a perfect meditation insight help with mana problems?

Enough that i won't have to gear to have a huge mana pool?

Thanks|||I'll try to do some maths.

WarCry slvl 30: ~40 mana per cry.

With even 63% fcr (9 frames bp) you are to spend ~110 mana per second, 125/sec for 105% fcr and 140/sec for 200fcr.

So, mana pool with no energy invest and perfect anni/torch - 150, say 300 after slvl 23 battle orders.

slvl 17 meditation - +700% mana regen.


Code:

http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Mana_regeneration

25 * [ [256 * MaxMana / 3000] * (100 + BaseRegenRateBonus) / 100] / 256

Given this formula is correct, you should expect about 20 mana per second regen at clvl 99.

To compensate mana consumption for nonstop singing, you should have 1500+ mana pool.

To ensure you're capable of singing for 5 seconds (from full to 0 mana), you should have ~468 mana pool for the 105% fcr case.

For an imaginary situation of 45slvl wc and 200fcr, mana pool of 750 will be enough to continiously singing for 5 seconds.

I've never been playing a singer, so this is a pure speculation.|||Quote:

no, you will still have problems. you will have to have +mana gear*. i made a thing that could help you (link here), though it's not specifically designed for your question.

*note: +mana will generally help you out much more than %mana since bo provides a huge % increase anyway. for example it may be better to have a 100 mana ring instead of a Stone of Jordan.|||Thanks guys, was really helpful.

Now i just have to find the gear....
