In Nightmare and Hell, you won’t have to worry quite as much about stacking resists, vitality etc as you will in Inferno Mode. In these lesser difficulties, the main idea is to simply move through the content as quickly as possible so that you’re able to begin Inferno, which is where the real challenge begins.

In this section, I’ll be showing you the basics of a Nightmare/Hell build that I believe will give you great mobility, high DPS and also be a great deal of fun to play.

Let’s start by taking a look at which stats you should be stacking.

Stat Priorities

Intelligence
Vitality
Experience

Since your main focus in these difficulties modes is leveling speed and high DPS, focus mainly on stacking a ton of intelligence (as well as + damage obviously) and a bit of vitality for survival. With the build I’m about to show you, the idea is to run around blowing things up as fast as possible, so the more damage the better.

Of course, you’ll want to stack a bit of bonus XP whenever you can get it, specifically in the gem slot of your helm.

Let’s check out the build.
