Deadfall still drops.

I'm new to the game and I'm playing an assassin. My main damage skill is twin fang strike which is really fun but sustaining mana is a big problem even with 4 mystic orbs of mana steal on the weapon. I've just entered terror with her but I remember reading somewhere that mana steal gets worse each time you progress into a new difficulty so I how do I sustain mana with twin fang strike when it costs 175 mana?

Since there's MXL Launcher and i use it, i have a question. Where do i have to put custom font files ? In MXL folder or in Launcher folder ?

EDIT:

@ToolBox
+mana on kill, if that orb still exist. Also you are using skill that is kinda melee spell so +%spell damage and -%enemy res are your primal dmg boosters.

Mine is in D2 folder and works fine.

@Fumbles
Do you use mxl launcher or d2se ?

[Fumbles]

I tried launcher to make sure and its no different than the client by itself. Void uploaded a font a while back and it had the instructions for d2se in the download itself.

Is it worth putting points into Thorn Strike? I don't see it doing anything besides increasing the mana cost. What is the "+x physical damage" doing? Is it just flat damage?

My best guess is that it's flat physical damage added to your weapon, which then takes into consideration conversions for elemental damages and procs for other skills.

Thanks for the response. mana on kill doesn't appear to be in the game. so I'm going to switch to mana on attack and see how that goes. Other than that the only other way I can think of sustaining mana would be to invest heavily in regen which doesnt really work how I would like since im always in the thick of things blinking in and out just to regen mana doesn't feel right.

Skill like this are usually 1-pointers.
