Gear
Armour should be the armor/evasion type or a mix. Need higher Elemental Resistances from gear as they are not in passives. Probably want the chaos potion (amethyst) on standby. And want high physical damage bonus on weapons with fire elemental damage.
Guide
Played this to 40 so far, passives are partially untested. Can focus on 2Hand Sword or duel wielding, either should work (and is just swapping cleave with reave). Basic rotation is Charge > Bleed > Fear repeat. Dont need fire damage in Fear skill set if the weapon(s) have fire damage. Poison is for rare/elite/boss mobs, multistrike is quick and stacks the poison! On bosses its Charge > Poison > Bleed, run around a bit. I actually auto attack a lot with this build to make the fights last longer
