Black Fur Boots, Shield of Striding, Velium Coldain Insignia Ring (ring , Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring for insta clicks (wtb Amulet of Necropotence!).

Earring of Pain Deliverance (9 mana, 6 regen), Muramite Signet Orb (400 mana buff), JBBP, Tae Ew Ritualists Mask, Umbracite Swarm Orb, White Ceramic Band (root breaker!), Worker Sledgemallet, Spiritstone of the xxx. Folded Bearskin Bag and Folded Medicine bag are great too. Can keep 2 bag slots open and if you need to make potions just make the bags, or if you need more bag space, make 2 more bags.

And for the absolute positively best utility...
Spear of Constriction!!! Shaman Ensare! There's also Sap Encrusted Branch for ensnare if you have a better chance at killing Tunare than turning back time to un-revamp VP.

1.5/2.0
Then Quarm ring. How can you say no to an item with an effective 90ac and 165 total saves, with 6% spellshield and 210 base HP to boot? To top it all off, 45ac and 15svall stay with you if/when you replace the slot.
