How are you going to farm pits or travincal with low-mid range gear? Even on sc you'll be toast before 2 seconds has passed because you have -50% all resists and 1200 hit points.
Since you're on d2r you can't do quest bugged boss runs as far as i've understood. Just do boss runs. Diablo or baal, they drop the best gear. In each difficulty to build your gear base slowly.
you can do everything except ubber trist with an IK barb. i beat hell with a duress, string of ears, flamebellow, crescent moon legendary sword, ik boots, gravepalm, rockstopper mandal ring. i don't even think i had a raven frost yet. on my mace barb i didnt have the ik set yet i used a bloody tree stump through act 1 hell. i had ik boots helm and gloves, string, raven cathans ring, nokozans relic, duress, passion and honor scourges. might of found a high damage rare scourge before i finished hell. i lvled in the hole and the pit in act 1 with my sword barb so i disagree, at least the actual pit is easier than the later game.
