Just my opinion but I usually get a SL in the same account of a HP, marry the SL with the SG and use Kaahi on SG.
With that and assumpt is easy to kill up to 5 monsters and 1 valk at a time if you pot when needed.
Also for gears I use this:
3 ak book
Magni's cap
mid gear with vanberk if available
glit jacket +3 str with pasana/bathory to swap for golems if needed
stone buckler with alice
captain manteau with raydric
battle greaves with green ferus[firelock if you can make a +9 =p]
Why the garment and shoes from bg? +150 hp from them and that way you can get 10k hp because dmg isn't everything and you can just +5 everything and get the same def as with odin set

The reason I don't like bsb+shackles combo is just because of the hp dropping too much to give a decent survive rate :|
Dunno why you're using vital tree shoes since vit bonus suck on SG and the extra pot power isn't nothing special due to the modifier and proxy when both can't be used in anything except trans[unless the server you play has them working with non-trans].
