How about this— an abyss lock abyss lock killer? Most pvp abyss locks use enigma, but abyss vs abyss doesn't need enigma, it needs bane's armor. Also, snag a magic immune demon if possible. Then your AvA will easily kill their AvE, similar to how a BvB easily slays a BvC or BvE.
Also, your Abyss vs Abyss lock doesn't need max block, elemental res, or physical damage reduction, which an AvE is likely to have. That gives your AvA a huge edge over their AvE.
pretty solid idea tbh

i was also thinking of like a strafe zon with bane armor and horazon gloves/boots with 2x 11 life leech rings (and ofcourse full belt of juvs)
with a razortail belt you'll hit 100% pierce and strafe is pretty disgusting vs anything with summons if u got 100% pierce. and u can reach 95 ias with horazon boots/gloves without needing nosferatu
can throw in a safety shield on swap too for another 10% magic resist (although i think phoenix will just hit harder/leech more)
