Sorceress Resource Regeneration Calculator & Guide.
Sorceress Mana Management Mastered!
In this guide, we will teach you how to completely get rid of any mana problems you might be having playing your Sorc in Diablo IV!
If you don't want to read the explanation, feel free to jump straight to the Sorceress Resource Calculator!
Mana per Second
Flat Mana per Second is your most important stat. Your Sorc's base mana regeneration is always 10 Mana per Second! The absolute best way to increase your mana regeneration is to get +X Mana per Second on your chest, boots, or helmet.
Flat Mana per Second is so strong because it gets multiplied with all your other mana regeneration modifiers. Try to get +X Mana per Second on at least 1, better 2 pieces of your gear!
Resource Cost Reduction
Resource Cost Reduction is everything which says "X% Resource Cost Reduction" or "X% Mana Cost Reduction" on your gear, including 50% from
Ring of Starless Skies.
This is your second most important stat for resource management. Resource Cost Reduction directly reduces the amount of mana your skills cost to cast. For example, if an ability costs 100 mana to cast and you have a 20% resource cost reduction, the actual cost will be reduced to 80 mana.
The reduction is multiplicative, so you can never reach a mana cost of zero. 40-50% Resource Cost Reduction is a good target here.
Resource Generation or Mana Regeneration
You can get additive and multiplicative resource generation. These values then directly multiply with your base mana regeneration.
Additive Resource Generation
Additive Resource Generation is everything which says "X% Resource/Mana Generation" or "Increases Resource/Mana Generation by X% [+]".
Your base mana regeneration, as well as some other effects (like Resource Gain on Lucky Hit), gets increased by the amount of Additive Resource Generation.
For example, if you have 20 base mana regeneration per second, and 50% Additive Resource Generation, you will regenerate 30 mana per second!
Multiplicative Resource Generation
Multiplicative Resource Generation is everything which says "Increases Resource/Mana Generation by X% [x]".
This will take your mana regeneration per second, already increased by your Additive Resource Generation, and multiply it with your Multiplicative Resource Generation.
For example, if you regenerate 30 mana per second after your Additive Resource Generation, and you have 50% Multiplicative Resource Generation, you will regenerate 45 mana per second!
Skill Resource Spend
To calculate how much mana regeneration we need, we have to first check how many casts we can pump out per second.
This is not as simple as you might think, since attack speed has certain breakpoints. The Sorceress Resource Calculator already takes this into account, but if you want to know how attack speed breakpoints work, make sure to check out the following guide: Sorcerer Attack Speed Breakpoints Explained.
After finding out how many skills you can cast per second, the rest is relatively simple math. Just use our calculator to do the rest for you.

Early Game Resource Management
Mastering your Mana without investing into Legendary Aspects is very important in for late game builds!
However, In the early game, there is some great Legendary aspects you can use for Mana Regeneration:
-
Starlight Aspect almost gives you infinite mana during early leveling. You will regenerate lot's of life using Life per Hit mechanics -
Aspect of the Umbral, if rolled at 3 or more, is extremely strong for early game mana regeneration.
-
Prodigy's Aspect, is allright, but definetly on the weaker end.
Furthermore there is another very strong stat for generating mana in the early game: The stat Mana per Kill can roll on Rings, Amulets and your Offhand. It is absolutely great when farming Helltides.
