Just looking for some tips on how to best reach AR soft caps/breakpoints (if these exist) for melee characters. Currently playing a Frenzy barb and hoping to take it to end game. Other than Steel GC's and items with AR on them (Ravenfrost), how can I stack enough AR to feel like I am consistently hitting (and therefore leaching) monsters as I move through NM and Hell? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Angelics combo is very good and cheap for easy AR.

This.

Going to want to roll with Angelic Ring/Amu as that combo gives too good of an AR boost to pass up. I always drop them once I get Grief though as they’re not really necessary anymore because of the “Ignores Target Defense” modifier on Grief.
