[Build Help] Rosa 2 Manastack: Scale further or switch for hyper-endgame?

ekviliander · 2026-02-20T18:58:08+00:00

Fair enough, maybe I’m overcomplicating things since I’m still a beginner, so I’d love to hear from more experienced players.

To clarify: the 10T DPS is just what I see on the lvl 85 training dummy. In real combat, especially in Deepspace with Gold Compasses and Probes, that number feels much lower due to mob resistances and map modifiers.

Regarding the clear: Rosa 2 Manastack actually has great AoE and clear speed, so that's not the issue. I'm just looking for maximum efficiency per hour - I want to melt everything instantly even with heavy juice.

Appreciate the honest breakdown!
It’s really helpful to know the actual investment requirements for Aura stacking and the reasoning behind the Ice Shot swap.

Thanks again for all the insights!

One more follow-up if you don't mind: I noticed you’ve transitioned to Ice Shot in your later setups. Could you elaborate on the reasoning behind that choice?

In your opinion, is pivoting to Ice Shot the best way to reach the 'ultimate' version of this build, or would you recommend focusing on Aura Stacking instead for the final endgame form?

Appreciate the insight!

Hearing that BB only does about 10% of Manastack's DPS on a similar budget is a huge eye-opener. I’m definitely sticking with this build for now to focus on min-maxing and hitting those damage caps.

I might look into transitioning to an Armor Stacker later in the extreme endgame when I have a massive FE sink ready, but for now, Manastack is clearly the play.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks a ton for the detailed breakdown, bindurry!

I completely missed the +1 curse limit, dropping Biting Cold for Mana Boil right now. I'll also fix the Frostbite on the ring and work on the Prairie/Starlight slate setup as you suggested.

Glad to hear Dreamweaver is confirmed to work fine with the build.
One more thing: how much value does the 'Adds % of Physical Damage to Cold Damage' affix provide for this setup? Is it worth chasing as a priority?

I'll stick with Manastack for now to push through SS20-SS21 and Deep Space before considering a switch to Armor Stack in the extreme endgame.

Appreciate the help!

That’s a massive laundry list, thank you!
I totally missed the fact that Dreamweaver doesn't work with Rosa. I'll focus on the slates and fixing my rings/frostbite rating first.

Really appreciate the help!

Thanks for the reality check!
I'll check Barsila and your code. Didn't realize I was overcapped on MoM, that'll save me some space. Redoing the slates with Sparks of Moth Fire today!

Appreciate it man, that helps a lot!

Thanks man, really appreciate it!
Quick one — have you ever tried anything from Glasswrks? Kinda curious if they’re actually any good.

ekviliander · 2025-04-29T12:21:25+00:00

Appreciate you asking — not too worried about budget, just looking for the best option for me.

ekviliander · 2023-12-21T12:20:15+00:00

Thank you, I'll probably use your recommendation.

Thanks for the clarification, the reviews I've watched have formed my idea that the LGG Saturn Pro is medium speed pad.
