quick question before i start imbuing..

[frostbolt]

on my armor for sampire. should i do lmc or mana increase? im either gona have 0 lmc and 3 slots used for 8 mi or im gona use that to get 20 % lmc.

so which is better 24 extra mana or
1 point of mana off of lightning strike and perhaps 2 off of consecrate weapon

I think you might find your answer in a discussion that happened yesterday. Here:

ok well ill attempt to do some math but im probably gona get it wrong..

30 base mana
54 with mana increase imbue

so i would be able to do bout 10 lightning strikes round up to 11 before running out of mana at 5 mana cost per lightning strike, not factoring in mana leach cause i dont know how to calculate mana leach..

or if i have 30 mana and do 4 points of mana per lightning strike
ill be able to do 7

but now while this looks good on paper..i dont know whether or not any spells cast at me might make one better than the other so i need some answers about that

If I were you, and my math is dreadful, I'd scroll straight down that thread to post #20

well the thing is i have no mana regen or meditation so it doesnt really apply, im gona be relying on mana leach for mana regen.

so all i really got from that thread is more lmc is better than having less lmc and more mana regen.

im trying to decide between mana increase and lmc.

edit
mana increase as in add to my base mana pool not mana regen which increases regen rate
