Look for guides that emphasize strategy and tactics to help you survive, rather than simply providing a shopping list of "necessary" uber-gear. Once you can comfortably tackle harder areas, you'll find that better gear just starts to drop naturally.

Yah, also dont disregard stuff like slow, holy freeze mercenaries, knockback(for missile weapon users), and items with good chances to cast curses; in most cases it can make a huge difference. Also, if youre a ladder player upgrade your unique weapons and maybe armor to elite(if you can still wear them!)! this should make a sizable difference for weapon users(most elite weapons seem to have something like 50% higher damage than the exceptional versions).
