Melee Lifesteal and Spirit Strike are powerful items that help you to all in.
Cold Front and Mystic Burst are another set of extra sources of damage outside of Power Slash.
Enchanter's Emblem gives you all the stats you like.
High-Velocity Rounds into Express Shot amplifies your burst damage.

Fortitude for more health and uptime on the map.
