Where can I improve my gear?

[Cutwolf]

HoZ Shield
Shako
Enigma
Seraphs
Wartravs (also have Sandstorm)
HOTO
Dwarf Star
Raven Frost
IK Belt

Where should I focus most on improving? Which would be the best item in that category to attempt to acquire?

Build/purpose? If mf hammerdin use soj + bk or mf rings since you don't need sorb. Maras>seraph if you can afford it. Goldwrap/spider > ik belt

I actually just got a Maras (26 resist) in a solo meph run. Also have Goldwrap and Arachnid.

I'll look for BK. Thanks!

Any other suggestions?

You don't have enough FCR, even with Trang or Magefist gloves (you didn't say BTW). I'll assume you have one of those, so you have just 60% FCR. You need at least 75% for nice kill speed. If you can only afford to change one item, get an Arachnid Mesh Belt (+1 skills and 20% FCR is huge).

Since you can teleport, CBF from the Raven is not that important, so you could replace both rings with nice rares with 10% FCR, +Dex/Life/Resists and free up your gloves to use Chancies for MF and GF.

One last option would be to get your hand on a nice Pally Spirit shield with 35% FCR and good resists (not cheap). That would allow you to hit the 75% breakpoint with just the HoTo and shield. You could get another 130% MF and 280% GF from perfect Chancies+2xNagels+Goldwrap. This would require a little sacrifice on defense and stats to maximize MF.

IMO 48 FCR is enough for mfing/pvm just make sure you have 48 FHR so vipers don't stunlock you

I have 80% FCR - Magefist, HOTO, Arachnid. Of course, that drops drastically (to 40%) when I switch to my killing blow set up (dual isted ali baba + pdiamond stormshield), but they're pretty much dead by then.

Normally with my HOTO and HoZ equipped, I have 389% mf (40% gheeds, 20 7% small charms that took a buttload to acquire); when I switch to the killing blow weapon I have 535.

Is it worth sacrificing anything to get higher MF? I have maxed resists, 10k hammer damage, 1700 life, 9,600 defense (14,800 or so if my defiance merc decides to not be lazy). What should I sacrifice, if anything? Isn't there diminishing returns once you get up to the point I'm at in MF anyway?

Oh yeah, and I did have an SOJ, Maras, and Arachnid so I upgraded to them. I also traded for BK so I'm wearing all of those suggestions.
