In Path of Exile 2, increasing your maximum mana is essential if you rely on spells or abilities that use a lot of mana. Here’s how you can boost your Mana pool.

First things first, you should know that intelligence is the key stat for your mana. Basically, each point in intelligence that you master will give you +2 Max Mana. In other words, the more intelligence you have, the bigger your mana pool will be in Path of Exile 2. So, your main focus should be on acquiring as much intelligence as you can. 

There are also many Passive Skill Tree nodes that increase your mana, especially those that focus on intelligence. You will find several nodes that give a flat bonus like +10 Max Mana or +5 to all attributes, which will help boost your total Mana.

Also, you can equip gear that provides bonuses to Max Mana or Intelligence. You still have to rely on mana regeneration, because no matter how big your mana pool is, you will eventually drain it. In those cases, you can always opt for Support Gems, as it helps in recovering your mana significantly for a short amount of time.

Some of the support gems are:

  • Font of Mana: When you equip this Support Gem, you will get a boost of 40% in mana regeneration rate.
  • Clarity: This is another Support Gem that gives a 30% boost in mana regeneration rate.
  • Arcane Surge: You will basically receive an Arcane Surge and a burst of mana regeneration once you have drained the mana pool.
