Just a curiosity (actually 2).
Wouldn't have been better to go full phase before?
You would have kept 0.69 prof factor with ~60 EDB more (still worse than you current setup but maybe better than 1 prof factor?).
If I wear Peerless phase shoes instead of Legendary cotton shoes, a real damage against high-mit monsters will decrease.
current (legendary cotton shoes)magic score = 28887
prof factor = 0.697
mit reduction = 0.291 (+0.4 imperil)
real damage vs monster
vs mit 60% = 24804
vs mit 65% = 24804
vs mit 70% = 24557
vs mit 75% = 23337
peerless phase shoesmagic score = 32680
prof factor = 0.429
mit reduction = 0.141 (+0.4 imperil)
real damage vs monster
vs mit 60% = 25560
vs mit 65% = 24200
vs mit 70% = 22840
vs mit 75% = 21490

And do high level elem mage have mana problems? (since you kept eco 2).

I'm trying to play without economizer and can barely sustain the mana level in long battles like GF without frequent gems\riddlemasters even with aether shards. I've started to use elixirs which were needlessly piling up when I had eco 5. Plus, it's more stressful, you have to watch your mana more closely and gulp down potions almost as soon as their cooldown ends.
Granted, my gear is nowhere near as good, so maybe it's different when you have a much higher magic score. (IMG:[

I didn't have any problem when I used Eco 5 staff.
Now using Eco 2 one, sometimes MP goes under 30% of maximum before a cooldown of Mana Potion expires.
(However I haven't used Mana Elixir yet.)
Penetrator is the best for all staves and at least Economizer 2 is necessary for elemental mages who don't want to use Mana Elixir and Aether Shard.
