All this MFO talk (and the council not having dropped anything nice in a few weeks) has me wanting to put together a runner of some kind that I can chill with, but I don't really know either what area I should run (getting some TC87s would be nice, but I don't really need anything besides runes) or what I should build for it.
Ideally, whatever I make is going to not overlap in gear with my trav blizzsorc, but that's probably an unrealistic stipulation since I only have one Infinity and one Chamed Shako.
What's the play here? And how long does it take to roll a decent AT or Pit map?
Edit: I did some theorycrafting and research and experimentation.
Gearing a lightsorc for Baal with Crescent Moon mainhanded over HotO with Vipermagi to keep the 120 FCR breakpoint seemed to kill quite quickly (although I didn't get around to doing a comparison between the two), but the lack of resistance was bothersome. Maxing fire and lightning resists took ten inventory slots after the rest of the gear in place of the ten mana/life small charms I had been using in the matriarch item build. While ~750ish mana after BO was enough to kill p8 Baal waves, it was very annoying having to drink and pick up mana potions between each one and I can't imagine doing it over thousands of runs.
A pit necro seems like it could be fun, but one thing that I'm interested in some feedback about is the shield slot. Looking up writeups, I'm seeing mostly FCR (Spirit and some mentions of Darkforce Spawn); is the lack of max block not an issue dealing with really dangerous situations like Fanaticism archer packs?
Any other builds I should consider? I'm also looking into trying AT with a blizzsorc and putting a javazon together for... something.
