Keeping in mind that now we have also regen from ZO and and regen on kill from Occultist Ascendancy and our max lech rate is lower, Kelvynn, do you think a Watcher's Eye with 30% ES recovery with Discipline is a better choice than Es gain on hit with Discipline ?

Es recovery WE is now 2.5 EX just sold the Kaom and i have that currency should i go for it or wait to get more currency for WE with ES gain on hit ?

personally im going with ES on hit for mapping, and that sweet 180% es max leech with zealotry, for bosses, already brouhgt hubris head with 15% reduced zealotry mana res, planing on going with that mana reservation nodes in templar area and go zeal + AA + disci, but thats just a fun side project, killed uber elder with "stock" build settings :)

Sometimes I want to go with the craziest, rarest, most expensive options, but then I remember that I have to stay in the 'everybody can get this' field and keep the build realistic for more than just a few people...

You don't need anything for mana regen. You can run out of mana if your WO is high level and linked to some supports, but only if you channel for a while without stopping. This problem disappears after you enchant your boots (doesn't need to be Uber Lab; Merc or even Cruel will do just fine, and you can run them quickly and easily a few times to get the leech enchant).

Or you can avoid linking WO to more than a couple of supports. Or carry a slow acting mana flask (of Staunching or warding). In the 80's you will get some mana regen from the tree again on top of that.

If you look at the gem directly - it only show "base mana consumption". Each support gem, if applicable to winter orb in any way, modify its cost with multiplier stated on support gem. For example, controlled destruction have mana multiplier of 130%.
For example, imagine 5 support gems with multiplier 130%, cost would be: 4*1.3*1.3*1.3*1.3*1.3=14.8
Never underestimate geometric progression :)
