dusk enigma
um'd arreats
verdungos?
maras?
travs?
ik gloves?
raven, dwarf, whisp
the items with ?'s I'm not sure on, if anyone could recommend better than my current id appreciate it.
The CB needs to become a Zerker Axe, the Eld in your SS needs to become either a -reqs jewel or some other socket that's better. The Dusk Enigma should prolly be something with a lower str req, same with the IK gloves. Mara's Ammy is more of a caster ammy, I'd work with a highlord's or Cat's Eye or something similar. Gore-Riders should also be considered over travs. Deadly Strike is invaluable. Dwarf Star is okay, but should really be used situationally.
Sounds to me like you failed to plan
. Here's some general tips:
1) Your items that add strength should build. Yours do not. You're not saving yourself any points in strength by wearing IK gloves and Enigma together.
Your strength should be base, and your items should do something like this:
30 base strength + Perfect Annihilius + Ring with 5 strength + Enigma in a Mage Plate + Arreats Face = 133 strength which is enough for a -reqs SS, which will then give you enough to wear a BoTD zerker axe.
2) Deadly Strike is your friend. Even though you have Critical Strike of around 21%, it is still worth it to obtain some DS gear.
And now someone else can finish up where I've left off.
