I really agree with what you said on mana and mana regeneration, but I just want to add some more feedback.

Mana, like you said, is pretty much unsustainable with a lot of high leveled linked skills right now. The problem is if the game was changed in a way where mana regeneration is significantly higher, there is no point in getting blood magic anymore. Sure blood magic is a one point wonder for totally eliminating your mana problems, but there is a serious drawback of blood magic which is the fact that you cannot use any auras with your mana bar. If you look at some of the strongest players right now like some of the strongest streamers, they all use blood magic support gem and auras with their mana pool.

Solution :
Make auras cost mana per second instead of reserving mana. (Like arctic armour)

The concept of reserving mana doesn't make much sense when every mana user only cares about having as much mana regeneration as their skill(s) use per second. There is almost no downside in reserving 90% of your mana with auras and leaving the last 10% up, as long as you can cast your spell once and your mana regen is higher than the mana per second of the skill(s). Blood magic would convert the mana per second of auras into health per second.

This change would really promote more build diversity as far as resource management goes. Right now, you either run all auras to keep your mana at a sliver, or no auras and use blood magic. This would make it into much more of a gradient and give mana a better feel. By better feel I mean being able to move up and down because you can actually have 1000 mana(or 3000 mana with EB) instead of having 100/1000 mana with 900 mana reserved. It will be possible to use a build where your mana per second is more than your mana regeneration, but since you have a high mana pool, you can still use this skill quite a few times before going out of mana. There would be a very good diversity of both blood magic and mana regen, and even both blood magic and mana regen combined with the blood magic support gem on some skills or auras and mana regen for the others.

*This would also address how incredibly overpowered inner focus is, because of the emphasis right now of running an insane amount of buffs at once.

*I know clarity would have to be changed somehow, as that aura in particular would not make any sense with this system. Maybe even removed and mana regen rebalanced.

yeah, there is a progression gap between finishing the regular content and being able to do maps without pushing up the daysies on a regular basis, mostly due to lack of proper endgame gear. i also have no idea why there is no easy high level grinding area in sarns. devs always point to cathedral, your solution for connecting it to act2 church would be perfect.

What I was thinking is a new zone appearing after killing Gravicus. I think it makes sense to call it Bridges since the bridge is blocked because of the Blackguard and general Gravicus. Just pop it right between battlefront and barracks. Just a bunch of winding bridges from entrance to entrance.

Make it like level it level 63-64. This to me would be perfect.
