Unlike the BE gloves/boots which I have found rather useful on my SK, I never found Tolan's gloves to get amazing use on my ranger... honestly I'd rather have the extra slot to loot another fine steel sword [You must be logged in to view images.

Anyways, considering the context of the thread is best solo power, free snare isn't terribly useful, especially as if you are soloing it is pretty easy to quickly catch a med tick and recoup mana spent on casting a snare properly. |
Definitely agree. I've never considered using Tolan's gloves, they're just not worth it. Anyone advocating for them isn't worth listening to.

Bcbrown ranger's magelo is more or less EC BIS, leaning on the sturdier side. Yeah it is hard to get more mana on a EC beat but if you want more there are options. Melees get the 12mana/wis treatment too and you'll pretty much always be under the 200wis softcap so it is good returns. Yeah, you'll have to sacrifice some stats but depending on the task at hand it might not matter much. If you have the "luxury" of raiding gear it is even easier.

I was actually planning on getting a Di'Zok Signet of Service for a while, figuring more mana=better. I farmed all the skins and everything but never pulled the trigger. My mana pool has just never felt like a constraint, unlike hp, dex, strength, ac, resists.
That said, I definitely agree with Cecily and Tytos about the benefits to reducing downtime of having a bigger mana pool. You can go longer between breaks, and you can better choose the timing of when you take a break. You don't need to start every fight at max hp/mana to still reap the benefits of increased hp/mana.
