Griffon's Eye, Razortail, Enigma, Ravenfrost, magic 3/20 or rare 2/20 Java gloves and CTA.

Infinity, Treachery and Andariel's Visage socketed with at least a 15 IAS jewel. 15 IAS/Fire Res if you find.

I used Spirit shield on my Java and had no problem with survive-ability, but I did keep a Stormshield in the stash. I also kept a pair of Silkweaves for runs like cows where I could really benefit from the 5 mana after each kill.

I've a question about sp java aswell, wont make a new topic just for that

What is the best budget weapon before I could find titans? ^^


Titans can be found on Nightmare Meph, and basically any javelins can get you to Nightmare Meph.
So I guess there's not any specific one lower than titans :D




Shield wise, Sanctuary is a great option for resistances.
Moser's (Upgraded to LUNA) with KO+SHAEL is great for easy max block aka more life




3/20 gloves at Anya but keep in mind that optimum chances at Anya with char level 68 to 70.
but even then, odds of getting 3/20 are still 1 in 11,305




If I was you, I'd make Harmony and farm the sh*t outta LK to get Merc Treachery, Merc Infinity, Enigma for yourself if possible even though it's not a must

I was using the safety weapon crafting recipe to reroll the magic javs I was finding while running NM meph for titans, I ended up with some 3jav and later a set of 2/20 javs I swapped to
pemerald / sol / jewel / jav is the recipe

So many bad advices.
Ias bps are 55 and next is 95
Keep spirit, huge manapool 2sk and res is awesome. Mosers can boost your res but its not worth it imo. Neither is sanctuary.
Ort sol helm for +1sk 30lightres 7dr or some res+15ias helm can be 3s with 15ias ort ral
Raven
3/20 gloves
Razortail
Smoke if 15ias helm for 55ias bp or treachery +15ias helm for 95ias bp, i personally dont like treachery due to its low proc chance on a ranged char wuth shield.

Merc
Infi is your biggest dmg increase, eth elite insight is a good temp
Tal mask is fine too

Well, after you get infi, mosers (or hhg) is well worth it imo. Because you need a lot of -res to actually kill mobs as soon as infi breaks their immunities.
If you don't have griffs (which is a pain to get on untwinked sp), I'd rather have rbfs on as much sockets as possible and would definitely swap out spirit for it. Otherwise it would still take too long to take down broken immunes.

Then go 20/-20 monarch.
I just see no point in going from spirit to mosers/hhg.
Also you need to get facets, which can be an bigger pain in there

Basically a question of more damage vs more safety (resists) but yeah, totally viable of course.

Well, I look at it as of +2 skill (and a lot of mana, which is neat indeed) versus the benefits of the added rbfs (all 3 shields give you roughly the same amount of resists). I, for myself like the facets more than the +2 skills as long as I don't have griffons but do have infi.
My point is that I wouldn't rule out mosers or hhg in the first place when I do untwinked sp as you did but I understand your take on it. Spirit is a heckuva shield and I use it too if I have griffons.

True of course but as I've never ever found a griffs for myself in all the years but tons of rbfs, I'm sure some people will agree here :)

Valid points. Spirit is easier to get than 2-3 rbfs :)
