Harcore, Budget MF Trapsin- Help?

[TheWretched]

Hello all,

I used to frequent these forums a couple years back, and I just got back into the game. Now, I play hardcore, and I have a few questions about my build.

I just started a trapsin for a safe MFer on a budget, but I didn't really think out the equipment. This is a little early (lvl27, just started act5) but I really don't know what sort of equipment I'll be running mid-end game.

I've been trying to figure out how to balance skills, resists, and mf on a budget and am having trouble. Should I use a shield for some resists? Maybe just two claws, socketed with resist all jewels? What helm will I use (gambled circlet?)? And I haven't even gotten started on the armor(try for skullder's?), boots, jewelry, gloves...

Anyways, I'm looking for some guidance here. Should I just magic find in nightmare until I've got some rare-ish equipment, or is there another way of going about things? As for that, what are good, SAFE places for mf with this build?

Thanks for all the help.

Rest can go into your shadow to make it tougher or something.

Throw on a rare or magic claw with stuff you like, and use an ancients' pledge shield until you can get ahold of a Spirit Monarch and a Bartuc's claw(Socket with a shael so you can run Fade if you need to).

That's pretty much what my trapper used. My first one, anyways. I think she just ran with a Gheed's and a Ptopaz Tarnhelm because that's all I had.
