Primate Murder -> RE: Beast Mage/Ranger Build (1/20/2021 4:35:10)

It seems, you're already mostly updated. I can find only a few things to comment on:
Weapons
You'll want an ice weapon of some sort. I suggest Spacefarer's Cannon. It won't do a whole lot of damage, but Freeze infliction synergizes very nicely with Frost Effigy pet, Frostgale's Remorse misc and D Burst.
Armors
You'll want to switch to Insightful Armor of Awe for a qc mana shield (that stays even if you switch armors).
Shield
Your current compression leaves you without a darkness shield. I would suggest switching to Darkovian Bulwark or Wartorn Heirloom if you're unwilling to spend a Rare GGB on a shield. You can use Umazen Aspis as your energy shield for synergy with Fruitcake Zards.
It's also worth noting that the Lorian Shield is fairly lackluster and actually underpowered by modern standards. I tend to recommend Scarab Shell, as its toggle lowers the monster MRM, increasing the accuracy of your entire side, including pets, guests and spells.
Spells
Paladin armor gives you Manifestation guest that deals 2x damage for 2x upkeep, which means you do not need to waste a slot on Mogsterio. In its place, you can use Twilly until you get Sugar Gobbler next Mogloween.
Pets
Underwyrmling is the only pet in the game that can harm monster sp, giving it unmatched utility.
Frost Effigy's Freeze infliction has great synergy with D Burst and Frostgale's Remorse misc, and Freeze potence gives a nice boost to Spacefarer's Cannon.
For energy, I would suggest replacing the Ravens with PikaZard, and later by Mutant Egg on Grenwog. Their paralysis stacks with Mogdin's and has great synergy with Frostgale's Remorse misc.
Model 294 toggles to inflict EleVuln, which has great synergy with both Grimlord and D Burst.
Miscs
Essence Orb remains essential to any build, of course, and Mana Trap is very useful against spellcasters, but I'd like to suggest alternatives to your other miscs:
Goggernaut Helm gives +10 bth to every attack on the field. This includes your pet and guest and doesn't have the usual /2 for spells.
Grakma Warhorn serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it can call a Grakma guest, which toggles to inflict a fire EleVuln - great synergy with D-Burst. Secondly, it can inflict you with Berserk - a multiplicative damage boost that doesn't /2 for spells (making it the strongest spell booster), though it comes at the expense of accuracy.
Frostgale's Remorse toggles between giving +20 bonus to inflicting Freeze and Paralysis, plus gives bonuses to Dex and ice/wind damage.
Rejuvenating Necklace can help you scrounge up some extra mp w/o wasting a turn on Draw Mana.
Clever Disguise is a beastmaster misc that sacrifices your turn and some sp to give guaranteed celerity to your pet and guest.
Yasakani Jewel makes your healing effects 10% more powerful (nice synergy with Twilly and Fairy Godmother), and also gives Dex and Cha.
Hope the info's useful and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
