Vanguard: This will give you more HP regen and HP. Also block can help you survive longer.
Tarrasque: More HP, more regen.
Halberd: Evasion will help you survive longer. In addition you can disarm enemies which are item dependent.
Hood: Useful against enemy skills.
Radiance: You will have much HP and armor which means enemy will spend more time attacking you which also means enemy will take more damage from radiance.
Basher: Not very necessary but give you more stun and damage.
