how to power level in D2r?

I saw a guy do this 11 hours of sorceress, from level 1 to ubers.




been wondering, how he finished it so quickly?
I know i'm a turner of every basket, and destroyer of the last mob ever left, the clearer of the clearers whatever.

but how fast can you beat the game? normal/NM/hell?

it seems like he did the whole game on normal in 3 hours.
which is about the time i get to act3(i clear EVERYTHING).

what's your take

Should watch some of Kano's video on youtube. Has the WR

Just plowing through the game isn't that hard or time consuming if you know where to go when and what spec to use where.

Even more so in his case as he's apparently on SP and adjusting his player count back and forth. That allows you to maximize your drops and xp in easy areas while dropping back down to P1 for harder bits to ultimately be even faster through everything. (Seems to be true for most speedrunners)

Though I don't see the ubers part anywhere..seems he's still busy just farming nightmare stuff after the 12 hr video.

This one’s my fav:



Had to watch a few times to even get what he was doing! Some people are on another level

This video is long, but he goes in to explaining the tricks people use to speedrun. This was pre-D2R so there are some gimmicks that aren't exploitable anymore.



MrLlamaSC is a speedrunner and he is really good to watch if you want to learn the basics. He has videos about everything from how to read the maps so you know where you're going to where to farm HRs.

This one is his speedrun from level 1 to ubers , about 6 and a half hours.



I personally don't speed through D2, but I stick to my chart for what level I should be before I move on to another act. The only part I force myself to do in 1 shot is the first half of act 3. Once I'm into LK I'm okay to take my time again.

What would you say are the top 5 most used Minecraft server lists currently?

My random guess is something like

minecraftservers.org
minecraft-server-list.com
mcbestservers.com
planetminecraft.com

Maybe I am missing something obvious, so if I forgot a good one, drop it below. Always curious to find more.

My fastest way is equipping a 5-socket

Long Bow with 5x poison jewels,

Cap and armor with 2 and 3 poison jewels and joining a high player count lobby. You 1-shot any enemy on players 8 until 10, maybe even 15 (have not tried that high level yet). With level 17 you can switch to a bow or

Crossbow with 5x or 6x

Tal runes.*

I'm not totally sure where, but starting from some level between 15 to 19 you start getting XP from

Tal Rasha's Tomb, you can create or join public tomb runs until 24. From then on, you can have a friend kill ancients for you, then

Baal runs until 40. Then rush nightmare, ancients,

Baal runs until 60, rush hell, ancients,

Baal runs until 80, and you would be uber ready in a handful of hours I reckon.
That requires a willing friend though, or you pay people to rush you. And this is assuming you are interested in rushing in the first place.

I think playing the game for yourself is the most fun, but I understand being impatient or preferring the fast route for the 8th character. No judging.
