My Whirlwind Barb Runs Out Of Mana In One Attack - Best Options To Solve This?

No data yet

2

Description

As noted above, my WW barb runs out of mana in one single swoop. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or suggestions on how to improve this. I've addressed mana needs for other characters, but none were this severe. Can I solve this with rings, and amulets? Which ones, and are the impossible to get? Any help would be of immense value. Thanks.

Facts:

Level 75
using complete Immortal Kings Set (which I realize isnt absolutely optimal, but I have it, and its not exactly chopped liver either).

Can be used to make Runewords:

Any rare ring with Mana-Leech will do.

I will not take offers that bypass diablo2.io

Thanks. Wasnt sure if that would be enough given how fast be blows through mana.

Worth noting, undead skellies don't give any health or mana from "leech" effects. This confused the heck out of me for a while.

Crescent Moon amulet is a strong and cheap option if you're lacking mana.
Rings and amulet are you're only choices if you're using IK (barring a Vex in the weapon)

Also i think if u somehow able to stack enough mana per kill, assuming u can kill each mob withi. 1 or 2 whirls, u should get back ur mana, alternative to % mana leech

Or add a perf Skull to ur weapon ;) cheap and would solve ur mana issue i think…

Can trade on PC or SWITCH

Then why would you post your original question? Adding Grief means you won't be using IK, opening up a whole world of mana rectifying solutions.

Lawbringer or Azurewrath in offhand will fix mana leech against undead. But you will be knocking back enemies. Works well with Frenzy but not sure about ww barb.

I use a dual leech rare ring and it does the job.

Adding Grief doesn't rule out using the rest of the IK gear, does it?

Haahaa, it will once you use it and you experience how fast everything melts.
Also it'll mean you're splitting points between Mace and sword mastery. That's not recommended so you'll need to settle on a weapon class. Effectively forcing you to chose between IK set and Grief.

You could maybe run Grief naked and still wreck stuff. I like eBotD on offhand, it has life and mana leech. I also use a dual leech ring with FCR for even more leech (both probably not necessary, but I like the faster Teleport from FCR).

All trades are negotiable within reason :)

Having an Act II merc with an Insight Tresher also helped me for a while, especially in zones where you can't leech much like Halls of the Dead. But aside from that you should be able to leech enough on your own without depending completely on your merc. I used Soul Drainer Vambraces for a long while until I got a good dual leech ring. And once you have Grief, your leeching really starts skyrocketing.

If you use full IK set, your gloves should provide 10% mana leech, which should solve most of your mana issues. I do have a IK WW Barb and it works well. Worth noting : I have 3 grand charms bringing around 40 mana each on my inventory + 40 mana on good old Raved Frost, and that helps a lot : the pool is bigger AND th regen is faster. I am at 380-ish mana before BC/BO.

Actually, the gloves provide 10% life leech, which wont help me.

They give 10% mana leech with 5 IK items worn

Indeed, which means you really need the full set for it to work, not a part of it.

Thanks for the correction. Hmmmm...............giving up being able to use my Grief sword, especially after what I went through to get it, would be tough. And then I would likely to have to come up with all new high level equipment too...........no easy task, decisions, decisions

I made the effort to put together a perfect Grief 5 socket Phase Blade because every guide I read said that Grief was the ultimate Barbarian weapon.

You are not wrong and you can definitely use your Grief and still get the build going without IK set. If you choose an offhand weapon that has mana leech, or a ring with it. You could even still wear 5 IK items and just not use the weapon, but I'd swap other stuff out too. Laying of Hands are cheap nice gloves, Gore Rider for Boots, maybe a Highlord's Wrath amulet or something else decent. IK Helm can remain, it rules by itself. Or just use Arreat's Face. Armor can be your choice really (I use Enigma but you don't need it). Treachery maybe could be a good cheap one. Verdungo Belt, or String of Ears.

I might have a random dual leech ring to give you if you need. Add me on bnet I can check when I get home!
