Honestly, whichever one you can clear faster. I'd lean towards TA - and the TA trophy is actually useful (5% DR).

I'd be more biased to nihilthak, as he drops signs as well as SU/sets

Not correct. I've done Nih 250 times for signets and not once he dropped set item, few times some SU daggers. On the other hand with high MF in TA you can have 10 set items and few SU in one run. And if you have any unwanted Set Item you can cube it for signet anyway, so running TA is imo much better option.

Has anyone figured out a use for bloodspeaker's mark? The low health and lack of any sort of increase makes it seem kind of worthless. Not only that but any sort of AoE kills the whole group of them.

My only thought is using lightning shield to make them into really dumb weapons.

do you play on realm?

when i do TA runs i find some SU's but almost no sets. maybe 1 setpiece in 10 runs and 2-3 SU's per run.

I just started on realm, but was talking from SP experience with 800% MF + Greater Greed Elixir (350%). maybe try that.

I kinda making notes of amount of U and Sets each run and will compare it with exact MF on realm to prove what (if) is the difference)

the differece in drops between realm and sp is massive, so that explains a lot. i cant get to 800% mf though since i would lose too much killspeed.

That's why I have that 800% without weapon or jewelery.

btw couple days ago I've posted screens with crafted MF items, but it can be costly
