mana troubles

[ianaird]

Hello everyone, this my first post, but i felt i had to ask the question.
I am fairly new to d2(just over a year) done alot of reading up, got some help from friends on charcter builds, made alot of mistakes with builds but getting there.
I have built what i think is a fairly good pala: lvl 91 at the moment
Equipment: shako umed 141def, almost perf enigma ap, 30 maras, 2 soj, arach 120ed, eth sands 14/14, mages, pala combat sk with life,str, etc, anni and torch.
I do 15k dmg with bo, can solo anywhere no probs, BUT when making my pala i read not to put any points into mana, so i never, and that is this guys only problem, iam forever using mana potions. It is doing my nut, should i of invested more points into mana or do i just have to live with this?
I have tried a few different combinations with rings etc, crafted some amulets that increase mana but nothing works.
Please Help.

thx
Ianaird

If you want/like to play with a merc,give him insight polearm and your problems are solved,it has meditation aura. If you dislike mercs,change mara for a pally crafted amulet with +2 skills and 15% fcr. Together with hoto (you are using that,right?) and arach you hit the 75% fcr breakpoint and you can use frostburns instead of magefist...
