I have 44 percent mana leech
71 mana and 45 HCI and 30 LMC

but I can't keep up armor ignore
it says it costs 30 mana but its much more than that now ??
it costs me 28 per hit with 30 LMC and 300 skills in swords/bush/parry
im hitting around 140-150

can someone tell me what i need to change to be able to keep up AI

it it more mana increase? or more mana leech?

thanks

You need the following:

Bigger mana pool
40 LMC
more damage so you're hitting over 170 on AIs

Hmmm you probably should work 15 ssi into your suit...

then you can leave ssi off weapon and imbue 65+ mana leech on weapon.

I've found that you need 40 LMC and about 80+ mana to be able to chain AIs. And even then you will occasionally run out of mana.

I run two sampires on my primary shard. One is for spawns and necro-casters. The other is for hard-hitting bosses where I need parry. Both are optimized to AI nearly non-stop. My templates are:

120 Swordsmanship
120 Bushido
120 Resisting Spells
115 Tactics
99 Necromancy
86 Chivalry
60 Parrying

120 Swordsmanship
120 Bushido
120 Parrying
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
99 Necromancy
84 Chivalry
Note: +24 Skill on Jewelry

As for resists, I always run with 70/70/70/70/75 (elf). I wouldn't think of running anything less than all 70s.

My resists are 70-95-67-70-70.

I'm really not concerned about being 3 under the cold or 5 under the energy (when worn on elf) cap.

EP and reduce str/dex so they hit 150 after chugging adding the free points to INT. I think a broadsword or longsword was the weapon of choice for the chugging AI samp.

one neat trick to do if you're tight on mod space is to use that butchers knife replica that has 25% ep. if you can fit 25% ep on your jewels, just equip the knife when you want to chug. not ideal but it works!
