Sweet!! I ended up trying this build for Act 2 elite farming - it worked!
Act 1 was a joke (it really is), I was able to mob 4 packs with arcane, illusionist, horde, invulnerably, des, etc etc all at once. It's a lot more fun than blizz/porb/hydra kiting.
I didn't spend all that much (minus the weapons from my DPS build) because i wanted to see if it worked out.
Anyway, the gear I bought was cheap and netted me 240ish%+ MF with NV stacks (yes low compared to my glass canon build), 30k life, 500 LoH, 600 resist?, low armor? I feel like what I bought was the very minimum for Act 2 and good for farming. I was able to do a complete run yesterday night solo and with a group of 4. Time wise? It was much quicker because I could just skip all the white mobs until I found elites, facetank rinse & repeat.
I'll try to figure out how to post gear and stats so maybe others can get an idea of what you need or what worked out for me. Like I said I didn't spend too much because I didn't know if this build would work or not.
Next step is to see what gear is necessary to farm act3 without breaking the bank.
Oh and about the firechains, I just port around them and perma freeze. The key to this is not to be lazy...
