I was wondering if it wouldn't be a bad idea to add missions/campaigns as a goal?
Could be nice to add in a bunch of smaller things to work on + whole campaign.
I know there is a guy who did this on the speedrunning archive site but he does a bunch of patch jumping around, whereas I'm more of a "latest patch" kind of guy.
Just a thought!
So I just finished running a Hammerdin through Hell (http://www.speedrun.com/run/kz5301ny) and I'm wondering what other characters people believe could run through Hell, what sort of plan for skills they would have, and what time estimates they believe it would take.
I know for the hammerdin one of the biggest challenges I had to consider was Wave 2 in Hell Baal due to magic immunity. In my practice run I tried holy bolt, crushing blow, Merc w/ potions, etc. None of it worked. What I actually ended up having to do was Charge/knockback each unraveller individually until they were pushed far enough outside the throne to spawn the next wave. Annoying, but effective.
Other tricky areas to consider: Maggot Lair/Arcane Sanctuary/other places you need to be able to kill most everything to get by, Flayer Jungle, chaos knights in CS, etc
