Just wondering, how much of the genie's mana/attack power thing is optimal? Does the mana gain cap out at a certain point?

Thanks guys.

I know my genie came with 15xx mana/attack and I get 196 mana from it every 2 seconds.

Bumping for discussion and because I'm curious myself.

It's old but I think the data still applies.

~300 mana gained per tick is like a softcap?
Anyone can confirm or offer more information?

I have a 6k mana collection genie I've been using but I fully upgraded it and spread out the stats a little. I'm starting to wonder if I ugpraded it wrong or should I search for another one.

I feel like 500 mana gained in one tick would be a convenient setup, because then you would only need to attack 3 times and you'd have full mana.
But I don't know if this is possible.

caps is your mana cap

Go like 3100 attack on genie there's a graph somewhere on DD forums showing that anything past that is just a waste

Well of course but according to that link there is a "soft" cap meaning extra points beyond that point suffer from severe diminishing returns to the point where it's near impossible to reach high values such as 1500, at least on a legit item.
And according to that it's 300 mana per tick.

I wanna know if anyone gets more than 300 mana per tick and what their setup is.

what reezes said i go to 3500 on mine and just dump into stats after.
