Depends on how many rounds of Talaks you want to roll with. Say for example you want to get 3 rounds of Talaks in for each duel, you need to have at least 121 attributes in speed either from items or from distributing your attributes.
This is how I maxed out my load outs with pretty modest gear (Arlens Pyromantic Focus, Darian Commander Gear, Crimson Cancesences, Manaspring etc).
I put about 20/30 points in STAM, the rest in INT on the theory that Mind Amp will bump it another 15% and also give me 60% more strength in damaged (tho I am convinced that is buggy right now because I am only doing 50-60 damage with my legendary staffs).
Then in order to get 4 rounds of talaks I used the Darian Chest/Legs/Back/Head pieces along with the Heirophant Treds, Arminaian Gloves, and Zealot Anklets and use Arlens Focus and Manaspring for weapons. That gives me 345 int before Mind Amp Kicks in... From there you can play with diff loadouts. For example I have a 2 round talaks and a 2 round talaks with a high armor staff.
I think this route gives you the best option with other openers as well, the other option is to put 121 or 61 points in speed to get your 2 or 3 rounds of talaks in, but that may not do you any good for fireshield or Energy drain.
