I've fallen deep into the Halls of Torment, and I can't get out. Okay, not really; my runs usually end in defeat, which frees me from the more difficult levels. That said, I've experienced victory, and this has taught me which items and classes to pair together. Items can drastically change a build, so it's important to use the right ones.
