I'm probably not explaining very well.

What happens is, we burn some life, Agnostic burns *some* mana to replenish that - but we aren't losing life faster than Agnostic can replenish it, so Agnostic is only active in very short burts, which is why we can maintain the mana burn rate. The game works in tics, of which there are many per second, but for the sake of this, lets look at it in terms of 1 second.

So with RF running and Agnostic healing us, in one second we:
- burn 428 life.
- burn 428 mana to replenish that life.
However, for most of that second, we're at full life, so no Agnostic running, so... ~3600 mana regen left over.

If we express that in terms of single points... for every point of burn damage we take, the game burns a point of mana to heal it, then regens another 8-9 points of mana, then we loop to burning a point of damage.

When I go back and read over this, seems clear as mud to me, and I already understand it. Hope it helps some, anyway.

It is totally fine, I'm thrilled about it even - thanks!
I haven't even had any thoughts about rerolling cause I love the build a lot, I have experimented with a few things on it (was using CotB and Trinity in that Maven) and plan to continue playing it to 100. Big fan

this might be a stupid question but where does most of our mana regen come from?

Hey, first of all thanks alot for the guide, I really like the MoM Agnostic Playstyle and its working quite good so far. But tbh i realized that i don't really like BF/BB in the long run... Is it viable to play Stormbrand instead? I saw a few people on poe.ninja swapping that in (I should be similar to hier Archmage SB)

Thanks for your help!

right got it but tell me one more - why clear mind cobalt jewel with "% increased Spell Damage while no Mana is Reserved" if we use clarity and wrath??

you should never use clarity and wrath, the clear mind is an error on the clarity setup. You can still use it for the mana regen though.
