I moved in early 2011 from a place where I got 70 - 75 ping. That was great, only time I lagged was during huge storms, which happen more often than not in Washington. In my new town I have a ping of 94 - 110 with not unusual lag spikes that hit me to 140 - 150 on a daily basis. I just try to rough it through those and I usually play a 21/15 or 18/18 build.

However, to answer the original question, I find that if you're not rubberbanding, ranged is a great route to take as it doesn't require much more than the ability to aim at your target. Otherwise, full strength polearm / 2h is what one of my friends does. He lives in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, Idaho and gets 130 - 150 ping on NA-1. After trying several builds he finally decided that high strength with a heavy hitting weapon that doesn't require much precision is a pretty good route to go after if all you want is to kill a few people before your lag ultimately causes your demise.
