Here's my MiFi. It's picked up 5 runes and cleared Zot. I have a bunch of equipment options, what should I got with? The main things I'm deciding are which weapon to use (+9 holy double sword or +5 antimagic double sword or +18 lance (Wyrmbane) edit: or +9 Eudemon blade) and which rings to use (I'm trying to see how much in the way of other resistances I should give up for MR). I'll probably switch to TSO from Oka though, there's not much more Oka can do for me.
Also, I picked up a randart shadow dragon armor and ended up with a surprising amount of stealth, which is pretty fun to play with (and it's not like I have better options for armor).
Wow, that's a ton of great equipment you have there!
I'm relatively certain a +9 double sword will edge out Wyrmbane for extended as far as that is concerned.
TSO will give you free rN+++, and you have a lot of Invocations already, so it'll be a good step. Oka wrath is kinda wimpy unless you get constricted in a dumb spot.
I'd say... +9 Double Sword, the amulet is pretty good if you remember to use the blink and train up some Evo; if not you may want the Regen; the rings are honestly confusing me since its 2 a.m. and in general I tend to slap stuff on until I have the resistances I want; ideally you want MR+++, ++++ if possible since some pan lords have pretty powerful paralysis, rf++, rC++, rElec.
rPois is great but not exactly vital; still helpful tho. rCorr is must have for Dis, otherwise is kinda meh.
In other news,
What if I take the build I crushed nearly all of extended on, but, and hear me out since I'm about to get technical here, I plop +10 slaying and just go for 5 runes?

I could've easily either had a lower turncount or went for 15 runes, but I wasn't sure until the last moment, and then I decided that I don't really like 15-rune wins enough to suffer through extended on Webtiles again, even if this guy was a god damn monster.
Seriously try it out, Vinestalker melee with shortblades and Uska. It's slow at first, but when it gets going oh boy.
