You can increase mana faster than medding or FT2. You do that by not spending mana in the first place. That is what clickies allow you to do. You can save thousands of mana per hour using clickies, which is the equivalent of having extra mana regeneration and casting those spells instead.

That is why Blood Ember is typically better than Greenmist. Mana is the bottleneck for Shadowknights, as your post suggests, and clickies are saving you mana.

There are people who choose not to use Blood Ember clickies for whatever reason, and that is perfectly fine. You aren't required to play the game as optimally as possible to have fun or make progress.

I am simply pointing out that clickies ARE the equivalent to FT items. Fungi Staff, as an example, is basically an FT2 item for Shamans because it saves 1200 mana per hour on casting Regeneration.
