My mana is pretty bad but I just pot for that. Running out of mana for a moment won't kill you, unlike health...
lvl 41 myth bows just don't cut the mustard anymore. Sure, the procs are cool, but not cool enough to justify paying 10-30 times more (IMO, anyway). Better to get an arcane ring with all that gold you'll be saving. Or save for the new mythic weapons. Ditto the imbued stuff- some of it has better stats (but many don't), and again, not enough to justify the cost, particularly given new Ursoth and elite gear is coming. Very soon.
Planar pendant is still worth it IMO but you'd better get in quick before arena and tombs scale up (I'm not 100% sure they will, but I think it's likely) and it's a long arduous process. I'm chipping away at it but I'm not there yet. Even so, I have dmg in the high 700s, just over 5k health and just under 2k armour. Excluding the arcane ring the total cost of all my gear (excluding gems) is probably about 400k max at the moment.
