// Additional Notes & Known Issues //
- PoB is removing some equipment on leveling loadouts and assigning random skills as main skill
- swap Fortify for Brutality (bought from Act 4 Petarus and Vanja) after allocating Fortitude in Cruel Lab
- use Frostblink, War Banner, Automation ~ Blood Rage, Cast when Damage Taken ~ Molten Shell when sockets permit
- make sure to transition into low-life and use Petrified Blood before using Bloodthirst as fifth link (recommended to do around Yellow Maps after Uber Lab and 5000+ life)
- vendor 2H Axe + Rare Rustic Sash + Blacksmith's Whetstone for guaranteed weapon upgrade in campaign
- prioritize modifiers that give physical damage, attack speed, move speed, life, and resists
- make sure helmet has higher armor than evasion to get immunity to bleed from armor/evasion mastery
- make sure chest has no life modifier if using life mastery
- use Major Soul of Lunaris and Minor Soul of Ryslatha for the Pantheon
