Doesn't this get annoying that you MUST teleport to walk at all? The videos are hard on the eyes.
Although maybe I'm just crazy. Enigma was fine...

I want to adress jewels vs runes. I want to vote for jewels.
I thought about it for a while now, went back And forth, also tried runemaster.
For farming there is no need for insane defense, I died in situations being careless watching our. Baby instead of the screen with both 1.3 and 250k def.
With that in mind runes are 100%worse than jewels. getting double the rune value, and 20%minion life or 10%mf and 10%minion life is great but I didn't really feel the difference of extra minions life honestly vs LUM.
But I went on. And got myself some fhr and fcr affix and man it helped so much. Recasting faster is so very strong that I believe that anybody should at least consider jewels.

Thanks for the feedback! While I mostly agree with your sentiments, I'd just like to point out two things:
1) I generally recommend runes to make gearing simpler. Naturally, jewels have more potential.
2) You don't need FCR on jewels because Spirit Guide already overcaps your FCR. Of course this is not applied while in town so if that's what you meant, then I suppose that is helpful.
But other than that, yes. Crafting jewels with more minions stats and MF would better suit our purposes.
