Gear Overview (Min-Maxed, Budget Options Possible)
- Chest: Atziri's Splendour or high ES alternative (~900 ES achievable for 1 divine in budget)
- Belt: Head Hunter - best-in-slot for mapping

Gameplay Tips
- Freeze enemies with Lunar Assault before finishing with Shred/Cross Slash
- Use Savage Fury + Arctic Howl on bosses only
- Maintain flat regen somewhere on gear to prevent death from degeneration while Chaos Inoculated
- Map clear is smooth thanks to high area of effect + Herald chaining explosions
- Budget players can still run this build effectively; high-end gear mostly enhances speed and efficiency
