Best melee gear for endgame?

[DrakHar]

So, I've been away for about 2-3 year, I came back a month or so ago. Getting some ETRs, etc... been running slaver content, not sure what the current best sort of set up is for a melee. What slots should I be trying to make? Should I use the stuff that drops or craft all my own? What about legendary shroud equipment? Weapons?

I do TR into different builds, but I am generally a TWF khopesh fighter, usually unarmored, sometimes light (depending if I rogue or monk splash). I have both of the helms from legendary slave lords, legendary symbol of the slave lords, and the legendary slave master's cloak. I have assorted five rings, chains, collars, and not quite enough ingredients to craft my own yet.

Basically, I am wearing the stuff I found, but I just don't want to waste the ingredients making stuff in the wrong slot. I assume there are some legendary shroud items I will want as well (I haven't touched that raid yet, though).

This was my set up for my pure Tempest Ranger. I avoided Legendary Shroud - just my preference. Cannith Crafting is very good, especially if you have, or can find, old items with 2 augment slots.
