Unexpectedly good gear setups

Not 100% sure this fits here, but anyway

What are some gear setups you've used just to be different, but found them to be actually more effective (or at least more fun) than the norm?

I started a hammerdin in SP recently, and decided to use a helm (2 soc) and gothic plate (4 soc) full of perfect skulls instead of the usual sapphires. It turned out to work VERY nicely. With so much regen, I never had to use any mana potions while I was using that setup. Healing potion use was occasional, but still much lower than normal too.

Re: Unexpectedly good gear setups

Yeah, the 6-7 skull setup is very nice. I used it on a necro, along with frost burns and bahamut rings and amulets, and I was able to continually recast fire golem without too much mana problems (with no insight, since this was 1.09).

That's how I learned that the fire golem explosion damage is constant at 100/100. So I guess you could call that an very bad skill setup.
