Second, I'd like to acknowledge that I was very, very lucky to have actually won Baal category
My guy is more than slightly out-of-place here...he's really not an MF'er at all, he's my 99-runner, and in his normal gear, he sports an awesome 30-40MF! I was running Baal for XP anyway, and figured the MFO would be good motivation...it turned out to be AWESOME motivation!
Now, my guy is a pretty unusual choice for a 99-runner: he's an Avenger pally... Further, his gear, save for his helm and switch gear, is all crafted items! I've spent over a year and crafted literally thousands of items assembling his panoply...and am quite happy with the result! However, except for one of his rings as a teaser, I'm NOT gonna show off all his stuff today...I think it deserves its own thread, which I'll do when he hits 99...which hopefully won't be too much longer, after the MFO, he 'only' needs another 95 million XP!!! (and he still has Ancients...I love 1.07... )
So, I present Spatha_Lux (psuedo-Latin for "Sword of Light"):

I played for about ** hours (thankfully, last week was very slow at work!!), not sure how many runs, but I'd guess a bit more than 1000 from XP gained. I think I was very lucky with drops, all the moreso because I had no long, long periods where nothing dropped like several people did...every day saw improvement to my top 5, which helped keep up the motivation.
Spatha is not a fast runner...he has no teleport, and sometimes gets hung up in WSK2&3, which is why I also entered him in alvl85 category (Hey, if you have to kill mobs anyway, might as well, right?) On the other hand, NOTHING slows him down for long...a good way to describe him might be inexorable... He is a real brick, able to tank enormous amounts of damage, while dishing out the same...
One thing that helps enormously in that regard is his CTA...I found the base several months ago, and finally got around to forwarding some 1.07 HF rushees to 1.10s to collect their hell hellforges, and rolled this beauty:
After getting that, I felt more than safe enough to swap out a little gear to get some MF...I swapped his crafted armor for a 1.07 Skullder's Ire and replaced his mindamage SCs with MF SCs, boosting MF to 245, 255 on switch.
