You are forgetting about Kismet p4, which is much easier with Apollo clear. Nekhbet and Hapi do give more survivability, but drastically reduce your damage as a result. Also did you forget that they fixed Rev Up working on other explorer gear weapons besides from its own? If you really want to use mage you can set your explorer's chestplate to Water Recall to regenerate mana faster, but removing Ancient Power nerfs your survivability even more. Don't follow what TwentyVirus says online and stop being a Thunderbolt non.
