specifically, the best combo that I can think of with it is voll's protector. Because the -max mana mod won't apply to your "mana" aka ES and with ghost reaver you can easily leech ES aka mana, you may be able to save a link (assuming you have some amount of leech somewhere). Alternate to ghost reaver you could use zealot's oath. Either way, it allows you to reserve 100% of mana while not being forced into using a blood magic support gem. Of course, you'd likely need either quite high regen + ES (assuming you are a mana intensive build) for ZO or else a very reliable way to sustain hp if u go Ghost Reaver (and maybe some leech speed too, considering the potential leech speed "changes" aka nerfs). Still, buying yourself a free link in a "fakener" or CoC Cyclone Discharge build is very powerful (bypassing the blood magic gem), and something that required far more investment with old EB.

That does sound good. CoCers usually don't have a very high mana cost for their main skills, so they could get away with the "ES on hit" mod for jewels, meaning no need for ZO or GR.
