she is lvl91 now
i got 156str for spirit monarch and as of tonight 19/-14monarch(4 light facets)
171dex 4 matriachal java(I know with +dex from equip i could have less but this is pvm and id prefer flexability to wear whatever i want without worrying about stats thats also reason for such high str)
rest into vit
skills 1 in every passive valk and pierce and useful and they require 1 in everything hehe, also d/e/a are always good
the rest in light fury+charged strike+synergies in that order
equip im wearing now
eth titans 181/5
spirit monarch(cant wait for my(19/14 1 tonight hehe)
griffons eye 19/11(with 5/-4 facet in)
highlords amu(I need maras

hehe)
ormus robes(this give better damage than coh : but of course i miss the resists )
thundergods vigor
1 dual elach ring with sum mana life and resists
1 manald (i want a bk ring hehe)
waterwalks 64 life
+3 java skills gloves(i want sum with ias but anya aint sellin me any yet hehe)
and i have 6 java skillers only need 1 more
my charged strike atm is about 8k with 10bolts owns hell diablo in 5 hits I found out wen rushing someone today
my light fury is about 3.8k
and hopefully with new shield should break 10k cs and 4k fury
now thats 3 weeks work but im finall getting somewhere with her hehe hopefully that should point you in the right direction since you are fresh back as well
unknown places to find decent tradable items
hell cows great for socketables once you are aware of things like lld items that are valuable you shoul pick up a few ists worth(aditecly not in 1 or two runs though hehe)
hell baal runs scan what is dropped carefully, just today picked up a sup archon plate, this should fetch me a reasonable price when I trade. Also cows are great for charms got myself 3 skillers and a 9/55/27gc 2day alone. While waiting for wome1 to tele to baal kill shenk he dusnt give much amazing stuff but when yo are doing 100 or so baakl ruuns then he will every now and agen give yo a decent drop.
The join games where they actually kill baal and let someone with high mf get last hit and then get fast fingers, bot are neigh on impossible to grab from though
hope this is helpful
