Wow. There is so much to this topic, and so much I need to do to manage mana. More than half of these things, I didn't know. Thanks for the video Mike.
Hey Mike, thanks for all the great content and keep up the good work. I got some really good info out of this video! Would you care to explain why Resource cost dampening is better than Resource cost -% ? I tested both on boots just to see the difference, and they both did the same thing; decreased my current mana cost by the percent value on the piece of gear. At the time I had other pieces of gear with Resource cost dampening, but no other sources of Resource cost -%. I would have thought the Resource cost -% would be better since the wording implies that it is additive within itself, based on how other mechanics in the game works (damage decrease/dampening mods for example). Meaning if I'd have Resource cost -10% on both boots and belt that would give me Resource cost -20% , instead of a -19% dampening if I have 2 sources of 10% dampening (0,9 x 0,9 = 0,81 = 81% of initial mana cost -> 19% dampening). I have not had the time to test this out unfortunately, it's still only speculation.
Unfortunately I don't actually know if there is a difference between the two. in my testing they seemed the same and am thinking that it is a typo since only the Leo is the only one with resource cost dampen vs the rest with -%. if I said in the video anything about it then sorry because I honestly cant see a difference in testing.

You're so welcome!
You forgot about zodiac with make you lose life instead of mana
oh yes. convert mana good point. I don't personally care for it but yep that is something I will make a note of in the description.
Doesn't intelligence stat increase your mana pool? Cant check rn but i think it does
It sure does, I definitely should have mentioned that. Nice catch.

Haha of course this video comes out and I was having mana issues lol!
Yep. Mana issues are super common. I hope the video helps.
@@MikeTypeX it did. I fixed a few things
this is my problem...
Mana issues are sometimes tricky to solve and small changes to your build can bring them right back. Hope the video helps.
