My fire druid's /p1 Meph hell quest drop turned out better than the /p5 or /p7 quest drops of most of my other characters:
(The roll was 10% cold / 13% light / 10% fire / Nova on the robes.)
He also got a nice rune and belt in an earlier act:
I don't usually keep rare ethereal items, but I liked this one enough to actually equip it and wear it throughout act 2 and most of the way through act 3.
Two other nice drops from some casual runs with previous characters:
Always love it when you post screenies @d2lover, trying to figure out which item it is by context is an excellent mental exercise. (And a great opportunity to practice my admittedly very poor german with something I actually like)
Four Mal drops, 1 Sur, 1 Pul
Zero skillers and runes for the first couple hundred runs and then 5 skillers back to back with only two being sought after.
1x +14 life Passive skiller
1x +22 life Passive skiller
1x plain P Combat GC
1x plain N Summong GC
1x plain B Masteries GC
several 15+ life sc's with 8%+ res
No useful uniques
I am clearly late to the "zerker in the pit" party. Back in the day, I respected one of my barbarians to try it but it felt so unnatural. You know, big man holding two twigs 90% of the time. Getting the key strokes down takes a bit of time as well...
Well, after leveling to hell with frenzy (oaths in 1.07 BB bases--yeah!), I respected to zerker at 78 ish. Spent a little time in the pits, then Pindle, then back to pits. Now I am lvl 84 and eyeing the lvl89 threshold for my crafted ammy stash.
Although zon and sorc are my usual targets, I keep those peripheral ones that roll decent for other classes. Never put one on a barb before because I've done whirlers only and Highlords is tough to beat.
This is what is in my stash for +2 barb skills:

Thinking the last one is the ticket. I can then respect and carry only one twig + HotO. Will be able to throw a couple more points into Shout instead of Find Item.
BTW, pitzerkers are the bomb. Nice whacking things for a change...

Your pick, but i'd go with the Shadow Heart. Not that resistances aren't useful, but MF is what a PitZerker is built for afterall ? Nice two last ones anyway oO
