Mana is an important resource obviously, but you shouldn't risk not getting kills just because you can't manage your mana properly.
What sam said
this isn't like a lion or crystal maiden where level 2 ulti costs 80% of their mana pool
if u cant manage a low mana spell on axe who doesn't have to spam that much ur doing smth wrong
I have seen a few pro players max their culling, put a point in their ward, the crit, and their ult, then up their stats a few times. Is this not a more reliable solution?

A buddy of mine kept wondering why I never max Culling Blade until I get my aghs up (much fun against squishy lineups). Basically, it's a waste of mana, for a hero with a limited manapool at best.
You can either dunk a <250hp guy for 60 mana, a <325hp guy for 120 mana, or a <400hp guy for 180 mana. Is it really worth spending 120 extra mana at lvl 16+ to overcome that 150 extra hp treshhold? Hell no.
Even if you get the kill because you didn't get that one extra spin needed to get your foe under that sweet 250hp, but you maxed your ult, you'll be rendered useless after the fight, because you're most probably out of mana.
Aghs solves the mana problem a bit, and gives you the ability to dunk creeps for the bonus MS, chase, and have CB up for your next fight/pickoff.
Fellow (pre-6.87) Axe spammers, what are your thoughts about this?
