4x 20-5@ sc > 20@
4x 20-17m sc > 68 mana.
so this diadem is better..
10/10

:mellow:
its 68mana vs 75mana, but thats not the point at all lol. If you can have 4 free scs on a nec not needing further resistances, that probably means your build is not optimised and that you can get some more extra stats/life/repl mod or different socket somewhere in your jewellry/helm/whatever to increase your tankability and get the final resistances from charms. I will put you a very clear example. If you use a 2nec 20fcr 60life 20@ nec amulet and u reach max resistances with 4 free scs, the best choice is to swap your amulet for a 2nec 20fcr 60life 10replenish life and use 4x 20/5's instead of 4x 20/17mana scs.
Mana wont help you surviving longer. In HLD you CAN drink mana as you stated, but ALSO theres no point in out-mana'ing your oponent because the first runing out of mana will stop the duel to gather some more pots, SO WILL YOU.
On a nec you reach the desired mana (850-900) on europe for example with spirit + 1x 80+mana mod + 1x 10-20 amulet mana mod + white/hoto mana mod.
I think anyone can understand this.
But i am out now for good and for real, this is becoming a pointless discussion rly.

That's true but the math here kinna misses why a res@ circ is good tho.
Necro's are unusual in that they really need max light/fire/cold res and poison can help too (vs kicking sins) - on sins/barbs max fire res in fpks doesn't help as much.
On Euro, Spirit of Pheonix +wisp + white sorb builds (so no res on shield) are quite viable due to the oak charges on wisp and extra max fire res, however with normal gear you'd find it hard to make up the required res even with 10x 20/5 @ scs, moreso if you want to avoid anya bugging your characters. Having res @ on the circ helps alleviate the burden on the rest of your gear, allowing you to use things like arach nvt (for max fcr on cta swap) rather than having to use bbelt for res.
On East, its self explanatory that as bmanas give 70 mana so its just better to have res@.
Having said that tho, its still a really good circ, great for specific 1v1's like nvh/nvd where you need a limited amount of res and would be trying to maximise your mana. Also the key thing is, as its on West NL (and if I remember the rules right) then mana >>>> res due to the fact the duels are in nightmare and wizzy gloves gives you more than enough res. Also people stack greater mana pots in the moore rather than the super pots, so if these are still the rules, then yeah I'd prefer mana.
