These items are to max the damage and not really care about survivability.

All the items are above are the "GO TO ITEMS" if you wanna play 4man DPS'er / BossKiller.

Can't add ANY other items that headslot items for now.

Will tune back in and update the gear needed once the website gets it's shit together.

This guide is basically assuming you're paragon 800 or more.

If you are not, then just follow the priority order from top to bottom.

Cooldown reduction maxed is because you really don't want to run

around without Vengeance Dark Heart up.
