DreamSlash Shadow Resummon system and mana, sugestions please

Rogue

I studied the skill and the ressumon shadow system from the Recurring Dreams node is consuming 5 mana for shadow resummoned up to 4 at a time.

There is the node that make free resummon with 30% chance.

Then the questions come:

  1. Can Doppelganger mimicry resummon shadow be an extra ou counts to the resummon of the Recurring Dreams (there is a chance of one shadow resummon 2? Or no? If no the mana cost is lower if yes the mana cost will be higher even with the item but has the chance to double ressumon per shadow)

  2. How do you rogue players think to have to manage this mana issue? As Dreamslash has the highest base atack speed in the game, we can reach 4.5 atacks per second with only 200% atack speed. That means with 4 shadows (1 is always resummon with Umbral Recollection node, and at least 3 ressumon with 5 mana each). That means 15x4.5 mana each second, 60 mana!!!

Then?

  1. Lower you atack speed
  2. Increase mana regen
  3. Do a combo o mana regen with shadow cascade and shift to mana regen and then repeat?
  4. Umbral blades nerfed, has use to recover mana with shift?

Please give me ideas to keep the super build viable

It looks like the main form of mana reduction for the build will actually be stacking shadow reform chance. You can get 60% easily with the 30% from the skill tree and 30% from Doppelganger’s Mimicry.

If 60% mana reduction isn’t enough you can try incorporating these 2 unique:

The Butcher’s Crown should be able to net 20 mana per second with fairly low mana regen investment.

Foot of the Mountain can also provide large mana cost reduction, but you would have to use the node that makes you stand still.
