@Gynli I second blizz! Its really the only good option with out enigma and/or infinity, but fortunately it works pretty great.
@maxicek 2:30-3:00 is definitely pretty tough. I was getting ~3:15 last time i was running my java (on p7) and that was after a bit of practice. Getting sub 4 is extremely doable though for anyone with griffs, enigma, infinity etc. All about not killing a ton of stragglers and not staring at the loot forever.
@saracen85 you should definitely at least try out enigma if you've got one. A little less mf for double the runspeed? Get it!
Here's my setup for this year. I think it's as good as it gets for not wanting to swap weapons a lot or drink many potions.
Helm - Griffs (ias/3mpk)
Amulet - 2 zon/8fcr/8ML
Weapon - 3-4 sets of upped titans to swap between when they run low (one is eth)
Body - Enigma
Shield - Spirit
Gloves - 2/20 java rares with mana
Ring1 - 6 mana leech, energy, life, 1mpk (used this over soj just for the mana leech)
Ring2 - Raven
Belt - Razortail
Boots - Silkweaves
Merc - DEFIANCE, andys, fort, infinity
Charms - a few java/life skillers, a few life/mana scs
I highly recommend the defiance merc if that wasnt clear from the all caps
. Feels great. its 68fcr/35ias and I'm only ever out of mana when mana burned, and the bulb refills very quickly while throwing at hardly any cows. With the 9mpk and 14 mana leech with upped titans. I used to run might merc for the even greater mana leech (but i used soj at that time), and defiance is just much much better. It just happens to make the difference between almost always being able to tele/throw/run out of a bad tele and not being able to. And ofc I have played the "standard" setup with hlw and 55 ias, and I can tell no difference in practice between 35 and 55.
Here's a video of my runs with the setup I was using back at the end of last year, which is the same as above, but again I've replaced the soj with a 6ML/1mpk/12 energy ring.
