Unique bonuses also exist on some legendaries.With that said, a perfect rolled normal jewelry piece can be better than ancient (amulet with socket, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and cooldown reduction doesn't use an ancient stat range). See the kanai's cube section for more detail. The second is that is can be augmented to get even more stats. The first is that your main stat ranges are higher, so it has more Strength and Vitality it does NOT have more cooldown reduction, critical hit damage, etc. Ancient legendaries bring two things that are important to your build. Ancients are just like a regular legendary in function.Use the build suggestions, ask someone if you want to know why a certain item is better for you. Sometimes a “better” item is actually a lot worse for you. Those +damage % and -toughness% numbers don't factor in passives or synergies. Sheet dps doesn't tell the whole story.Getting good gear is important, but it's also important to know what constitutes good gear in diablo 3. This assumes you have most (or all) of a build complete, and you want to be able to progress into the more difficult end game (>GR60, farming TX or higher). I am back with a more complete look at optimizing your gear for end game pushing. Farm Chaos when you can do so efficiently.Perhaps you have seen my new player guide.Increase your damage/survivability without sacrificing MF too much, but kill speed is always more important than MF.Increase your Magic Find (getting to at least 200MF will do wonders).Use Charge to move around quickly, and clear out the nice packs in RoF on the way as RoF is also a Level 85 Area.Īlso assuming you're not hitting the 125fcr breakpoint yet, getting to that after you've got HoTO is a huge uptick in damage, and thus clear speed and survivability. When you're a little tankier, start running Chaos Sanctuary with your hammerdin. Getting a HoTO will really step things up for you too, both in terms of damage, and survivability as I'm assuming your resistances aren't capped out yet.

If you're on PC, and on tomorrow evening, I'll give you one to get you going.

Shako will do wonders for you, especially if you hole punch it and put a P Topaz in it. If you can get your sorc rushed and she can do Meph runs, that will be a good thing to get you started. Running Meph should get you a Shako relatively quickly, but since you're a hammerdin without Enigma, that's not going to be all that effective.
