i'll just give you honest answer , you playing as Techies , and you have Soul Ring and Arcane Boots ,you drop your arcane boots and use the Soul Ring so that you get extra mana since Arcane boots make your mana pool larger

put simply , you need that extra health or mana by dropping specific item that make your hp/mp bigger

another cool trick is to move stuff to your backpack and back out, cause that does the same thing. and its a little safer

why would you drop the arcane boots ?? i mean you can use soul ring even without dropping arcane boots right ?

Cause you get a bigger % of mana when you drop arcane boots. Its just an efficiency play that youll understand over time.

Does it? I don't think so. Because mana boots gives absolute mana value, not intelligence, therefore it doesn't scale.

Whenever a hero's maximum mana changes for any reason, the hero's ratio of current mana to maximum mana is kept constant, changing its current mana accordingly. This is also why you're supposed to switch Power Treads to agility to use regen consumables.

Arcane Boots grants 250 maximum mana. Soul Ring restores 150 mana on use, only increasing your maximum if you otherwise wouldn't be able to fit it all. Say you have 1000 mana with your boots on and you've used half of it (so you're at 500/1000, or 50%). If you drop your boots or store them in your backpack, you'll drop to 375/750 mana, still 50%. If you use your Soul Ring after dropping your boots, you'll gain 150 mana, bringing you to 525/750, which is 70%. Putting your boots back on keeps your mana at 70%, so your final mana total is 700/1000. In other words, in this case, this gets you 200 mana from your ring, 50 more than if you didn't juggle your boots.

The bonus gets bigger the lower your maximum mana is, so an early-game Techies with just boots and a ring gets a lot out of it.

Ok thanks, I didn't know it worked like that also for mana boots, thanks for the explanation.
