Level 28 sorcerer low mana with chain lightning (self.diablo)

I wasn't following builds for sorcerer. Just going with the flow.

I mainly use chain lightning, on 28 level with max mana 119. After 4 strikes, I'm out of mana. Just recently, I started using crackling energy with mana restore upon pickup. I feel like I could improve somewhere.

Any tips that doesn't involve looking at complete builds? Question aside, does diablo have a tool for showing your current char?

Update: Thank you for the tip! I'm looking after missing aspects and better gear with mana regeneration and cost reduction. In the meantime, I switched to ice. Opening with Blizzard then Frozen Orb with Frost Bolt support. Occasionally Frost Nova and Ice Armor if the group is really aggressive.

Pick up Recharging Aspect from the Zenith dungeon in Fractured Peaks. Use Frost Bolt with Glinting Frost Bolt as your Basic with Frost Nova with Mystical Frost Nova to increase mana regen and decrease the number of casts needed to clear a pack. Add the Fireball Enhancement for more group damage.

Mystical Frost Nova gives Vulnerable and Freezes over a larger area than Flame Shield's burn aura, which lets you generate mana from Frost Bolt more easily than Fire Bolt.

Open with Frost Nova then cast Frost Bolt, then Chain Lightning and alternate between casts of FB and CL to regen a bit of mana between CL casts.
