Where I got my stuff: My character's history is actually pretty well-documented as I'm a part of a couple of SP communities. I had completely dreadful gear for a very long time until I got a tgod's off of hell Eldritch (who I ran thousands of times because my gear was too poor to do anything else - I got from 85 to 92 on Eldritch alone). After that, I rerolled my map until I got a good DoH 2 map (pic related) and then I did meph thousands of times. SS is not particularly rare, by the way, and I think I got it off of Meph in my first thousand runs. I switched to pits/baal after my gear improved with a brief period of doing nothing but LK to get the runes to make a CoH and a CTA. In all, I did nothing but meph for the better part of a year and LK for about two weeks.

Is it possible that I'm still cheating? Sure, but I have a lot more credibility here than you do. For starters, even though my character is two years old the only TC87 unique that I've gotten is Crown of Ages (off of a hellspawn in WSK 2), and you've apparently found more Tal's armors this week than I've found in those two years. Also, a lot of my gear has very low rolls: My titan's are 153/9, my shako is one defense off of the lowest possible (99), and my mara's is the worst possible. I got a good roll off of Trav's (the only other item I found from Eldritch, really) and my Tgod's is okay but on all of the places where it counts my rolls have been rather poor. I've found one facet, and it was a 4/3 poison. In short, if I'm cheating, you certainly couldn't tell from my items.

Teleport on Amazons: Nobody does this, and for good reason. You need 68% FCR to get to the Sorceress BASE casting speed, which is still way too slow to really be safe on /p8. Because you basically have to use SS it's impossible to achieve 68% - let alone an actually reasonable casting speed - without significant gear sacrifices.
