20 bear
20 maul
20 how (i think thats the ar/damage one)

ravenfrost
manald heal (need mana leach)
nos coil
gloves (what is best for ias)
gore riders?
now for the controversial bit
last wish, i was planing thunder maul but any other ideas about what to make it in are welcome. (i know everyone is going to tell me its too expencive and not to use it but i love it might huge lifetap its and fade)
