Gear

Overview

- Your main stat for DPS will be the flat physical damage on rings & amulet

- Considering you always have 5/6 endurance charges, you only need 85/89% resistances to reach the overcap

- The Word of Light enchant on the facebreakers is really important, since it gives 6% life regen when you take a critical. You can farm it in normal lab, since the regen value is the same for every lab level

- The 2% regen when hit enchant on boots is important. Uber lab only since the value decreases on lower lab versions.

- The +1 Endurance Charge Meginord's Girdle is important, but a good stygian vise can be used for more dps and life:)

- Feel free to use your own flasks setup

 

Farming

  •  Use bloodrage only once, on the first pack
  •  Use enduring cry only once, on the first pack, to get some charges
  •  Shield charge into pack
  •  You will get free Endurance charges when you block thanks to the shaper mod Gain an endurance, frenzy or power charge when you block
  •  Ice crash
  •  Repeat


Bosses

  • - Refresh bloodrage manually when down if no mobs to kill nearby (or not, but you lose some DPS)
  • - Refresh enduring charges manually if the boss is not hitting you enough to maintain it
  • - Refresh fortify with Shield charge
  • - Use consecrated path if you need extra regen
  • - Ice crash
  • - Repeat

Stat priorities

Leveling Guide (simple)

Level 1 - 10

- Use Ground slam + Ruthless + Maim

Level 10 - 18

Gorebreaker + Gorebreaker

Level 18 - 28

- Start using Facebreaker gloves + any shield, and get a 4 link Shield Charge + Melee Physical + Added Fire + Faster attacks until you get ice crash

Level 28+

- You can start using Ice crash, see the gems links above. You can use the following uniques to improve your DPS

- Try to get rings & amulet with flat physical damage and high resists. Forget about life for now, such rings are really expensives, they are more affordable without life on it.
