nothing more to add...besides...stop trying to improve her-start to enjoy her

Im not a collector and while I have other characters, I really only play bowa :-) MLD PvP euro tournaments that I have hosted in recent years ->
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=55053232&f=143&o=0#p367617396I'll see if can arrange a repost at some point in the future to show previous gear used etc. I used what I had and upgraded when I could/when a new item became available. its only really in the last 12-18 months that I have managed to make leaps and bounds in terms of gear, mainly due to the items becoming available. My start-up gear was pretty welfare and I went from there.
Items which beat mine rarely come on the market for trade so its becoming harder and harder to improve.
I originally used a 3psm/30frw 2o/s circ. I have not seen a better one on europe to what I currently use, although I have heard that there is 1 better. Alongcomesmary has one very similar to mine (but 4repl life). mine is possibly no.1 or no.2 across realms.
I originally used some pretty crap amulets ^___^' I used saracens and ctc bow for a good while before using a 3/100. when I bought Fiend Harp, the rare amulet blood necklace, came with it (nice). the craft amulets i picked up recently - and i put both of them onto share share amazons as I dont rate them as highly as the rare. east i believe has the best amulet (duped amulet).
I went from goldstrike! to a cruel shadow bow of eviseration and a cruel matri of eviseration to a ctc amp bow ("flecki bow") and after that it was fiend harp. I picked up the 2nd ctc bow from a m8 who quit. I have not seen a better shadow bow for mld on any realm.
I went through 3 previous stygian pilums before settling for both the matri's and the stygians (i use both). I think these are the no.1 and no.2 javs for mld and not far off #1 / #2 for hld (europe). I didnt bother comparing @ hld across realms, but I have not seen stygians on any other realm with 40IAS. someone can correct me on this. Ignoring what alot of people say, The stygians are simply better, but yes, the matri's do consistent average damage.
It took me a long time to get a dusk 100 life, always overpriced:X. I went from Full Plate 8x to dusk 8x to dusk 9x then dusk 98 and finally dusk 100.
Overall string of ears is the best belt. There is one craft belt on the realm that I am still trying to get from a m8 10OW 80 life, 30 cold res 30 fire res etc. i'll ask my m8 again at christmas eh hehe
I have gone through many rings and gloves. I have been told that there is 1 better pair of gloves @ europe and 1 better ring cross realms.
wt's were my base boots forever and i upgraded to st's some time ago. i play alot of TvT hence ST's just work better.
i'll try to do a comparison next time i guess.
