WW- too little mana problem

I'm making a WW Barbarian, but I run out of mana too easily. What should I do? NB: I don't have resources for runewords.

Stats:

Hand 1: Military pick with 6% mana leech

Hand 2: Cleaver with 6% mana leech

Gloves with 3% Mana leech

Mana globe- 39

Level 52, WW maxed.|||Get a mana leech ring. Manald Heal is a cheap option (it also has a rather low level req for a ring with up to 6% ML), but a rare one would be better, preferably one with life leech as well.|||Yes, the mana leech on each weapon works independently, so you are only getting 9% per hit not 15%

Get some Leech on a ring, or even a circlet. You should be able to gamble them or even trade one for some Pgems if you want to. I would focus more on getting some higher damage weapons also if you can get some off weapon leech, you need a good damage base to leech from. You should be able to shop for some decent weapons for now if you don't have anything else.

Also...Are you using Battle orders? that mana pool is really low. You can also put some sapphires in some armor or helms to get more mana. Or get some mana charms to stick in your pack.|||with ur lvl u could use a belt like gloom trap, even a frostburn gaunlets do the job while lvling, i use to wear those on my first ww barb til lvl 60 or so|||Quote:

What is the maximum mana leech % on rings? And when do these best rings appear (what level)?

What does this mean?

Yes, I use BO. Above, I stated mana without BO. *With* BO it reaches 93, but it still runs out after 3-4 whirls.

Also, does weapon speed count? My 1st weapon is normal speed, the other is fast.|||Regarding rings, Manald Heal has up to 6% ML. On rare rings, the 6% ML mod has a level req in the 70s. 4-5% is a bit lower.

Mana leech is a percentage, so the more damage you deal, the more mana is leeched. It's halved, respectively divided by 3 in nightmare/hell mode BTW.

Regarding WW: I see no point in using 2 weapons. Either use a weapon and a shield (and maximize blocking then!) or a big two-hander (cheaper than buying two good weapons). Regarding attack speed, it only depends on what's on the weapon. For one-handed weapons (including two-handed swords being worn one-handed), take the base weapon speed (shown in [ ] on the normal/exceptional/elite weapons pages of the item section of Arreat Summit) and subtract the IAS value. If it is -34 or lower, you have maximum WW speed. For two-handed non-swords it's -60. For two-handed swords worn two-handed, it's -51.
