Long story short, when crafting a caster amulet for a sorceress, if you had to choose between the affixes "Great Wyrm's" (+61-90 Mana) or "Of The Colossus" (+41-60 Life), which one would you choose and why?

Probably spent half a day watching videos, reading guides, and discovering calculators.

I've learned there are preset mods when crafting caster amulets.

4-10% Mana Regeneration
+10-20 Mana
Faster Cast 5-10%

From what I've gathered browsing the trophy room, the top affixes are:

"Arch-Angel's" (+2 Sorceress Skills)

"Of The Apprentice" (Faster Cast 10%)
"Of Atlas" (+21-30 Strength)

Let me know what you think, would you want Mana or Life? Or would you keep both and remove the strength mod?

I feel the end game is entirely vitality focused and so my initial thought would be to choose "Of The Colossus" (+41-60 Life), but many people in the Trophy room complain about not having enough Mana. So, I am a little confused about which would be the preferred mod.

Thanks, I thought energy shield might have something to do with it. I think more life is better overall but I feel that is a less popular opinion currently.

I don’t type opinions. Just facts.

u could go for a 2/10fcr/30str/60hp/90mana for most es builds as well, 20fcr only ever needed if u use orb and not hoto.
