Best helmet for my FA/LF-zon

[Lexur]

I'm using a shako right now, it's hard to beat the huge life/mana bonus.

I also have a Valkyrie Wing I could use (+2 skills, 4 mana after each kill)
How good is 'mana after each kill' ?

Another option would be a circlet with mana leech...

What would be the best way to leech mana?

Frozen Arrow?
1-pt Magic Arrow / Multi Shot ?
Lightning Fury ?

I need an IAS jewel in the helmet, which one is the best:

15 IAS / 20 Mana
15 IAS / 10 Damage to Mana

'Mana after each kill' is good if you kill somewhat fast. So Valkyrie Ving is a nice option. Try it and see what suits you.

Strafe is a good way of leeching mana, all arrows leech. Multishot costs alot of mana and all arrows doesnt leech when firing Multi.

Out of those to jewels, I would go for the 15/20. Because 10dam to mana isnt gonna do you any good, since you have to take damage to gain mana. And since you are a bowazon, you dont get hit much.

Imo, the best way to leech mana is Guided Arrow. As long as you have some mana leech (2 or 3% is really enough) and use Guided Arrow when you're low on mana, mana will never be a problem.

Now about those jewels, an amazon shouldn't be hit, so the 10% dtm is not a desirable mod. 20 extra mana is not necessary, but it's definitely the better of the two.

I usually don't look for mana leech on a helm. Typically, that comes from your ring or gloves. If you need it on your helm, a rare circlet is probably the best choice, but it needs mana leech, life, +skills and, if possible, resists. Good luck finding one.

Oh, and mana after each kill is nice when your kill speed is high. It cannot substitute mana leech though.

I think you can give Nightwing a go too....

What he says. How did I forget to mention Nightwings. It could be expensive though..

My strafer/FA hybrid uses a Nightwing's Veil (socketed with a 39ED/15IAS jewel) to great effect.

I like it much better than Valk Wing, Giant Skull, or Shako -- but that's a personal opinion, I suppose.

I would personally say Griffins if you're on ladder and happen to find one.
