Am I the only one finding it difficult to maintain or generate resources? I built a fire sorc first and found myself having to kite almost every single fight before changing to ice shard sorc which was a bit better. But is there a class that essentially has "mana leech" with skills so I don't need to worry about resources?

This seems to be the issue

100% I'm even running bone spear necro and I'm constantly full of essence , gotta know how to build for sustain

theres an aspect which gives mana back after using a cooldown. i found this to be very helpful for my sorc pre-season.
youll want to stack lucky hit and also the stat that gives back mana on lucky hit.
you will also want to stack mana cost reduction.

however, i havent played a sorc since the patch of "ruin all fun".

Rogue>Druid and Necro> Sorc and barb

If sorc could spam all their skills and stuff would die they would be up their with druid and necro.

Everyone said sorc got nerfed into the ground

Firewall with the 3 second keeps burning when enemy leaves, stacks with multiple firewalls. Perfect for kiting and the 3sec makes wall 4times more usefull for moving monsters. (30mana)
Then i use the Enchantment: ''whenever cast a spell, 30%chance to cast a frozen orb at a nearbye enemy) (40mana*0.3=12free mana per cast)
Then you also have 1 hydra up (20 mana for 10sec damage)

My lvl 64 ice shards sorc melts everything and has zero mana issues. Lmk if you have any questions.

get a glacial aspect. go full blizz with ice shard enchantment. enjoy melting everything in your path

He needs to be running infinite mana ice shards build. Im playing sorc season 1 and melting shit.
