i definitely have done my fair share of runs ...but i wouldn't say it's tons of them. the other night when i lucked out with the Sur and Ber runes, i probably did about 30 trav runs. ya gotta make them really quick runs to be worth it ...just blow through them. the other times i found them, i was just farting around doing random runs, like in the pit, or a baal run, etc. just lucked out ...weird how its been Sur so often tho eh? heh ...5 of them ...and found 1 Ber, 1 Gul, 1 Ist, 2 Mal and a few Um, Pul, Lem runes.
the Zon i was using for the trav runs was around level 91 and a pure Strafe build. maxed out Strafe, Valkyrie, Pierce, Penetrate ...using the following gear:
-upgraded Witchwild String with 2 shael runes as my main bow. (i love the Amp damage on it, the 40 to all resists, 2 sockets, and Deadly Strike per level ...so you don't need any more than one point into the Amazon critical strike skill. it also has level 20 magic arrow as its default attack, which can blow thru physical immunes ...the Amp damage also helps with physical immunes)
-Harmony runeword Shadow Bow on switch (just for the Vigor aura and extra Valkyrie level buff)
-Cats Eye ammy
-rare Coronet for the helm with +2 Amazon skills, 7 mana leech, 33 all resists (69 to lightning - there is an Um rune in it), 75% less poison duration.
-War Traveler boots ...only 30 something percent magic find on them, just mainly wanted them for the extra damage boost.
-Fortitude archon plate for the chest armor. gives 300% enhanced damage, which helps with the bow i'm using.
-Nosferatu Coil belt ...for the extra strength, speed, and 7 life leech.
-Laying of Hands gloves ...for the 350% extra damage to demons and 20% increased speed, and big fire resists.
-Raven Frost ring
-Nature's Peace ring (i do a lot of Baal runs, so this helps keep things dead ...since there's lots of those guys that resurrect monsters around those parts)
i have 90 increase attack speed (40 on bow, 20 on ammy, 20 on gloves, 10 on belt) ...so with the Witchy bow, i get max Strafe speed and Amp damage goes off quite a bit, which melts eveything.
i have a 2nd Bowazon that uses Windforce and a Wrath Matriarchal +3skill bow on switch. also using a Fortitude archon plate on that zon to help with the damage of the Wrath bow. the Wrath has 30% chance to Decrepify on hit and 5% chance for Life tap ...with other cool stuff. pretty cool bow. my main skills on that zon is Strafe, Freezing Arrow. using Andariel's Visage helm, Highlords Wrath ammy, Razortail belt, Laying of Hands gloves, Ravenfrost ring, and a rare ring with 6mana leech and 15 strength, around 25 to fire resists on it and some other stuff. War Trav boots for the extra damage.
gonna do a Javazon next ...just need a decent Titans Revenge. i have a Chains of Honor in an archon plate waiting for that one to use.
sorry for the wall of text.
