I would try out one of the Act 1 profiles (I think ChuckyEgg released a new one thats meant to be good)
- Gear for GF, BUT make sure you have some Thorns to start off so incase of crashes/dcs you can still kill most monsters
- Make sure you get extra resists (All Act 1 Farming guides usually have resists suggested for Softcore, just add 10-20% ontop of their recommended resists)
Pretty much its all about making sure you are 100% safe and cannot die (Thorns prevent DC death and Proper Resist, HP helps you survive) - Go a little extra on these stats then once u see u can 100% run fine remove some and add more Gold find.
