lvl 9 pvp

I was reading up on a lvl 9 pvp assn guide on diabloii.net. It will be softcore...not a hc fag pker...I was wondering if anyone had any equip/strat suggestions. Also, because it is low lvl dueling, and chars cannnot leech well off of mercs, i will most likely wish to include a merc.

i cannot decide which one to use though

so far im going to be working with
bloodfists/death gloves
death belt
hsarus boots
pelta lunata buckler
greyfoam armor
etheral claws w/ 3 flawed topaz(hella lvl 9 dmage woot woot!!)2 nagels
and undecided ammy

any suggestions? i really just wanna own noobs doin arcane/bloodruns lol
