Managed to clock in 13

Baal kills in the last WSK TZ rotation in Softcore Ladder. Even got

Worusk's End x2 out of it. I feel pretty hot right now. Now that I'm able to

Teleport,

Baal's laughter as he tries to buy time makes me so angry now. It was frustrating before - now his laughter is 50% of my run. >:(



I pulled off 25

Duriel kills in one Tombs TZ rotation while on Ladder just today. I did ignore everything else and

Teleport to

The Summoner's direction and then head to the correct tomb. I've specced my Warlock to be as tanky as reasonable, so he was able to just brush off Mauler hits.

To be fair, though, it was tense 30 minutes.

Korlic's Pain was the other statue I was missing, so I was very tryhard.

That's like 1

Duriel kill every 1m6s or something? I don't even see how that's possible without single player maps lol. I'd love to see your gameplay if possible. I probably get 5 or 6 Duriels in 30 mins.

1) Go to arcane sanctum.
2) Find summoner (this is where you actually lose time in these runs as the correct arm of the 4 is indeed random).
3) Look at the glowing symbols behind him.
4) Of the 7 tomb symbols, 6 will be there. The missing one tells you which tomb you need.
5) While you do the above, hit the book to open his portal.
6) Take his portal to canyon.
7)

Teleport to the correct tomb, now that you know the symbol. Any chain-farmer and speed-runner should have the directions memorized as the tomb locations are static.
8) Once inside the tomb, find the chamber entrance and head in (again a possible slight time loss here but typically not too bad).
9) Kill

Duriel.
10) Collect statue and whatnot as applicable.
11) Exit game

Generally, you rinse and repeat that loop and you can drop your

Duriel runs down to pretty solid times. Especially if you get lucky on the arcane guesswork a few times as that should take you to well below a minute for a run. Sadly, I for one tend to get summoner on the 4th arm reliably so...boo...

Since you exited at

Duriel, you will zone into act 2 in your next game.
In theory, you would want to avoid that because act 2 zone-in to WP is an unnecessarily long way. In reality though, TPing out from

Duriel to hit the waypoint to go to A4 or the like takes just as long, if not slightly longer. TPing out to talk to

Meshif and sail out of act 2 is faster but then involves a loading screen and strands you in act 3 which is no better. So as far as the game exit is concerned, you're kind of stuck with act 2.

However, if your load times are fast enough, you can speed up the process in your next game. After you zone into act 2, don't run to the waypoint. Instead, talk to

Warriv right next to you and have him take you back to act 1. That'll give you a much shorter distance to the waypoint which you can then take from act 1 directly to arcane sanctum to start your next run and shave off a few seconds. That's especially true if you need to unload to stash as your stash is also closer in act 1 than the detour in act 2.
