Thx alot @Zerosorc @boardman21 for the kind words and also a big thank you to both of you for your content on yt!
Yes i also tried the mirages but mainly for a Poison Puncture version. Like you said the 15 mana cost is kind of annoying and since the release of rogue i always thought the mana cost is to high for a skill that supports so many ailment aspects. For a skill that focuses around stacking ailments and attacking as much as possible it should be around the cost of Detonating Arrow or Multishot, or even less. Or at least give high mana cost skills a modifier that increases the dmg of ailments like Llama suggested in one of his threads:

A suggestion for ailments proc'd by expensive/slower hitting skills

The current meta for DoTs (if such a thing exists) is that they require the fastest hitting skills to be most effective because that’s how you stack damage, lots of hits in as short a time frame as possible with as much proc chance as possible. It’s why they’re so effective from pet builds, more entities to hit thereby more stacks in a given time frame. Slow &/or high cost skills are therefore less effective to proc ailments because they don’t get as many hits in so fewer stacks. What if those …

I usually prefer QoL over Power in all of my builds and having no mana issues is just one of the best qol aspect to me
Since you can bring up HoA to a 100Mana cost skill it would be terrible to play Puncture with additional 15 Mana, and HoA is doing basically everything what Puncture is missing. Big dmg & AoE.
