This little post here is presuming that you're ladder. For the items.
MF in Hell, if you can handle it well, doing any or all of these bosses:
Andariel
the Countess
Mephisto
Travincal and the Council in Travincal
Thresh Socket (before the crystalline passage in act 5 i believe)
Eldritch (at the first waypoint in act 5)
Shenk (also near the first waypoint in act 5)
Pindleskin (red portal that you get in Harrogath after rescuing Anya)
If you do those bosses, you're more likely to get good items from MF'ing. The thing is that you might not find items right away, and become frustrated, which is common. Repetition, repetition, repetition. That's the only way to get items.
Get a mercenary from Act 2, in Nightmare mode, with the defensive skills. This mercenary, besides employing the Jab technique, gives an aura of Holy Freeze, which slows down enemies and makes them infinitely easier targets for your orbs. Use an ethereal Andariel's Visage helmet, an Insight (runeword with meditation aura for mana regeneration) polearm, and a Fortitude runeword in an ethereal archon plate with the best defense you can get. I'm sure that you will also get some differing opinions after mine. As for me, I use an ethereal Crown of Thieves for the life leech, and an ethereal Stone runeword with 3 thousand defense. I hope I've helped you a ton, and HAVE FUN MAGIC FINDING!
