If anyone would like to offer some advice about rounding out my battle set for general use, please do! I have been out of the loop since tier system came in. I have plenty of sP and don't mind investing. I also have some items in the wardrobe so I might have something tucked away that I don't know about.
Here's the set I'm currently using item=Deluxe Death Shard item=Soma Tablets item=Reborn Icewand of Doom
What else is in my armoury <tier 7:
Tier 7:
Tier 6: item=Flame of Red Rreign Cuirass
Tier 5: item=Gate Keeper Collar of Slavery item=Truth Serum
Tier 4: item=Malevolent Grimfruit item=Kismets Cosmic Wand of Annihilation
Tier 2: item=Blackmoon Hand Blaster
Tier 1:
Most items are already modded with and/or
Good scrolls I have (up to 21 AP): Twin Peak Divine Denizhen Cobalt Eternal Terra Focujin Basalt Blast Poisonous Barrage

I gave some set advice here in a similar post. Please feel free to take a look. For scrolls, I'd keep Divine Denizhen and fill the rest with either cobalts or sancturia exodins, or throw in one bomb scroll (Gale Force from battle shop or Morosbane for a last-minute, desperate attempt to change the outcome of the battle.
