2pb/10fc/10repl/60life/90mana + 10fc/9repl/90mana/30res
1nec/20fc/60life/90mana + soj? (or raven? its 40 mana (you better not to count on that 20dex when you stat) and cbf+coldsorb)
im not convinced the second is better
i) you can't use 10 fcr amy + fcr ring @ caster setup...
20 fcr circ
20 fcr amy
35 fcr spirit
30 fcr viper
10/24 belt
Fcr ring + Raven
... else you'd want to replace raven with a fcr ring, wich is not an option.
ii) you can @ melee setup :
20 fcr circ
20 fcr amy
35 fcr spirit
So, let's do simple math :
1nec/20fc/60life/90mana + soj
versus 2pb/10fc/10repl/60life/90mana + 10fc/9repl/90mana/30res
= soj
versus 1 pb/10repl + 9repl/90mana/30 res
soj = 1 sk/25% mana/20 mana
We got : 25% mana
versus19 repl/70mana/30res
Well geared nec got atleast 1k mana. So 25% mana = 250 added mana.
We got 180 mana versus 19 repl/30 res.
At first 19 repl/30 looks better, but you must take into account that :
i) max life rep allowed on nec is 30, yet you've got atleast 10 on your circ (2*perf skulls) or even 20 if 10repl base + you've got 10 from boots. That is 20-30 life rep, yet your added life rep becomes bm.
ii) remember we're talking about melee setup (I showed you you have no place for a fcr ring @ caster setup) wich means that the added res becomes useless too.
This leads us to the fact that you earn 180 mana (20 fcr amy) versus
nothing (10 fcr amy).
You could object me that you're not forced to pkulls your helm. I can hear it. It would mean that your added liferep becomes usefull ; it would probably also mean that 10 fcr amy setup > 20 fcr amy setup. But true nec players know that pskulls are the best socket choice because % mana regen is so important/priceless.
Last but not least 20 fcr option would be waaay cheaper and yet realistic
