Heiho,
if you want to play a item-independent char choose a Summoner Necro.
Forget all that stuff you can't wear until being 70+. Buy a 3socks breastplate at Charsi's, buy a 2sock helmet there, stuff it with Topazes. Whenever you get better Topazes, rinse and repeat. You'll achieve a Shael rune finally, and by then you have found most probably an Eth already. Visit Charsi again to buy a 2sock shield for building the ShaelEth runeword. Maybe as a Necro you've even found a nice shrunkie with 2socks by that time.
Keep an eye onto the low level Sets. Some parts give an enormous MF bonus when combined. For example Tancred's Amulett and Shoes are hardly beatable even by high end stuff for necklaces and boots. So it makes perfect sense to play the game as intended and clear every map from Act1 BloodMoor / Normal on.
And last not least: be happy with every item you find. There is no such thing as a crap item as long as it's better than the stuff you actually wear.
