My 2 cents:
-Hammerdin, Skeleton/Zookepper Necro are the two big powerhouse builds, neither is terribly EQ dependent.
-Frozen Orb/Some other skill sorcs do pretty well with any equip, but are a little more challenging than the above.
-Trapper Assassin - this is what I went with for my first character (she's currently a level 87 guardian), maxing fire blast, LS, DS, and some in CBS + Shadow Master. Very much not equip dependent and a safe build thanks to the best crowd control skills in the game (CoS and MB).
I'd recommend against a wind druid, they are very powerful in nm, but get a good bit more challenging in hell. Not an impossible build with lousy equip, but I think any of the above might be a better choice.
