Thanks. The reason I was asking is I was comparing two different rings. The main difference between them was that one added more INT, but the other added actual dmg. My total damage stat ended up being about the same with both rings, but obviously the ring with more INT added more mana. I wanted to find out if it would cause my lifegiver skill to get stronger, but it sounds like the only advantage to that ring would be not running out of mana as quick, and for the extra price it's not worth it.
