Can't seem to find a viable TX speed build! Looking for something I can farm GR keys, DB, bounties etc. I have tried the DB guild and Thorny build seems sooo squishy. Anyone running one I can try?

For TXfarming, I modified the normal GR punish/invoker build. Swap weapon/shield with norvalds. Add Nemesis bracers. Cube= RoRG, swiftmount, heart of iron
Skills, swap bomardment with consecration.
Sure it doesn't use Sage's set, but just run from elite pack to elite pack... CD on horse is always up.. stuff melts with a few punishes after you get off your horse. Easily farm keys and DBs in ~4-5 minute rifts.
Use either the LoN Bomb build or Invokers Punish build, but switch out the weapon for a Swiftmount or In-Geom instead. That's literally all you have to do to be able to clear TX rifts in 2 minutes or less, in solo mode. Sometimes it will be 30-60 seconds longer in a group TX rift, because you have worthless Barbs and Monks to carry. I'm only P450 at the moment and I can clear TX rifts in under 2min solo with either the thorns punish or LoN Bombardment builds.
The play-style when used properly is to kill elite/champ/boss packs and ignore all the white trash. You just jump from elite pack to elite pack, ignoring all the useless white trash mobs in between. White trash gives next to no progression, no DB's, no legendary/ancient items, no gems, no cash & no progress bubbles - they are a waste of time & effort.
You need to be using the EXACT set items as listed in the following builds (except for the weapons i talked about), with the stat rolls as best you can manage for what's recommended:

Yeah, sure, if you're lucky with the rift. 2 minute rifts is never ever your average with the sad elite density some rifts have.
It's a rift. It costs nothing to do. Common sense dictates that you exit the rift and reset the game unless it's an open map level to start with. You are literally wasting your time, otherwise. I'll take a couple of 10 second game resets to find a good map, over wasting 5 minutes going through a cave/tunnel map which you KNOW will have terrible density.
I just changed from LoN blessed shield to LoN bombard last night. I think 2 min is easily my average for a rift, if not faster. Half the time is picking up loot. Thorny pony pales in comparison. The DPS boost from LoN is just too good. You need really specific gear to do it well, but if you have it, it's great. I use ancient swiftmount and in-geom in the cube. You don't even need mortal drama for TX, things die so fast.

and how often do you have to try on average for a good one? 2? 3? 5? That's also time that has to put on top of the rift clear time. Your average time is never 2 minutes.
It takes 10 seconds to quit a bad rift and another 10 at most to get back in to a new one. 20 seconds is chump change compared to wasting MINUTES extra at a time on terrible staring levels. At most you may need to reset twice. Still way quicker then the alternate. The only way this takes longer is if your playing over dialup internet on a console or something ridiculous like that.

It may not be ideal, but it works for me. http://www.d3planner.com/432240128
