Generic notes

Damage

• Enhance CC (Critical hit Chance) and CD (Critical hit Damage):
  • Get CC & CD on Glove, Ring and Amulet
  • Get CC on Bracer and Helm
  • Put the biggest Emeralds in weapons for CD. With enough CC, this is superior to Ruby for damages
• Get sockets on Rings and Amulet for Legendary Gems
• Get % [Element] damage on Bracer and Amulet for your damage dealing skill element
• Get % [Skill] damage on Helm & Boot or Belt & Pants for your damage dealing skill
• Put the gems associated to your damage stat (Dexterity, Strength or Intelligence) in Chest and Pants sockets
• Put Diamond (for Cooldown Reduction) or Topaze (for Ressource Cost Reduction) in Helm

Toughness:

• Try to get Armor around 10 x All Resistance
• A bit of Life Regeneration (on hit and / or per second) is good, but you don't necessary need too much.
• Put Diamond gems in Chest and Pants sockets. This is usually superior to Amethyst.
• Put Amethyst in Helm

Enchantress re-rolls:

• The chance of re-rolling a "main" stat (Vitality and you class own damage statistic) is higher than any other stat.
• All Resistance primary and [Element] Resistance secondary are mutually exclusive
• Some stats are grouped: only one of the alternatives can roll on a given item:
  • % [Skill] damage on Helmet, Belt, Pants or Boots
  • % [Element] damage on Amulet, Bracer
  • % chance to [some mouvement debuff] on hit on weapon secondary

Monk

Example builds:

• Wave of Light-RCR
• Wave of Light-CDR

On a given item, you can have either All Resistance as a Primary stat or a single Elemental Resistance (Fire, Ice, Poison, etc.) as a Secondary stat, but not both.

For monks, the Harmony passive entails that All Resistance may be less desirable than Armor for toughness.

For all items, Toughness stands for Armor / All Resistance / Life on hit / Life per second.
