Hello - I was checking out this build as I wanted to try something different after my run with ED/Contagion (great map clear, not great on bosses, issues with interuption or blocking spell projectiles - not sure there).

In the Pros/Cons it was listed that damage on bosses was a con and said it was a bit lacking - can anyone that has run this build yet me know if that means that boss fights take ridiculously long or if it's still great, but you aren't one shotting them.

Sorry, but I don't know if I'm okay to post anything; I might get banned for harassment!

But seriously, man, your post already reminds me how much I miss horticrafting! Doubt I'll ever have anything like this again:

I think you've hit the nail on the head here with the two methods. I would go with A if I had more currency and patience than I do...but I bet I'll go with B. Keep in mind that the Redeemer's suffixes aren't all weighted equally, so while method B is legitimately a 50% chance to hit the mod, method A is really more like an 18% chance.

Also, you can increase your odds with fertile catalysts. I don't know exactly how it's calculated, but putting mana/life quality on an item does tilt the weights of the mods you roll to some extent. Be warned that the catalysts aren't cheap and that you'll lose all the quality after you slam it. Then you'll divine it until you hit 20% on the mana recovery and use another 20 catalysts. Bleh. But ultimately it's kind of necessary if you want the massive damage boost from RF.

If there are any master crafters lurking here, feel free to chime in!

Boss damage can be pretty good, but it will take some investment. This build is really fun to play, but if you're looking for a boss killer, there are better ones out there.

I've done a smaller update to bring in more mana- and EO stability for those that struggled in those regards. Also finally had time to record some videos of the 3.12 setup, with all those changes already applied. I'm also planning to rewrite the mana explanation in main mechanics whenever I have time, as that still seems to be a bit unclear to some.
