Gear Tips

•Prioritize item level and primary stat in most cases; do not downgrade heavily just to follow the generic secondary-stat order.
•Use the current talent import for the content you are playing because the recommended hero tree and secondary stats can change by build.
•Sim your own character for final gear, gem, and enchant decisions because secondary-stat values change with your current equipment.
•Recheck the linked 12.0.7 sources after class hotfixes; tuning changes can alter builds without changing the basic priority list.
