Best Ring Items in Halls of Torment
Rings in Halls of Torment are kinda difficult to sort by their power because there are so many good ones. However, they have different applications for different characters, so if you agree with me, I would list them alphabetically and point out which characters make the best use of them. You have two ring slots, so you can combine them.

Best Chest Items in Halls of Torment
With Chest Items in Halls of Torment, a similar doctrine can be applied as with the Rings. However, two specific Chest pieces pop up as items that I almost always use.
Let’s face it, if you don’t want to use a tank item in the Chest slot, you are bound to use one of these two. Hunter’s Garb provides a significant damage boost, and Blood-Soaked Shirt provides quite a stable lifesteal. If my numbers aren’t wrong, for every 10,000 kills in the game, you should get back 300 HP. It’s not bad! Now, to move on to the rest of the items for the Chest slot:
Block Strength Chest Items
I gave an advantage to Blazing Shell because you do not need to move to gain bonuses. Plate Armor is just Blazing Shell minus the cool burn effect. Remember Blazing Shell when you try to get the Shield Bash damageachievement with Shield Maiden.
Defense Chest Items
I personally find the 30 Defense more valuable in “clutch” “do or die” situations.

Best Feet Items in Halls of Torment
With boots, there definitely is reason to discuss each and every item from the angle of which character they work on best. That’s why, once again, I’ll sort them alphabetically. And for the record, I will confirm thatI favored the Runner Shoesbecause +15% Movement Speed was truly something I appreciated. Maneuverability is always a nice way to get out of hairy situations. I will admit that I used a lot of other boots for specific achievements and setups, though, but generally, Runner Shoes take the cake.
