Standard Guide
First Clears
Due to the Combat Triangle, it is recommended to clear theError creating thumbnail: File missing
Earth God Dungeon with Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic because the enemies here are mostly Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee, including the final boss 
Terran.
Being stunned when an enemy hits you causes you to take 30% additional damage. The idea here is to get out of the stun effect of Terran faster than he can attack if you're under the effect of his slow (+33% attack interval inflicted by Grasping Roots). Weapons with a 2.9 second attack interval will get away in time, however weapons with a 3.0 second interval will not without the use of interval reduction bonuses; specifically, 3.0 second interval weapon need to be reduced to 2.9 seconds or faster. Therefore, it is only safe to use 
Cloudburst Staff while using Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge I or Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge II before clearing Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Mist.
The safest spell to use while maintaining a decent adjusted clear time is likely the 20k-accuracy Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Gust, with a wand and a shield equipped.
Worth noting that using Cloudburst Staff, even with Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge I or Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge II, will likely far outpace any other spell/weapon combo. However, be aware that this will cost a lot of runes, and running out of them will put you in danger of dying. Check combat sim to see how many runes you will spend per hour, and make plenty of extras to survive for as long as necessary.
The following methods will reduce your interval sufficiently enough to avoid the need to spend 
Air Runes on Surge Auroras, making this particular method effectively foolproof. You can use the Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fury II Aurora instead for better adjusted clear times if you meet one or more of these requirements.

It may be helpful to check if you can idle the dungeon with the Combat Simulator. Can I Idle may be misleading in the amount of DR you need. 'If' your attack interval is 2.9 or lower with a staff, or if you are using a wand, you can uncheck the Status Damage checkbox as you will not be taking stun damage from any of these enemies.
Use 
Silver Diamond Ring, 
Infernal Cape, and 
Dragonfire Shield if you don't have enough DR.
Ring of Wealth or 
Aorpheat's Signet Ring can be used if you don't have the 
Warlock Ring, but the adjusted drop time is worse with them.
FEZ is good but not mandatory.
If you have unused 
Water Chests, you might want to open them for the 
Magic Wand (Elite).
