Hi,
so after I found out I could get to Nightmare diff in about 15 minutes
with a char started with the -act5 trick, I wanted to know how fast I
could get him to Hell Hellforge.
Natural choice for this was an Enchantress build, as she could use bows
with her fire damage, and later on would enchant her rusher. But for the
first part - getting through Nightmare - she would be accompanied by my
level 78 Enchantress with a level 35 Enchant.
Started at level 33, I rushed my new Sorc through Normal Act5 in about 15
minutes. I just had to make sure she didn't die and don't touch any
waypoints. Rushee reached Nightmare diff at level 35..
So she did Act 1 fully enchanted at /players 8 and reached Act2 at level
40 after 35 minutes. Piece of cake..
Act3 took somewhat longer, but finally Meph was killed after 50 minutes
and at level 43. Act4 was quite painful due to these OK's, but my
Enchantress got them all with STATIC and her Demon Machine. Rushee got
another few levels by doing NM Hellforge herself and got a PUL for the
effort - and level 45 after 65 minuts.
The Ancients and Baal's Minion were quite easy for my Enchantress, and
then we stormed into Baal's lair, rushee first - cowering in fear at the
town portal shew cast immediately. Then Enchantress and her HF Merc with
Obedience Thresher stepped in and Baal was toast. Finished Nightmare in
about 30 minutes and at level 46.
Mostly negative resists for the new Sorc in Hell, but who cares? With
Warmth 14, Enchant 20 and 1 point in Fire Mastery, she can cast a hefty
level 29 Enchant with +skills.
Now my level 86 ThrowBarb steps in to help her get through Hell diff to
the Hellforge. He gets a nice Enchant from the rushee and off we go to
Andariel. I had forgotten to give him some money, so we had to pick up
stuff and sell it to pay the repair charges for this throwing axes.
Once again, rushee cowered in fear in the corner to Andariel's lair when
my ThrowBarb rushed in. There was quite a bunch of Fallen around, that
strayed through the door and actually attacked my rushee. I had to rush
out and kill these bummers so rushee wouldn't die. We finally killed Andy
and at that very moment a Fallen got my Sorc. Anyhow, we reached Act2
after 30 minutes..
That's all for the moment and the summary is:
Normal rush : 15 minutes
NM Act2 : 35 "
NM Act3 : 50 "
NM Act5 : 65 "
NM Baal : 30 "
Hell Act1 : 30 "
=========================
225 minutes
I didn't really "rush" it, as we picked up stuff on the way and my
Enchantres rarely used teleport to get around. So I guess it's possible
to shave off 30 to 45 minutes and reach Hell diff in less than 3 hours..
I'll report on the final part of the voyage when it is done.
Regards,
Oliver
