The Spirit Realm

Currently, I have a magnificent focus item set up. I have every focus I want (except I'm temporarily without a distance focus due to a recent upgrade), I don't have any focuses I don't want (like fire nukes) and no duplicates (please admire the perfection in my Magelo link!)

Sadly, most of my focus items only affect spells for their max power up to 67 or 68. That means, it's almost time to start re-gearing, which sucks because it's going to be a domino effect of replacing focus items, duplicating focus items and being without focus items.

I need some help plotting a focus item course. The most important focus effects (to me) are: mana preservation (best to get a general item or go with detrimental + beneficial?), spell haste and a heal focus (that works til 70 so I can get the best benefit of the ancient heal if I get it).

I need a few goals of really great gear with great focus that I can be planning for. I don't mind long term planning at all! My guild is currently in Inkydo (we beat it once) and doing stuff like RS Queen (beat her once) and MPG trials (well, they're beating us right now). I have 3 anguish signets, but I don't think we'll be there next week

Goals are fine, but tribute can fill in till you reach those goals, and there isn't a lot of farming required to be honest, but to each their own.

Okay, here's my first shot at a plan. If anyone could please tell me if any of these items are just hopeless (too rare, too contested, too infrequently killed) so I can revise my goals, I would appreciate it! (man, that magic focus is a toughie!) Alternate suggestions are welcome. Also, are there any decent wrist slots out there? I don't want to count on ritualchanter since the drops aren't that common.

Dirkin, is that a true alt profile that either won't change or will be kept updated (as opposed to one that changes when you change stuff, because you used 'switch with inventory item' or whatever)?

If so, I'd like to link it in this thread http://crucible.samanna.net/viewtopic.php?t=53 - but not if it gets outdated. I'm having to make a new toon profile, because my 'before raiding' alt profile got messed up when I tributed/destroyed/cashed-in some old gear from my bank. =/

Okay, the profile before was based off of my actual character, meaning it reflected my aa count and adv stone completion %, etc. I made a new one with the exact same gear(except the charm), with max aa and %'s like Brohg's.

Ah... I hadn't really examined it yet, so you busted me.
