hey nsx,
I allready look for options to optimise my itembuild. Lets say I have enough strength because of TGods, upped gores and nice MA gloves (have 247str atm, but hey more str = more kickdmg), torch and anni, what do you think about Crown of Ages? I got an 15ias/15@ jool, and a nearly perfect (only def is not max) CoA with 2 sox.
atm I use Gulli or Kira 70, but with this CoA+2 sox I can have +1 Skill, 30fhr, 30@, 15dr AND with 2ias/@ jools 30@ extra + 30ias. With 20ias from gloves i can have 50 .. wohoo and wear perfect metalgrid (I don't like highlord)
Crushing Blow is enough now with Lastwish 70 + upped gores and I try to craft some nice gloves, where also 8-10 cb should be on.
Upped Goblin is little less kickdmg but more CB (lw+gob = 95)
When I can compensate the CoH 65@ to my 29@ Forti with some +5@ charms, I really like to wear it. we'll see. have to use my pocket calculator again
Finding a nice circ is really hard and many of them have stats we don't need like fastercast. +2 is the only thing which is better, but hey Kiras and Gulli don't have any.
I craftet a nice ring for lvl96 with +5%AR, 2ll, 6ml (wohoo), 20STR, lr .. could be 110+ AR instead of +5% and some little more LL, but hey, we have lifetap.

I allready try my luck for a better one.
Still need CTA 5 or 6, got nice eth monarch and socketet spirit in.
I'm lvl 94,5 atm, so 96 is the minimum goal. Maybe I switch her later to rift-sin, cause of more solo pew, CS clearing etc.

Troll another day.
Honestly, I think CoA isn't worthed it mostly due to its really high str req. Altough, it does have good stats for this build and would do a good job if you have alot of +str from gear/inventory.
Having +100ar on a ring will do better than 5% bonus ar. I'd suggest you look for both on a ring and use a 100+ ar ring as temp (or that one).
As for the circlet, you mostly need: +2sin, visio, high res, 2os (bonus: str/dex). That'd be the best helm by far. A circlet without visio would just be a downgrade from guillaume/kiras.
Since +dmg to demons doesn't work with kicks, using fort can be better if you can afford to lose some resists on main gear. Of course, you gotta make up for it with your inventory. Don't forget that you lose the +20str from CoH tho so going for Fort+Coa would be a very bad idea.
