Description

I am curious how many runs you can do in one Boss TZ (only aiming for the Boss) and which Char you are using.

I first started with my Sorc for
Andariel
,
Duriel
and
Mephisto
and my Assassin for Diablo and
Baal
. But the speed of my 105 FCR Cold Sorc is really hard to beat - at least if you only want to snipe the Boss. The Mosaic Assassin simply needs too long to get the charges up, has slower
Teleport
and you also have to pay attention not to lose the charges when the mobs in the third wave manage to spam hydras. The downside with the Sorc is that today my squishy lvl97 lady (was short of 98) was killed by some nasty dolls in the throne room 🙄

Anyway, here are some estimations from my runs (identifying items and clearing cube included):

Andariel
: ca. 28-32
Duriel
: ca. 15-25 (of course highly dependent on getting the right tomb)
Mephisto
: ca. 28-32
Diablo: ca. 12-15
Baal
: ca. 8-10

A 200 fcr sorc is hard to beat on sniping the boss

Depends on how awake I am. :P

Generally speaking, if your goal is pure speed for safe and reliable boss farming, a properly built
Fireball
/
Meteor
sorc is about as good as it gets. The only thing competing in travel speed is a barb or other sorc builds but those can't quite keep up on boss kill speed. Barbs just take too long to kill. Blizzard gets f'd on the "does no dmg" bug too often. Other cold builds just don't kill as fast.
Hydra
has higher theoretical max dps but requires time to place the hydras which isn't worth it for simple boss runs. And lightning does come in a very close second but still can't quite out-boss-kill fire (gains a bit on
Baal
waves as
Nova
but loses on bosses).
Spent plenty a ladder season setting records with that while I still bothered with 'versus runs'. ^^

That said, currently, I'm using my lock for everything. In part for the novelty but more so simply because he's still half a level behind the rest so until then, he gets priority. :P
Shreds everything no problem but obviously can't compete with a sorc. Cast rate just isn't the same. So he is a tad slower all in all.

Even with his slowdown though, Andy, Meph and Dia can all be run in well under a minute so >30 a rotation.
Baal
is sadly often closer to 2 minutes due to a crap map and that forced delay between waves so about 15-20 per rotation, give or take.
And
Duriel
just varies massively based on the maps. Probably averages out around 20-30, give or take, but I never quite paid attention to the actual timing for that one beyond "DAMN IT, LAST ONE AGAIN! TAKING FOREVER! U SUCK
Duriel
!". ^^

I don't play with a stopwatch and I don't aim for Bosses. I use to kill everything on my way.

But my FoHdin doesn't take long killing Andy, Meph or Dia.

HCNL, i use fohdin for andy/meph with Enigma, and Mosaic sin with Enigma for diablo /
Baal
.
I don't go for
Duriel
TZ or not, i use
Tal
tombs for heralds when TZ.
Andy i'm roughly at 1 min per run.
Meph beetween 20 and 25 per 30 min, but i don't go straight for Meph, i always clear council.
For diablo i always en up with 11/ 12 runs in 30 min with my assa, i never pop seal the area, my best HR drop area .
And
Baal
is 10 to 12 runs depending on path, WSK is my second best HR drop area.
