With this Season's addition of a 4th slot in Kanai's Cube as a theme, your ideal setup will be:

• Kanai's Cube 4th Slot: The Furnace

The former Season 28 theme, the Altar of Rites, has been revised and re-added to Diablo 3 as a permanent character progression mechanic. — For virtually all builds and players of all skill levels — from casual to advanced — we recommend progressing through the Altar tree using the path outlined below. The suggested path is geared towards maximum quality of life first, then amplifying damage, and then mopping up the tree with defensive and edge case utility nodes.

Note that while they require reaching them with a Seal, Legendary Potion Powers are not part of the Seal cost system; Potions unlock with a separate resource called Primordial Ashes, obtained from salvaging Legendary or Set items of Primal (red bordered) quality. Upgrade them as soon as possible, and in the order shown below (courtesy of Caleko's Altar of Rites planner).

You can read more on the Altar of Rites, Seals and Legendary Potion Powers in our dedicated Altar of Rites Mechanics guide.

• Legendary Gem 1: Bane of the Trapped
• Legendary Gem 2: Enforcer
• Legendary Gem 3: Bane of the Stricken

• Weapon Slot: Frydehr's Wrath
• Armor Slot: Tasker and Theo
• Jewelry Slot: Ring of Royal Grandeur
• 4th Slot (Season 33): The Furnace
