Warrior/Knight Help Help Me Build Ultimate Hero

So far I'm using classic rage hero with ornate pants. It's awesome damage and spell spam, EHP is usually enough (5 dex SP for infernal infuse I use when I just need to survive smth - sustain):

Tho, in some situations you may struggle from having only 11k hp and 40k no agi ehp. Some of Orphion and Colossus attacks seem to ingore defence (idk why, maybe there's another way to fight that than making other build) - that's especially important when you go hero rage and your HP and non agi EHP is even lower - you can get 1 tapped.
On wars you are good if you dodge auras, more bulk is for a chill fight.

Other than that, I wanted to improve build just because it seems possible with many SP left to assign that I just slapped into more defence on my current build.

Important things to save on this build are: it must still have some mana regen and 1 mana cost 1st and 3rd spell to quickly spam X uppers->bash combos. It must have decent damage: not dramatically lower than current 13.7k base uppers (war scream). It should have more HP/EHP.

I started combining with some key items like the ones that give tons of SP: blue mask, dark shround, vaward, cosmos, libra. Another key item is crusade sabatons that gives massive SP and HP and allows you to be much safer in rage sacrifice mode as your full HP is around 15k. Then, key trinkets are the ones that help you achieve 1 mana spells and I couldn't really find anything than Black catalyst rings and dragon's eye bracelet. The later is especially important as there is no other way to get 1 mana cost uppers it seems.

Finally, I couldn't make the build that fits all my requirements as any of them lacks of something.
1) Better than current build: it has way more HP and EHP, more spell damage BUT only 1 mana regen:

2) Better EHP and awesome mana regen BUT HP stays low and resurgence makes your damage eh:

3) The build that fits all my requirements but +8 SP - not possible:
https://wynnbuilder.github.io/#4_06...t > Diamond Fusion Necklace > Hero [e6e6e6e6]
4) The build that fit all BUT it is 2 mana uppers:
https://wynnbuilder.github.io/#4_06...s > Diamond Fusion Necklace > Hero [e6e6e6e6]

P.S. also consider that to help me you can use more than base max SP points: I have 2 cosmic tomes (+2 rainbow SP) and can get a guild tome (+2 random SP to 2 random elememts).


Please, help me reach the requirements that I need or provide some alternatives or explain why I don't need something I want to improve (please, don't suggest consumables).

 

Also made nice tanky hero with monstorous EHP, HP, HPR, still you can spell spam, the damage is lower tho and won't rly work for rage sacrifice abuse at all (requires cosmic tomes):

BUILDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE IN NEARLY ALL TERMS:
All that fits my requirmenets but I fear I won't be able to spam fast with 4 mr:

https://wynnbuilder.github.io/#4_0p...0Qi0K131f1A2M1g100036100036100036100336100nZ6 the build that ren recomended me, it has its pros and cons but supposedly its better than the one with ornate (more ws and better ele defs)
i think the attacks that ignore defence that you were talking abut are becouse of the -ele defs btw

 

I will always recommend Rhythm of the Seasons/Hero dual wield...

WynnBuilder build:

> Vaward

> Black Catalyst
> Black Catalyst
> Dragon's Eye Bracelet
> Diamond Hydro Necklace

Edit: powder for rage obviously

 

Bump cuz this thread was made while I was on spring break and I was lazy, and I might try to make something for it later

 

Here's what I got for now, idk if you can actually assign the 8 more sp (Also, note that the -earth goes away once you powder)
Only 5k more ehp than original build, but better ele defs

I found out that 4mr is okay for 1 mana cost spell spam with the right timing and spell combo so I sticked to 4 mr builds.
The 1st build is for more limited users that can't use a guild tome, othet than that it only wins at having 650 more raw HP and 10k more EHP.
The alternative 4mr build needs not only cosmic tomes but also a guild tome to get 10 extra overall SP. It has decent speed, some lifesteal just in case, slightly more spell damage AND has 0 raw hpr. Both can dual wield ROTS thanks to crabs which is highly important actually.

ofc we can go for even more spell damage but there we ll have to put a gravestone on raw hp and ehp (and also some defence SP). ehp's importance is kinda understandable - for raids and solo warring. But what's the role of raw HP on hero? With the combination of massive ehp it allows u to go on even crazier damage abuse for missing HP since u can feel much safer at extremely low HP%. 15k raw hp instead of 10k and much lower ehp for the very least allows u to play at 7.5k hp and be certain of tanking everything while u can die to smth with 5k hp and lower defence more often. Other than that, u can go lower than 50%, let's say 30 or 20 that will even ur spell damage to these relatively glassy hero builds focused on damage.

Damage of uppercuts at lowest playable and 50% HP (37k and 32k uppers with tomes and war scream)

 

If you want to optimise your hero build don't use rage hero. Dodge was buffed in 1.20 and now pretty much gives free 150% air dmg and curse/courage are just great in raids (and also outside of them).
While rage hero was situationally better in 1.19 (if you had really low hp and got hit all the time so you always only had 1x dodge) there just isn't a reason to use it anymore, especially in raids.
