That sounds perfect, but...

So no Euphoria.

I'm thinking I just switch to crafted gloves and/or helm, and focus on pierce for a few damage types, rather than rainbow damage with little pierce.
Thanks for the input.

If you're playing an older version, then you should still have pierce MO's too, right?

Yep, 15 per item @ +2 levels each, doubled for crafted/honorific.
I'll drop the lightning/cold procs (from gloves and helm) and focus more on physical/magical, fire and poison damages with pierce for the fire and poison.
So I go for fascinating or shimmering shrine crafts, then MO for extra pierce? +paladin skills (1 for gloves and 4 for helm) and maybe an on attack proc like spellbind for helm, but what for gloves? Stormblast won't help me as I have no weapon damage.

I would still have 50% ctc Balefire, 30% Miasma, 5% Disintegrate + Blood Thorns, Symphony of Destruction and Vessel of Judgement, all with 600%+ spell damage.

lorenado on attack for gloves. spellbind won't help you that much. if euphoria isn't a thing, use rapture to cover your speeds, and you can use fire/poison

teleport when struck gets real annoying

keeps you alive better and allows you to spread damage more quickly with procs or spells. I would try it if you can. you can make lower level crafts to get lorenado more easily. ilvl with imbuing: ilvl = char lvl + 4, so if you want the highest possible stats but still getting lorenado, make a lvl 45 char with imbue quest to imbue your crafting gloves to rare and use those for shrines.

I play every character solo, self found (without plugY etc). There is no going back for me.

left click one while hovering your mouse near the lower center of the orb

Keeping in mind that I'm currently on old MXL2012, is OHMAN unholy paladin viable?
I want to cast OHMAN then weapon switch to Sinewstring SU short bow for 50% bloodstar on striking.
I know I'll need to heavily invest in max mana, mana regen and mana on kill etc, but it just seemed like a fun idea.
