for gearing you'd want to pick up anything with spell power. for a leveling weapon, I personally used a Nightforge Stiletto since it was really easy to get for hardcore
(First commenter responding) Ahh so spell power as the focus? I guess i should make a new lamordian weapon then.
Great build but no gear
