I can run 4 d2s and I have an enchanter.

Other than that, I used to have a +24min/-45req pick, 12min breast plate, and a 12min mask until they expired.

Before that, I used to use gemmed weapons.

2 d2s, rush to tombs, trist til 14-ish, tomb til 20, cow til 26, baal from there...

Alternatively, do the above but go straight for hell chaos runs after 20. Been doing this lately, seems easier/faster/more efficient.

Oh, and while poison damage jewels, maxers, khalim's will, full sigons, and whatever else make you look like one hell of a cool kid... In my experiense, not a single one of them is worth the effort needed. Leeching is just faster and easier.

I do trist runs untill lvl 13-14, then i walk through act 2, generally, with a good party, you can get to 18 or so by tombs, and then 20 by the time you get done with dury / meph

then battle thru a4 and ancients and time 4 baal!

except on hardcore im always like level 30 already when i do ancients ><

Running 2 D2s. Rush to Act 5(cane, skills, life, and stat quests). Trist to 14-15. Tomb game myself using auradin(1h on laptop TP-1h on mouse). If g-rush: make baal game w/ new charc(auradin will baal the party), and someone will usually need baal. If norm rush: cow games w/ auradin til 24 then make my own baal games til 30.

I lvl up to lvl 20 by playing the game Shocked

Thats playing act1 and part of act2 then I rush myself to Ancients and leech cows to24-25. Then its baalruns. Playing the char upto lvl 20 gets me a feel of it and gives me time to plan it out.

I use an enchanter, alot easier/faster, also if you've never tried solo enchant baals, I'd suggest that one, specially in full tomb games or so.

When I played on HC I did this:

1-14/15 Tristram
14/15-17 Sewers
17-21 Tombs
21-25/26 Cows
26-40/45 Eldricht in full Baal games.

Rest of the way was just: Play game up to Eldricht then do him in full games or Baals when I got a trusted group.

70ish-85 Ancient Tunnels, Lost City, Hell Eldricht/Shenk. Tristram if I knew the character could handle it.

I Trist to lvl15 then put on full sigons, angelic ring, ammy, & sword, and p manald heal ring. I put +9 maxers in the sword, helm, armor, & shield. Then in stash I use resistance gc's and life/psn dmg sc's.

All that gets me 60%ias, +2skills, lots of life/mana, good life/mana replenish, good life/mana leech, high ar, high def, with my gc's i get max light and fire res...

You don't have to leech with this setup - people will be leeching off of you. Benefit is you are in front to grab the items that drop (I have found many lld items doing this). You only depend on people for wps. You can melee your caster until spells are powerful enough to take over (this rig gets nice mana bonuses). I've melee'd Diablo with a sorc at lvl17 and a full game. Negatives are you may not want to put enough points into str to equip this stuff. Don't bother using angelic sabre and sigon shield with a zon since her blocking speed is HORRIBLE with this setup (or you can try it for a good laugh). Also, angelic sabre needs repair often.

Other than that you will CRUISE through normal level. Do Ancients at lvl24 then Baal to lvl40-45. Usually at lvl 30 or 39~42 I'll switch to some more class specific gear and lvl41 imbue a circ i found along the way then sell it back to charsi.

I really don't try to just rush through the game (unless making a dueler). I want to see if I like a certain build or not so I like power gaming.
