Quick tip: Don't bother with 2H weapons unless it's The Furnace, not even a godly Maximus. A decent Sunkeeper + Firebird's Eye + Magefist will do more damage to Elites than any 2H with the only exception of The Furnace. Trash melts anyway, so who cares if u do more damage to trash. Also, don't go with Cindercoat. Magefist is a better option since u get 1 more attribute and u dont lose toughness.

Did a few tests and nothing but a Furnace beats Sunkeeper + Firebird's Eye + Magefist. A bad Furnace will beat this combo anytime.
