- Mana focus https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_...mic_BiS_(mana)) - Theoretical max mana.
- Hp build https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Franswa (didn't make this one, but he's stacked!)
- My toon is here right now https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Phenomic
I think my "All around BiS" is a good balance of +HP, Max dex (for proc city), and decent mana pool (for 2x dirges). Could swap out BP of eradication for vindi BP for max Aura of battle. Additionally you might swap out an item or 2 for 3x dirges etc.
The mana build sacrifices some HP, BUT you get insane burst DPS:
4k mana means 5x https://wiki.project1999.com/Denon%27s_Desperate_Dirge
5x dirge with epic is 691dd * 5. 3456dd in 17 seconds
5x dirge with puretone is 966dd * 5. 4830dd in 17 seconds
Add in https://wiki.project1999.com/Brusco%...mbastic_Bellow for extra 600dd
BiS DPS 4830 + 600 = 5,430 in 21 seconds (6 songs). 258 DPS
258 DPS + whatever melee dps u can dish out. $$$

So in theory, you can start a fight, do 5,430dd in 21seconds, DA, swap songs, and continue to beat down whatever mob you trying to kill with your 3.1k hp + regens + rune/lifetap weapons
---
TLDR; Battle bard setup IS FIRE

Aside: https://wiki.project1999.com/Blood_Runed_Scimitar is legit for bards who dont have ST key and want to have a 45dd lifetap weapon with ok* ratio |
Wiki seems a little wrong on Dirge; I'm seeing 621 with epic. Still useful though. I started using it and/or deftdance on the closer fights.
I lucked out getting a Regal Band of Bathezid then went a bit overboard camping Overseer. Overseer seems to usually hit me about 50 times so that's ~800 free damage above the Blazing Vambraces.
I am able to repeatably kill him. I'm up to 71 succesful kills of the cycle (14 Dal`guur), and I only remember having to cap once. Of the three mobs on the cycle only the "a scarred Overseer" is stunnable, but Brusco's Bombastic Bellow does the full 8 seconds on him (and is a fine nuke on the others), so that was a good tip.
Pre-proccing proved to be too much of a PITA, so I'm just starting with werewolf click. I may yet be swayed to your dex views.
I haven't justified the following mathematically, but I've stopped singing regen and do a dot twist instead. So my current twist is to open with Angstlich; if it is resisted get Denon's+Fufil's in and recast as soon as it recycles, then Denon's->Fufil's->(maybe Angstlich or Bellows)->Tuyens 1->Tuyens 2, not recasting on resist unless I need the mr debuff.
I am now regularly using Kazumi's through enrage, I think that has been a solid boost.
I got a couple A Wizened Herb Collector and Foreman Mirt`akk kills as well; it seems most of the nameds on this level are basically equal to eachother, so expanding the target list is a matter of pulling singles and avoiding wall healers or issues with the target fleeing.
