If you truly want a speedy rush, you should pre-collect act 2 staff parts and act 3 organs. :P
(but that's a bit overkill, really)
Actually, you can get 7 staff/organ sets out of each rush. If you need 49 sockets, that's totally worth it. ;-)

I'm a noob at rushing as well. Tried to rush some players in Normal a long time ago and I think I really messed up. First my merc (with Insight - I needed that for TP) killed
Andariel
too quickly and then something similar happened with
Duriel
. Entered his chambers first and
Duriel
was dead already by the time the rushees came in. Not my finest hour.
How to avoid a merc killing a boss too quickly?

This one doesn't actually matter. To the person being rushed it will look like the quest failed if
Duriel
is killed before he/she joins the boss room ("This quest cannot be completed in this game") - but for
Duriel
specifically, if the rushee talks to
Tyrael
inside the tomb it overrides the quest status and fixes it. After talking to
Tyrael
the quest will say "Talk to
Jerhyn
" and everything works as normal.

As for
Andariel
, just make the TP in a corner (it can be in the entry room with the stairs!) and wait for the rushee to show up before proceeding to engage
Andariel
. There's no risk of the merc wandering off to kill
Andariel
if the TP is that far from
Andariel
.

The basic Principle is "it doesn't matter who kills something but someone who is eligible for the quest needs to be nearby".

Ac5:
- Rusher opens TP near shenk, rushee zones in, rusher kills shenk.
it changed a bit, one char with quest to be done must be in the Area, not nearby
e.g. for act 1
Andariel
you can stay at the stairs, act 2 you need 1 people in the "upper room" not with
Duriel
, etc, act V one char in last room far from
Baal


for
Shenk the Overseer
you can even have everyone in town, not even need someone at the bottom of the stairs as it used to be

That doesn't sound right.
I've had shenk fail on me more than just a few times because my rusher went and killed him without opening a TP while i was sitting in town.
And that includes multiple relatively recent rushes.

Unless they literally changed it with RotW, then maybe, might've been before then.

I did a hundred times witout any problem
Im not on RotW
and it even works with the cinematics between act IV and V playing (note the char appears in town while not even really there)
so either they changed it quite recently either it failed you for other reason

NB I rush myself for Normal/Nightmare/Hell doing hellforge hell for runes
and it works each time on every difficulty level with my other chars being in town, only the rusher killing Schenk alone
that's the only differnece I can think of but should not impact the quest as for the server its different players !?

NB 2 the char being rushed always create the game, not sure if it works if the rusher creates the game (never tried this way)!?

BTW if you create a team count me in
I do it by myself and it takes me some time because I need to do everything alone
and I'd like to see other people doing the rush to see if I dont miss anything like

which I dont fully understand (I think I got it but only works on Normal as you need a bumper for other levels, right ?)

(e.g. act 2 the rusher can create a TP in
Harem Level 1
so rushees can just take portal to go
Duriel
>
Jerhyn
>
Meshif
, saving running in town)

Actually just re-confirmed this. I'll assume klm had someone else down there who didn't have credit yet or something but if the (only) person in need of the quest sits in town when shenk dies, you will not get credit, same as it always was.

PM your handle and I add you to our

Back in the olden days we used to use characters called durimules in order to eliminate having to assemble
The Horadric Staff
. If you have the ability to create one they can make life a little easier for you.

same technique, different results, really strange indeed
I'll do some testing to find why its working for me and not for you
it doenst really change the final result just need to do a bit more of cleaning near the stairs
