some questions about a strafer

Hello,
well i got some dust on my strafer so she needs to get some use.
Well, i heard strafers are perfect for pit runs, so i got some questions:

-What can i find @ the pits ?
-What gear is good for a pitstrafer ?
-Why pit and not let's say fridge wp ?
-Do i need Mf ?

Hopefully people can answer these questions !

-What can i find @ the pits ?

nearly everything.

-What gear is good for a pitstrafer ?

nearly all gear you can imagine. Pits are quite easy.

-Why pit and not let's say fridge wp ?

because pits can be usefull with low mf. Farming socketables. Shenk and that other one are only interesting with huge mf.

-Do i need Mf ?

That's up to, though think about this, if you're only interested in uniques and sets over time. Would a hammerdin with enigma, shako... not be better? If you run the pits, your interested in everything, mf is totally up to you though don't let it damage your killing speed. Killing things is more important then a few percentages mf. if you're that keen on mf, consider using an other char.

So why run with amazons? With low mf - although some run with higher mf - , they can run just as fast as most other char, though they are much more fun and they can be used to run other alvl 85 while nearly no other char can combine the flexibility with the speed and fun an amazons will give you.

Re: some questions about a strafer

I thought :

Skullder's Ire
Nosferatu's Coil
War Traveler
Lavagout/LoH
Harlequin Crest
The Cat's Eye/Angelic
?????????????/Angelic

i think this is well balanced.. right ? I mean ~200 mf, good ias...
someone else got a better setup ?

Re: some questions about a strafer

you may want to use a bow.

Besides that, if your bow is good, it should work just as good as any other setup.

P.S. dual angelic really isn't needed and you may want to have some cannot be frozen as the monsters there like to use cold attack IIRC.

Re: some questions about a strafer

so maybe dwarf-raven commbo ?
My bow, hmm maybe a nice witch up'd or windforce

Re: some questions about a strafer

I'd go with raven/dualleech; dual raven or perhaps raven/mf. I don't see a reason why dwarf is needed. There aren't many fire monsters.

Re: some questions about a strafer

but a 200 mf is not bad for pit ??

that is totally up to you. I mostly run pit's close to no mf. Now if you keep with the amazon idea, I think 200 mf is about the most you can get. Try finding one of the other bowazon-mf topics and you will find how some other people have done it. I think some even ran around with partial - 3 pieces - tall-set.

Its enough. Try to be fast there and do pits in full games if possible.
Good charms, runes and socketable items drop there too, so main goal is killing speed. Add more mf, if you kill fast enough.

Try to lvl ama enough to get 85-95% change to hit, helps a lot with killing speed.

off:
----
I use 151mf from items and 97mf more from charms. I like to run fast, so items and charms give 91 running speed + vigor. I have also max lightning+absorb and max fire resist too for boss runs.

Re: some questions about a strafer

alright. I have my char up, i do round 2500 damage. Is this kinda low :S ?
Anyway,
I geared up, and run to the wp for pits without problem, only i dont have resistance...
I need a good setup with a good balanced resist/damage/leech. I'm wearing a twitch now so,, well you know it then. I got not to good items but i think i can buy most, except for the expensive runewords like coh ect... so i just need a nice balanced setup !
