joe-momma I'm sure that you are aware that gear doesn't grow on trees and must be farmed and crafted. Anything on my gear that is not shown in this guide was because I failed a craft and that is still the best thing I have. The healing effectiveness is mostly for recovery from maelstrom. It helps keep the bear alive with the eterra's blessing trigger every 12 seconds as well but the bear takes care of itself pretty well with leech on swipe. If you wanted to you could drop all heal effect from the build if you feel confident in only using potions for difficult encounters like T4 bosses.
Maybe something like this would clear a little faster in softcore. Changed idols for damage, gave bear crit chance and flat damage with extra levels, jewelry, and 15 passive points, changed all vitality to strength on gear, swapped ice thorns to eterra's blessing to give bear extra stats 33% of time and help bear survival at higher corruption from being softcore
