1. ✨ Skill Tree: Optimizing Conviction Generation and Enhancing Survivability
· The method for generating Conviction has been changed compared to the previous leveling and Torment 7 setup.
· With Conviction generation optimized through itemization, there's no longer a need to use Holy Bolt or Rallying Cry for Conviction.
· Increased the level of the Resistance Aura and used Consecration instead of Holy Bolt for additional survivability.
· Use the Smite skill to pull in ranged monsters, applying Weakened and Vulnerable.
· If Conviction generation is still not smooth, it's recommended to use Holy Bolt with Rallying Cry temporarily and then change it later.
· If you are short on skill points, check your Season Journey rewards. It's recommended to invest in Blessed Hammer, Judgement, Fanaticism Aura, and Resistance Aura in that order.
· The provided setup is a guideline, and you can freely change it to suit your playstyle.

2. 💎 Item Setup: In-depth Analysis of Core Stats and Aspects

5. 🚀 Final Goal and Future Play Direction
· With the current setup, clearing Nightmare Dungeon level 100 is possible. It performs strongly even without 'Echo of Tyrael's Might' equipped and with some stats not yet optimized.
· By equipping 'Echo of Tyrael's Might' and upgrading gear with 3 perfect rolls in the future, it's expected to be possible to farm Nightmare Dungeon levels 110-120.
· After level 70, it's recommended to progress through 'Tiriel's War Plan', farm, hunt Ouribar for 'Herald of the Dawn', and gather 'Soul of the Overlord' keys to aim for Mythic items.
· I'm enjoying the gameplay within the endless farming loop and am considering switching to an Odyn or Whirlwind Barbarian in the future.
· For setups beyond level 100, it's best to refer to the builds of top-ranked players on the Hall of Fame leaderboards.
