you will allways have mana "problems"

Its all about the mana regain.

Aka most important is to mo your rings and amulet with 5 x mana reg mo.

Seems fine.

When I swapped over to my Palazon build about 25-26 hours in the new season I had about 17k max damage with RD

If your playing RD.. thats the ability you got to kill stuff with :)

And yes if a boss cant be attacked from ranged the build can be annoying for certain bosses when you got low damage :)

When it comes to the weapon slot I guess you could either keep rolling until you get a very high phy/magic spell damage roll in combination with a oil roll for 10% spell damage. And don't forget to "shrine bless" with an Enchanted shrine.

I am not sure if its still possible, but in patch 2.0 I know we rolled some crazy phy/magic spell damage rolls in the 40% + with random shrines. Maybe a game dev can answer if this is still possible :mrgreen:

When it comes to the shield slot at some point you wont need bear stance anymore, as such keep rolling until you get a high roll with paladin levels into combination with high phy/magic spell damage roll and maybe some spell focus. And again don't forget to "shrine bless" with an Enchanted shrine.

When it comes to rings I guess nothing beats a well rolled rare ring where you have over 30%+ phy/magic spell damage.

I am sure the people who keep playing this build as a main build might have some other choices, and I would love to hear em. I ofc only use this build as a transition to my other build guide - https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=65260 (palazon guide)

Wow thanks so much for the options! And I didn't even know you use this only to transition to something else. That is great to know. Currently, farming K3K and Duncraig right now is feeling really nice! Really enjoying it. Maybe I'll try to transition to that next build once I get enough gear :)
