The Reasons Why We Employed D2R Soeceress

[katccxfbak]

We began with a Sorceress of Level 1, with no shared gear, no mods, and no other characters in the game. We gathered every piece of equipment, a little bit of experience, and some gold that was required to finish the run. This is the very first recorded, untwinked, solo, self-found, single-character Pacifist completion of Hell Difficulty ever achieved anywhere in the world, on either D2R or LOD difficulty. Due to the fact that completing Hell in such a short amount of time was only possible in theory, the normal speedrun only finishes Normal Difficulty.

It is required that Patch 1.14 or later be used in order to play Pacifist, and the objective is to finish Baal's quest.

You are not allowed to take any action that would directly harm anything that has a life bar, including attacks, the vast majority of skills, and some shrines.

You are not allowed to provoke an attack on yourself or anyone else by using the taunt, confuse, or attract abilities.

You are not allowed to set Assassin traps for things to walk into, nor are you allowed to use auras that directly damage the target, such as Sanctuary or Holy Fire.

You are not permitted to hire anyone as Mercenaries or summon anything that most summons can be used to do anything that is prohibited on your behalf; however, you are not responsible for the actions of fully independent NPCs such as Flavie, Wild Barbarians.

Damage can come from a variety of sources, including but not limited to thorns, iron maiden, spirit of barbs, attacker taking damage, and chance to cast when struck.

D2R Defensive abilities that can be used offensively for mobility or convenience. The use of Telekinesis, Charge, and Leap Attack is permitted; however, accidentally targeting or attacking something during the run is not allowed because it causes Charge and Leap Attack to sometimes automatically do so. Please do so at your own peril.

If you directly attack or deal damage during the run, even if it was an accident caused by a bindings glitch, the run will be considered invalid. In addition to assigning hotkeys for Throw and Unsummon, players should be careful not to equip throwing weapons and should make it a habit to reset their bindings whenever they change the equipment they are wearing.

It is permissible to use crowd control abilities that do not deal damage. If things are forced to attack you or others using taunt, confuse, or attract, then you should use leap, bone wall, or decoy instead.

Target line commands -direct, -txt, -ns, -seed, and -act(1-5) are no longer allowed.

Witch or warlock

Sorceress must be chosen as the starting class, and players are permitted to create non-expansion characters.


Other than the fact that she has teleport, the thing that makes the sorceress such a good choice is the fact that the best chance to cast spells all happen to be sorcerous spells, or at least for gear that you can reasonably farm and shop for, so you could cover yourself in a complete set of chance to cast nova gear and if you have eight pieces like we did in the end game, you have over 100 chance to cast that spell, so every time you get hit nova will go

Ethereal will not self-repair, so you'd have to socket this bad boy with a Zod rune to keep it from disintegrating. However, the normal version of this has a defense rating of around 14 or 1500, buy Diablo 2 resurrected items has up to 20 damage reduction, and it has up to 20 health regeneration. The gladiator's bane is ethereal, but this is actually not a good version of this because this might be good for your mercenary, maybe if you'
