I felt like I lost speedrun mode about 3-5 hours into the run and just started playing normally. Focusing on rushing through D2 was physically draining for me. Even with the death penalty, dying repeatedly to Diablo was still more familiar and preferred to me than being lost for hours in Act 3!

I'm glad that some of those times I had a portal handy. Even speedrun characters sometimes die, but I wasn't ready for the number of times my char died. Even with teleport, this act took 2-3 hours to beat. Act 3 I was so used to skipping in multiplayer that I forgot what zones were where. This was -slow.- I got so tired of leveling in jail that I stopped at 17 for Stealth Runeword armor and got 18 in Act 2. I had many other things to do, and having played D2 for years, I thought I could just jump back into it as a Sor, my favorite class. This was my first time beating Diablo II on 1P mode, and my first time beating it from character creation in one day.

Diablo died after about 7 hours of real time play in single player. When should I increase which of my stats, and to what amount?Īt what levels (exactly or approximately) should I do what content? What sorts of things should I check for my route? I've not yet memorized most area layouts.Īside from killing act bosses, what quests are most important to do? What sorts of gear is most important? What is its relative priority, like faster casting being more important than faster hit recovery? I planned to go Sorceress and generally follow Llama's build (initially focused on Charged Bolt with 1 point in Telekinesis). (This is beating all 5 acts on vanilla Diablo II: Lord of Destruction single player using the latest official patch.

I've watched Llama speedrun Diablo II ('D2'), and one of my friends wants me to speedrun D2 for her birthday this Sunday.
