Okay so i know hmp a bit, so i wanted to give my feedback on this guide.
First of all, skills.
Why put points into DJ? It seems to give so less in return but also increases the mana cost a shit ton.
Why put so much points into specilization to just put 5 more points into dragonheart, it doesnt seem to be worth it to use 15 points for extra 30 ewd. It also enables you to put 5 moer points into colosseum but it seems unnecessary since its 5 second debuff for bosses, and you already have so DA for moving.
Why max Blessed life after you get capped phys resist? The flat phys reduction doesnt seem to be worth it since it doesnt scale that much.
Second, items.
Is colonel really good? Ben told meabout it before and i made a whole build around it, and it was still no damage compared to what you can get with a normal build.
I would like to suggest adding samael sword

on the options as well. I know its very hard to get and very hard to equip, but it is better than oriflamme in my opinion.
What about

shield? I was theorycrafting about a mostly dex/some str hmp build with max block with angelhost and i was thinking cherubim proc would be very good. Wouldnt it make more sense to attack, and then proc cherubim, rather than just use cherubim and not attack at all? What do you think about this?
For helm, i think cinadide is really good with cinadide belt, but

much better than those two? Can you explain your reasoning with these choices?

For gloves i would like to suggest

since it gives bunch of ewd, flat and stats.
I was also crafting jewels with Amn rune for flat stats, but i guess you crafting it with max damage gives more overall damage.
