Hellfire Amulet 5. passive: Hot Pursuit & for hardcore players -> Awareness for 2.death

Gem option: You can use Trapped gem & Gogok,instead of Zeis Stone gem,if you like.But i prefer the 3 gems above.

Danetta's weapon: use 2 set Danetta's.Your vault will cost 8 hatred,instead of discipline.In combination with Vengeance(Seethe rune).You can vault near permanent to the boss.If you need more hatred,then put points in hatred by paragon attribution.

Cube Armor: You can use many variation here.I like Leorics crown for more cdr.Use the item which fit best to your build.Like for cold variation use Frostburn gloves for extra cold % dmg & freeze.For defefensive variant use Aquilaras chest/Visage of Gunes helm for Dark Heart rune....

Traveler 2 Set + Soj/Unity ring is an option too.
