For all heroes. You must have gear with engraving slots for some of the below enhancements.

1)Life leech is very important in the game. Every time you hit a monster and do damage, a percent of that damage comes back to you as hp. The bigger the damage, the bigger the hp you get every single hit. Thousands of damage, thousands the hp reviving fully the hero. You will need 8 to 10 percent of life leech to be safe everywhere in the game. Use 2 Basilsk Scales(immortal) in your weapons and you will get that much life leech. Heroes that have passive skill of life leech, must max them out and use 1 Basilisk Scale to reach the percent.\
2)Unfortunately you must use all 8 armor decoration slots for all elemental resistance. Monsters in Torment Difficulty are very cruel to all kinds of Elemental magics so you will need as much as you can get. That means 8 Astral Diamonds(beyond). Heroes that been given passive all elemental resistances can use lees material. We must reach 150-160 all elemental resistance(or a little more).\
3)As written above you will need great chaos magic resistances, which is the worst one, usable by Act Bosses and many monsters at an increased cruelty with the increase of difficulty. So if we use almost all decoration armor slots all is left is armor engraving, Here we use 3 or 4 Void Ichor(beyond). here also we must reach over 150-160 chaos resistances. There are less rare materials to increase chaos resistance and those are, as lot as, Nightshade Extracts or Skulls(both legendary).\
4) If you use the beyond material for number 3 you probably left some engraving armor slots. So you can use some Griffin beaks(arcana) to max hp percentage. These will increase your base hp(iand added max hp by material and gear).\
5)I advise, all the accessories decoration slots to be used by 8 Void Opal(beyond) to max your hp. On the engraving slots you can use 3-4 Minotaur Horn(arcana) to improve your cooldown reduction and area of effect(2 cooldown reductions will be enough and you may not need area of effect). If you want more max hp you can use Titan Marrow(beyond) to the spare engraving slots.

Many say that if we clear stages too fast we get a lot of chests and items. It is true, but Google AI writes that if we clear stages very fast, we get many items, but crappy items, because there is a cooldown time of the chest drops and if the game dont have enough time to synchronize with that, then the result is crappy items. So get it somewhere in the middle. I think that a clear time around 250 seconds can do the trick and the stages you clear must be over 2-9 torment(to get max level items, now with plaguelands). But i choose 3-1 torment(for fast, syncronicity,best and many gear and material).
