when you are comparing 2 almost identical circlets and only the mana / @ res differ, while they both have 2 open sockets. Why on earth do mention "jools" as if they are relevant.
With some basic use of logics you should know jewels in this discussion are totaly irrelevant.
Its not like most HLDers play like us break, not drinking mana....
when you pot 20@ will be better.
So if you compare the access of both stats via sc's you'd only come to the conclusion that 78 mana is bigger gain in overall stats than 20@...?
Right?
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.
