Gear

Full armour gear with at least one 4 link for main attack.

High dps fast if possible 2 h weapon.

Guide

This worked really well through normal and totally destroyed Oranges with little difficulty with proper gearing. I was able to maintain max elemental resistances, fairly high armour, and significant dps ( though I had uniques, yellows actually started to out dps them in the 30's). A few fights were harder when accuracy was low. Dominus was a non issue.
Next up, cruel
