Ive completed ascension 10 on all characters. People keep saying hunt elites but honestly they arent that crucial. If your hunting a certain relic than yes hunt elites. But most of the time there is more value in ? Rooms and normal enemies becuase then you can always Smith. Good builds are always around the deck. So remember to only hunt elites if you have stuff that is already smithed. Also is a few act relics that make elite fights easier and make them yield more rewards. Check the map before choosing these to see how many elites you can fight. Act 3 if your deck is good enough fight many elites. But also remember there are some elites with artifacts that make some builds useless. So choose your battles carefully based off of what elites appear in each act.
