Personally, I would recommend a PB lawmaker and CS Cresent Moon for the fair duel. Crown of thieves helm for good defense and maybe even ethereal shaftstop.

You could swap out crown of thieves for Rasha Rasha mask.

So Weapons I have..

I also have a Andariels.. Which I'm trying to sell, maybe I'll try the taps mask.. Eth Shaftstop would be crazy expensive no?

A2 with insight and treachery with even just tal mask can't survive?

Grief if you want higher physical dmg
Lawbringer if you want to have decrep and Sanctuary (either Decrep or Life Tap is on for safety, yes I'm on HC)
Azurewrath if you don't want decrep but need Sanctuary
Voice of Reason for slowing minions and CBF
Mania if you want fanat
Last Wish if you are super rich
Djinn Slayer or Lightsabre if you want Lightning Absorb
Plague for Cleansing
Kingslayer for CB and OW

I love Arreats on him. As for armor, I normally use Treachery. If you do Uber Ancient, then I recommend Guardian Angel + Protector's Stone.
