Gear, Uniques, & Aspects
Uniques (4):
- Airdrop's Predation (Helm): Massive 60% multiplicative damage increase. Prioritize Crit Chance, Lucky Hit, and Movement Speed rolls.
- Kilt of the Blackwing (Pants): BUILD-ENABLING. Ravens deal massively increased damage. Shapeshifting or activating a Companion skill summons Ravens.
- Flickerstep (Boots): Evading through enemies reduces Ultimate cooldown, allowing near-constant Grizzly Rage.
- Razing Shroud of Diablo 4 Gold False Death (Chest): +1 to All Passives. The All Stats roll helps activate Paragon secondary effects.

Legendary Aspects (Crucial):
Two-Handed Weapon: Aspect of the Unsatiated - Casting a Companion skill has an 80% chance to activate another equipped Companion skill and reduce its cooldown. This constantly resets your Ravens.
Amulet: Aspect of the Wildrage - Companion skills deal increased damage per active companion. This is your biggest damage multiplier.
Rings/Gloves: Aspect of the Changeling's Debt (deal more poison damage while shapeshifted), Dire Wolf's Aspect (Crit Strikes in Grizzly Rage increase damage up to 120%), Stormshifter's Aspect (Ravens deal Lightning damage, active deals full damage in half the time and stuns).
Stat Priorities on Gear:
Crit Chance: Aim for ~90-100% from gear (Gloves, Rings, Helm).
