To have a decent late-game build, you’ll need to unlock buffs and boosts along the way, as they will amplify the base damage with several modifiers. Applying buffs can happen in different ways, but the ones that unlock with the campaign should be prioritized. Doing so helps you get the boosts and unlock plenty of useful loot, including Uniques.
