I personally have always favored mage builds, because in my opinion, versatility equals surviveability. So by having MP, you can use it, or use weapons.
In addition, MP healing is far more plentiful than SP healing.
Probably here are the strongest MP healing I have personally used.
1. Dragonlord armor + shield + magic weapon, and you can heal a TON of MP. If you are able, try and get Arms of Dragonguard Spell. Even if you dont land any shots, your next turn all your hits are lucky strikes. (I am a lucky beastmage and rely on stun-lock with my pets/guests rather than trying to spend 5 minutes buffing my blocking, though I'll admit blocking builds probably do better vs bosses)
~An all lucky strike with some offense boosts using the FSB on dragonlord yields fantastic MP heal....literally like you can go from none to full in some occasions.
2. Summon Essence of Carnage- This guest is not as great for blocking builds, as it's backlash toggle obviously relies on being hit, but on the other hand on the MP heal toggle, it increases the damage of your spells for every turn you do not cast a spell, or it heals MP based on magic weapon damage done...and again, in certain instances, buffs/hypercrit you can MP heal 2-4 spell casts worth.
Then, if you COMBINE dragonlord and this guest, it gets crazy on the MP heal.Full heal 1-2 turns or close if you want.
The summon essence of carnage guest to me is crazy good. You cast a spell or 2 or 3. Then you use weapon attacks, that HEAL your MP WHILE buffing your spells for your next cast. Rinse, repeat.
And this system might be better for a blocking build as you will be less careful about your armor resistance. Jut block the hit...you could in theory STAY in dragonlord gear, chaos prime orb the mobs resistances to a favorable set, and just cast spells, heal MP and rinse/repeat all while blocking attacks.
3. War Totem- ( Not sure its obtainable right now) Has potential, but I usually don't carry it in my active inventory. I will break it out on specific monsters, but for I think 490 SP, clicking it damage monster MP and basically acts like an MP siphon. (harm damage) Some mobs with a lot of MP and can really siphon some MP back.
Ever try Summon Mogdin on paralyze mode? Who needs blocking whn they mob never attacks you lol
Btw, I hate boss effects
