Mana Burn or Sadistic Servants?

[Elman1o1]

how much mana does each one take away?
ie,does mana burn take away as much mana as it does damage?

and sadistic servants, any one have a clue how much mana it takes away at each level of the spell.


or is energy barrow (the mana controll mana stealing spell) the best way to go for taking away opponent mana?

any advise is welcome, thank you.

Mana burn does damage who cant be resisted while the opponent has mana, does around 30-40 per tick. It burns more mana than sadistic or mana drain, but it doesnt give it to you.

For me drain mana>mana burn>sadistic servants.

The amount of mana drained of sadistic and mana drain per lvl is 150-300-450-600-750.

Just remember, mana drain gives you the mana instantly, sadistic gives it in 30 seconds but sometimes sadistic is better than mana drain, especially vs targets with low mana.

also, drain mana is called "mana borrow" if you're confused

Energy borrow...


On topic, i always prefered mana burn to saddistic servants with my lock, it's very useful on heavy armoured opponents, since the damage caused by mana burn ignores armor and resistance.

I HATE mana burn. The #1 reason i cast SoTW early when facing a mage is to protect my mana.
