Helmet

Rare Helmet

Look for rare helmet with at least 90 life and as much resistance as you can find.

Any resistance or attribute mods are good bonuses.

Boots

Rare Boots

Look for rare boots with at least 80 to maximum life, 30% increased movement speed and some resistance.

Craft Aspect of The Spider on the boots.

Left Ring

Circle of Anguish

At the endgame, we should look for Circle of Anguish with following mods:

1) x% increased Fire Damage while affected by Herald of Ash
2) Herald of Ash has x% increased Buff Effect

Before you can afford one with both of these mods, use one with increased fire damage mod and random second mod.

Right Ring

Rare Ring with Assassin's mark on hit

Look for rare ring with “Trigger Level x Assassin’s Mark when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy and have no Mark” mod.

Other good mods would be life, dexterity or intelligence.

Amulet

Look for rare turquoise amulet with adds x-x physical damage to attacks mod as well as at least 30% to global critical strike multiplier.

High life would be an amazing additional mod.

Belt

Bear's Girdle

Not a cheap, but really good belt for the build.
If you can afford it, get it, if not, use rare Stygian vise with high life and resistances.

1Hand Weapon

Rare 1-handed Sword

Look for a rare 1-handed sword with as much pDPS as you can get. Ideally, we should be looking at swords with at least 370 pDPS.

High local critical strike chance is also important, so take it into consideration when buying/crafting your weapon.

Offhand

Redblade Banner

Redblade Banner is one of the core items of the build, so focus on getting it as soon as you can. This shield basically makes our warcry setup work, which in turn helps with rage generation and rage vortex.
