Definitive Path of Exile 2 Mana Guide – Mana Scaling, Archmage, Mana Recovery, & More

Mana is a spell-casting resource in almost every action RPG game out there, but in PoE 2, it’s so much more than that. You can use it as an incredible scaling tool around which you can create OP builds. Find everything you need to develop and improve a Mana-scaling build in our complete Path of Exile 2 Mana guide below.

Author’s note: The following guide is made of two larger sections, with the purpose of it being whole in one place. The first part covers basic concepts and some theory crafting related to Mana stacking in Path of Exile 2 (for beginners mostly). The second part is a complete list of all Gems, Items, Passives, and Item modifiers that increase your Mana and help you sustain it.

What is Mana in Path of Exile 2?

Mana is a resource you spend to use Skills in Path of Exile 2. However, Mana can also serve as a powerful offensive and defensive scaling tool. You can see your current Maximum Mana in the Character menu (C key) or by hovering over the Orb in the lower-right corner of your screen. You can see your Mana status at all times by enabling that option in Interface Settings.

In PoE 1, Mana-stacking Archmage builds have been absolute meta for a few Leagues now. With their insane DPS and survivability, they can consistently clear possibly the hardest content in the game, deep Delve.

Full Mana and Low Mana Statuses

Some bonuses are active only when you are either full or low on Mana. Full Mana bonuses only apply while you are at 100% of your Mana, while Low Mana bonuses apply while you are below 50% of your Mana. Certain Unique Items can modify both of these thresholds.

Scaling Damage and Defenses With Mana in PoE 2

Certain Gems, Unique Items, and Passives scale based on your Maximum Mana, offering you more Damage and survivability. Out of the many listed further below, these select few stand out:

• Archmage: If you put some quality on it, at max level, you will get 8% extra Lightning damage for every 100 Mana you have. If you can manage the increased Mana consumption, your damage can multiply exponentially.
• The Everlasting Gaze and Atziri’s Disdain: These are very powerful defensive items. With high enough Mana to scale off of, they can increase your Energy Shield by thousands. However, Atziri’s Disdain should not be used in combination with Chaos Inoculation Keystone.
• Force of Will: Arcane Surge buff might seem underwhelming at first. However, it can become a potent buff when you increase its effect. On a low investment, with the buff active, you can easily get 40% More Cast Speed and 80% More Mana Regeneration. The keyword here is “More,” which is a multiplicative modifier.
• Arcane Intensity: A Notable Passive that has a similar effect to the Indigon from PoE 1, but permanent and on a much lower scale. Despite that, with enough Mana, it is the Best source of % increased Spell Damage on the whole Skill Tree.

Difference Between Increased and More Modifiers

At low levels, they work the same. However, “More” modifiers become much stronger the more you upgrade your build, as they apply after the “Increased” modifiers. For example:

• Let’s say you increased your Attack Damage by 200% from Passives on the Skill Tree. Combine that with your Base Damage, which is 100%, and you have 300% total Damage.
  • Now, if you increase it by another 100% to a total of 400% Damage, you will boost your Damage by 33%.
  • If you apply a 100% “More” Damage modifier to the 300% you have, it will increase it by 100% at the end of the calculation. So, 300% + 300%, which is 600% Damage in total.

Ascendencies That Can Scale The Most with Mana

Stormweaver has the highest Mana scaling potential in Path of Exile 2. It buffs the effect of Arcane Surge, increases your Lightning Damage, and even allows you to apply double Shocks. Other Ascendencies that can benefit from stacking Mana are:

• Hand of Chayula (Monk): Ravenous Doubts and Consuming Questions are a good combo for a permanent Mana sustain. Combine those two with Mind Over Matter, Eldritch Battery, and Chaotic Inoculation, and you have a decent build already. Hand of Wisdom and Action Unique Gloves also seem like a good fit.
• Infernalist (Witch): A build around the Pyromantic Pact will basically give you an infinite Mana pool. However, you will have to mitigate the Fire Damage you will constantly receive.
• Gemling Legionnaire (Mercenary): It’s a balanced Ascendancy that increases your DPS by giving extra Levels and Quality to your Skills. Advanced Thaumaturgy can also significantly reduce your Mana Costs.
• Chronomancer (Sorceress): The Rapid River has good defensive potential if you get enough Mana Recoup.

Skill, Spirit, and Support Gems That Scale With Mana

The following Gems can be combined to increase your Damage exponentially. While some, like Sigil of Power, do it at basically no cost, others can drain your whole mana very quickly. To permanently sustain them, increase your Mana recovery and reduce their Costs. Both of these mechanics are covered further in the guide.

Gem	Type	Details
Mana Tempest	Spell Tier: 9	Creates a storm of arcane energies that Empowers your Mana-costing Spells while you remain inside it.

Unique Item Modifiers That Scale With Mana

Items below have unique modifiers that scale off of your Mana in some way. They can easily become an essential part of your build, as some of them offer a lot of DPS and survivability to it.

Item	Stats, Requirements and Modifiers	Item	Stats, Requirements and Modifiers
The Everlasting Gaze Azure Amulet	Unique Amulet (20–30)% increased Mana Regeneration Rate +50 to maximum Mana 50% increased Mana Regeneration Rate Gain (20–30)% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield	Atziri’s Disdain Gold Circlet	Unique Helmet Energy Shield: 58 Requires Level 40, 74 Int +(40–60) to maximum Mana (10–20)% increased Rarity of Items found (20–25)% of Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield Gain (25–30)% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield

Passives That Scale With Mana

Some of the following Ascendancy Passives are a must-have if you decide to stack Mana on your build. You can even make builds around Passives like the Pyromantic Pact. The Notables below are always worth going for as they offer a huge DPS increase, so try to path towards them if you can.

Mind over Matter, Eldritch Battery, and Chaos Inoculation

Mind Over Matter, Eldritch Battery, and Chaos Inoculation are three passives with an insane synergy. They are all allocated on the top side of the Skill Tree, which makes them easy to path toward. With all three, your Maximum Life becomes 1, and you have no Energy Shield, but you get immunity to Chaos Damage and a huge pool of Mana that can keep you alive.

There is a unique interaction at the moment that might be unintentional. It has to do with the “Gain (#–#)% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield” modifier found on certain Unique Items. If you have Eldritch Battery allocated and this modifier on one of your Items, you will get a huge pool of Energy Shield back. This can basically double your survivability.

Important things to note:

• For Chaotic Inoculation: You have to get Passives on the Skill Tree that give you a percentage of your Energy Shield as an additional Stun Threshold. If you don’t, you will easily get stunned because you only have 1 Life. Also, do not use Atziri’s Disdain, as anything would kill you if you run out of Mana.
• For Eldritch Battery: Eldritch Battery only scales with Energy Shield on your gear, so there is no “double dipping” into it.
• For Items like The Everlasting Gaze: The Energy Shield that you get back by equipping Items like The Everlasting Gaze can be further increased through Passives on the Skill Tree.

Stacking and Sustaining Mana in Path of Exile 2

At the moment, you are very limited with how much you can increase your Mana from the Passive Skill Tree. So, take only the nodes that are close to other passives you are going toward. Most of your Mana will come from Rare items that you find, craft, or buy. Look for high-tier normal and hybrid modifiers that give you Mana, Intelligence, and Energy Shield (If you allocated Eldritch Battery).

How you decide to sustain your Mana consumption will largely depend on the type of your build. Each Mana recovery mechanic is explained further in the guide under its relevant section.

Intelligence Stacking

Each point of Intelligence gives you +2 to Maximum Mana, which piles up if you get enough of it from the Skill Tree and your Items. Also, you can use Intelligence to scale your DPS through the Pure Power Passive, which is located at the top of the Skill Tree. It increases your Lightning Damage by 2% per 10 Intelligence.

Maximizing Mana Through Gear in Path of Exile 2

Flat Mana and % increased Mana modifiers can be found as Prefixes on most Rare Items. Combine them with Hybrid mods that give you a bit more, and you are golden. If you allocated Eldritch Battery, try to get as much Energy Shield as you can.

ES and Mana will fill out Prefixes on most of your items. So, try and look for some Resistances and Intelligence as Suffixes to round out your build. If you can fit them, look for other modifiers that increase your Cast/Attack Speed, Spell/Attack Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Elemental Damage. Any other modifier that increased the DPS and survivability of your build works as well.

Navigating The Second Part of The Guide

Below are listed all sources of Mana, Mana recovery, and ways to reduce the Mana Costs of your Skills. They are split up depending on whether they can be found on:

• Item Bases and Unique Items
• Passives on the Skill Tree
• Skill, Buff, or Support Gems
• Or as modifiers on Non-Unique Items in the form of Runes, Enchants, Prefixes, and Suffixes. Hybrid modifiers can be rolled along with the regular ones to maximize the stat you are looking for. For example, with Zaffre and Lich’s modifiers on a Staff, you can get up to +296 to Maximum Mana.

Complete List of All Mana Sources in PoE 2

Most Unique Items offer too little Mana to justify putting them into your build. So, focus on stacking Mana through Rare Items and Passives on the Skill Tree. The exceptions are Dream Fragments and Morior Invictus because of their % increased Mana mods. Some Uniques are useful because of other modifiers they have, like the Midnight Braid, which gives you a huge amount of Mana Recoup.

Mana Recovery in Path of Exile 2

There are several ways to recover Mana in Path of Exile 2. The most obvious one is by using Mana Flasks, whose effects and uptime can be increased in many ways. You can also reduce or increase the Mana Cost of your Skills so that you have more sustain or trigger specific effects more often. Other options for recovering Mana are viable based on the type of build you are playing.

• If you use Attack Skills, go for Mana Leech, on Hit or on Kill effects, or try converting your Mana Costs to Life Costs.
• If you Cast Spells, go for Mana Regeneration and on Hit or Kill effects. If you are playing a Chronomancer, Mana Recoup can be a decent option as well.

Mana Recovery Modifier

Increased Mana Recovery as a modifier is extremely rare. It works like a “More” modifier, and it increases the effectiveness of all other Mana sustain mechanics.

Mana Flasks

Mana Flasks are self-explanatory. You can use them multiple times in quick succession to restore a lot of Mana at once. To maximize their use, get the relevant Mana Recovery from Flasks modifiers. To increase their uptime, get mods that generate Flask Charges or help you get more of them.

Mana Flask Gems

Gem	Type	Details
Mana Bounty	Support Tier: 3	Supports any skill that Hits enemies, causing enemies it kills to grant more Mana Flask charges. Enemies killed by Hits from Supported Skills grant 100% more Mana Flask Charges

Mana Regeneration

Mana Regeneration is a passive way of recovering Mana. You will probably increase it by a lot if you go for other Items and Passives that boost your Mana. If you are playing a Stormweaver and utilizing the effects of Arcane Surge, you can potentially sustain your Mana with Regeneration alone.

Mana Regeneration Gems

Gem	Type	Details
Mana Remnants	Buff Tier: 4 Reservation: 30 Spirit	Conjures surging lightning to restore your Mana.

Mana Leech

Mana Leech lets you recover a percentage of the Damage you deal as Mana. The Leech effect stops once you reach Full Mana. You can queue the Leech effect with modifiers similar to the one on the Fast Metabolism Passive.

Mana Drain skill is exclusive to Attuned Wands, and it stops you from dealing Damage while you recover Mana through it, so I don’t recommend it. If you are using Attack Skills, then Mana Leech is a viable option for Mana recovery.

Mana on Hit, on Kill, and Other Interactions

With these mechanics, you regain Mana when you Hit, Kill, Block, use a Warcry, etc. Gaining Mana on Kill can be useful, but you can’t rely on it for Bosses. So, focus on Mana on Hit modifiers instead. Other interactions, such as regaining Mana when you Cull enemies, are situational. Use them only if they work on your specific build.

Mana Recoup

Mana Recoup occurs over 8 seconds. If you allocate The Rapid River as a Chronomancer, it’s sped up to 4 seconds, and if you get Pliable Flesh on the Skill Tree, you can get it to occur over 3 seconds. Unless you are playing a Chronomancer, it’s not worth investing in.

Reducing And Increasing Mana Cost of Skills

You can reduce or increase the overall cost of your Skills through some Items and Passives. These modifiers are additive, unlike the Advanced Thaumaturgy from the Gemling Legionnaire, which gives you 30% Less Cost of Skills. Still, they can help reduce your Mana consumption.
