|---|---|---|
 Reaper Sacrifice |
 ShadowSacrifice |
 BloodSacrifice |
Our main damage sources are Overpower, Critical Strike, and raw Damage multipliers. The best multipliers we can obtain from our Book of the Dead would be sacrificing warrior Skirmishers, Bone mages, and Iron golems.
Skirmisher would increase our Critical Strike Chance, with our Aspects, this would be almost a 40% increase to crit chance. Bone Mage would straight up increase our Overpower damage and lastly, Iron would multiply our Critical Strike damage even further..

| Weapon | Armor | Accessory |
|---|---|---|
 Amethyst
|
 Topaz
|
 Diamond
|
The best Gems to slot in for the Belial's Eye Beam build are Topazes for Armor pieces to pump your damage vai Intelligence while slotting in Amethyst to amplify your shadow damage for Belial's Eye Beam. For accessories, resistances and armor are great so it would be either diamonds or skull depending on your gear rolls.

As you'll be chugging potions a lot to activate Belial's beams, Yax and Lum are great combos to lower your cooldowns while Zec and Bam will allow you to spam Soulrift the faster you walk in the map (which happens frequently as your beams will be your main DPS).
