PURGE EVIL
Yes of course, if you scroll to the bottom you’ll notice I have a section in each build for Act 1, 2, and 3 for Gear. I wanted to knock the build parts out of the way and then come back and do gear, since that takes longer. What you’re seeing is not the final product! Once I’ve got all the information in each build, I plan to update them even further to just make them look nicer with little icons for spells and things of that nature
Gray Jacobsen
Are you planning on updating these to include the gear that is necessary for the build? I know it's in the video, but that kinda defeats the purpose of a written guide. Also, is there any chance you might consider including earlier game gear options? After checking the video it seems like most of the gear for this build (and I assume others) comes from Act Three.
