For me, it's been Trav+Chaos+Frigid.
I've found Bers, Surs, etc within the first couple days.
Now I've added in a 2nd account(cause I can) and made a BO barb cause I'm too cheap to CTA this early in the ladder.
Purpose of the BO barb for me is to use Find Item(maxed Potion Find or w/e) and gives me a chance to get runes.
I've horked out Tal Rashas armor/amulet/low-mid-high runes.
Rather sell HIGH and buy LOW in 2-3-4-5 weeks. But everyone plays differently, I'm content without teleport atm. And even then I have a Naj staff on switch IF I really really want to teleport.
My 1 ber+2 surs I've solo found and sold within first 3 days will easily gear a top spec end game character in 4-5 weeks.
YMMV.
I'm done with this ladder season, most of the FG to be made is from high ticket items like warlock torches, eth 4os thunder mauls, HR's, list goes on. You can nickel and dime but for me anything trade under 100 is depressing.
I chase the bigger ticket items, and those bigger ticket items(like ber/jah/etc) will be reduced to 50fg because of the botters sooner than later. We all know who the botters/sellers are... they have 10-50x of any item like unid shako, or whatever def, whatever you can think of they probably have it lol.
