Well, considering the current damage formula, for genesis, you need level 30 and 1250 magic attack (or so I heard) in order to 1hit skelegons. Do you think it will be possible to hit that magic number having channeled so much INT into HP?
What's the difference then, of going HP build rather than a LUK build? Mages were already built to have the second highest survivability in the game. The only reason you would want more HP is to survive dispel. However, in the higher levels, dispel shouldn't become a problem anymore.
I know you have experience, I'm not saying that you're not. However, I'm saying that it is impractical, because the gain is minimal yet the loss is by a huge margin. Even recalculating the equipments that you say are not practical to the point where they aren't even decent.
60 HP Spiegelmann
60 HP WG
40 HP Helmet
40 HP cape
100 HP staff (lv 35)
75 HP top
75 HP bottom
75 HP Shield
Thats still a substantial amount of 525 HP. Should be enough for any level. (On my Lv 4x Lukless cleric, I have just over 1000 HP with not even all the HP equips that I mentioned above.) That's enough to survive Alishar, the highest level boss I should be fighting at my level. Heck, in a few levels, when being able to OPQ, I'll be able to survive Papa Pixie and his dispel, which is the highest boss of that level.
With a semi-scrolled spiegel, I'll have enough to Himes when I hit the level (with HB of course), and when I reach 80, I'll be able to Pap MGless assuming the top bombs are maxed.
I don't see the need for going beyond the bonuses that your equips can provide.
