Mana Problems For Caster.. Really GGG????

Why does this feel so shit?

Chronomancer playing lighting caster just to reach maps. I'm level 40. Spark is low DPS... takes me around 2 minutes of straight DPS to kill a boss even with very good leveling gear (have +4 to skills...).

Mana cost for spark is about 1/8 of my mana PER SECOND.

I have to pop my mana flask 3-4x to get my mana up to 80% full.

Why is the mana flask so WEAK that it can't even sustain basic spell casting?

What is the solution to mana issues while leveling? I'm supposed to get top tier mana and regen rolls on all my gear?

What kind of dumb shit is this honestly?

Stop "creating problems to solve" and just make the game functional to play ffs. The problems are supposed to be tactically killing monsters and bosses, not dealing with silly flawed game systems you created.

FIX MANA FOR CASTERS.

You're right, the game wants you to deal with mana, but when it feels this bad, it just sucks the fun out of everything. Here are some suggestions:


Mana Flasks Aren't One-Size-Fits-All: Are you rolling your mana flasks with Orbs of Aug and Trans? That's the secret sauce that makes them actually useful for instant mana bursts. A normal flask just trickles mana in.

Passive Tree Nods: Even a few early points into mana regeneration or increased maximum mana can make a huge difference. You're not looking for perfect gear yet, just enough to breathe.

Support Gem Costs: Every support gem you link to Spark makes it cost more mana. Sometimes, running a 3-link you can actually cast is better than a 4-link that leaves you totally dry.

Jewelry is Your Friend: If you find rings or amulets with the "reduced mana cost of skills" or mana regen, grab them! They're godsends for leveling casters.

Clarity gem: Gives you flat mana regen and it helps a lot.

It's a huge pain now, but trust me, it gets way better once you get to maps and have more passive points and gear options. You'll get past this mana nightmare!

Guess what? With Crossbow skills you need 2-3 min to kill boss if you don't die trying. And this called balanced game when others finishing bosses in 3 sec.

Cheers GGG.
