Mana leech on thrower?

[Smoot]

Does mana leech on a weapon stack with mana drain effect from wraith form? i know the life leech Does Not stack with vampiric embrace, but not sure with wraith. plus if a creature has no mana (like at an event where there are maybe 10 wraith throwers)

If they Do Not stack, im thinking wraith form with a hit spell or velocity would be a better choice than mana leech for a thrower. if i am wrong, please let me know! Thanks

YES... wraith form mana drain and hit mana leech stack.....Things to consider..
1) Hit mana drain is half as effective on ranged attacks and the lower the weapon speed the smaller the % you can put on the wep. This also means ssi on that ssi on the wep lowers your hit mana leech but it doesnt count ssi from other sources..

2) Wraith form & the newish Hit man drain weapon property both only take man if there is mana to be taken...

3) Wraith mana drain is dependent on your Spirit Speak skill.. Capping at 24% at 120...

Thanks for reply. it will be nice when i can actually mess around and play the character to figure out mana issues. but need to put finishing touches on suit (wish i had a miner - no valorite granite for enhanceing anywhere)

Well... you can number crunch if you know what your doing & calculate how much Mana you will get back between Wraith Form & Hit Mana Leech & then you should already know how much mana Armor Ignore is going to cost you (depending on your LMC) and determine if your going to be leeching enough.... All those formula's are listed either on stratics or UO Guide... just do some searching.
