This makes armor your most important stat, but remember that all forms of damage resist begin gaining diminishing returns( here is a very useful forum post explaining the diminishing returns).įrenzy is used as your primary attack because it synergizes wonderfully with life on hit, giving you a reliable form of sustain. Do not forget that both strength and vitality also contribute to your armor, and remember that armor prevents ALL damage done to your character, not just physical. When searching for equipment all resists is a very reccomended stat along with intelligence. You will be able to solo if you have good resists, armor and health along with sustain through your abilities and life on hit. A helm without a socket is almost worthless UNLESS it has absolutely outstanding stats. No socket means no X%(based on gem quality) increase in life or even %mf if it is a mf helm. Also, when deciding on a helm to use/buy the presence of a socket is a huge deal. 19% is acceptable if the stats are tremendous. I always try to use a shield with at least 20% block chance.

A shield may give you a bunch of new stats, but if its block chance is only 10% then it is not working very well as a shield. When using a shield make sure you look at the %chance to block. Life on hit is important for your weapon! This build requires a 1 handed weapon and a shield.
