Go for crit, dodge, max hp and armor. Maybe upgrade elemental damage more to get screen filling explosions. Get top items and full nuclears. Also upgrade lifesteal to 7 minimal. Also get the item that trasfers your elemental dmg to engeneering while also keeping it, if you get a lot of explosive turrets it will help a lot.
