Focus

[BaalV]

Hello. I use Shadow build on my warlock, but I can't fully enjoy it, because of lack of focus. How do you guys manage with that? It is known, that Shadow build consumes much more focus than the Ice build. I have HM Helix, HM Dimensional and HM Mantra, but still after few combos I am out of "mana". I would also add that it is very hard to click Mantra to get focus regeneration while making a rotation, cause it is like 0.5sec to launch it. Thanks for your replies

Every first hit of Wingstorm I use LMB for Mantra, zero problems with focus.

Throw a mantra into your rotation where there's little action. 
Usually I throw one before I burst with siphon or soulburn, then one near the end.

Actually I thought I would hear that there is something like a trick to get alot of focus during the fight. I know these methods you mentioned, I use them, but sometimes I am forced to stop my combo and wait for mantra. It makes me pissed when I have to do it each 6 seconds... When I try to catch mantra during combo, it suddenly disappears, therefore I have to stop rotation for a second (as you realize 1 sec is like ~25k dmg).

Yeah learn to add it into your rotation. Its quite easy to put it in after a V or a 4.
