Lvl 34 Bowazon, Cold Arrow and Ice Arrow - critical need for mana. Help!

As the title notes, I am finally doing some good damage, but running out of mana far too fast. I have better than average equipment for my level, but clearly need to find possible ways to boost mana and mana retention. Any recommendations very much appreciated. I know there is some very rare gear that would help, but I'm hardly likely to come across those items. Everything I see has very low boosts to mana, if any. Thanks for any help.

And yes, I "now" know that I should have gone

Fire Arrow and

Exploding Arrow, but I initially clearly wasn't using the optimum guides for starting, before coming across some better ones just recently. And I'm in Act 6 "normal" so WAY too early to respec. But I believe the mana issue would still exist, even then.

You can get 2

Caster Ring, craft use 25 lv char gamble ring. Get 20-40 mana + 3 %mana per hit x 2 , in best scenario, you can have 6% ml 40 mana. and craft cast amulet.

The other solution is equip 2 soj.

My solution is way simple, craft 2 lv 25 req

Caster Ring,

Caster Amulet and use token to change to just enough str dex, then half life half energy.

You can put Insight in bows

On my Frostmaiden zon I put one point into

Strafe, and set it to my right mouse button. I have 6% mana, 8% life leech ring/ When my mana starts to drop a bit I hit my right mouse button and it's topped instantly. With

Strafe a ring with as little as 4% mana leech will do the job, but a little more is always better.

Insight is great on bows, but another option I like is Insight on an Act 2 mercenary for many mana-hungry builds.

Make sure to make it in a Polearm, it does not work in a

Spear.

Plus, Act 2 merc when you get to Nightmare can use Might which is great with Bowazon (or physical in general) builds. You can also use

Holy Freeze as well for good cc.
