If anybody plays classic at all lay out a sorc setup of skills/stats/gear that would be nicely functional for norm/nm rushing 7 chars at once. This may become a guild secret for speed leveling in the future.
I have a few things I am still putting together but this will be a sneeky idea once I have gotten it all together.

blizz or orb sorc



full irathas

twitch

shard

3 pdiamond shield or rare 30/20 priz

rare res boots

2 fcr rings


now when i did this i made blizz and didnt really like it that much (hate the hit or miss of that spell)

i think orb would work better anyway, just make sure you use any leftover skills in either getting a lvl 5 or so static field (important), or highest possible level teleport (also important)

all vita no ES.. block will still be good even if youre using a kite shield because dex is not a factor in classic blocking (+ twitch)

i had a lvl 77 classic blizz sorc back in may or june.. but didnt know you have to rush to act 3 hell before you can convert to conqueror. so i messed around and dueled some and died.

nick also had some sweet classic gear on his main mos. account, but thats banned

good luck though

To act3 hell or through act3 hell?
And is such hard? Because it sounds like you didn't like that much...

shit now i cant remember, im pretty sure it was TO and not through (hopefully)

its not thats its hard, its more annoying. you run out of mana like every 5 teleports.

i suggest getting at least lvl 70.. i scrapped my way through hell and got lucky there was a public hell chaos that i went 60-77 in over a couple of days time.

K, cuz between glitch rushing via classic and uber leveling 1-80 could be done in 2 hours which would be really nice. This would make doing several level jobs together highly profitable.

its much easier said then done, ive tried

its most beneficial early season when hellforge runes go a long way

Well if it is reasonably feasable, it is much easier than 1-40 and glitching a bunch with it or hunting down someone to glitch both baals.

1-20 - chant act 1 act 2

20-24 or 21-25 - cows/ancients

norm baal

25-39 - nm cow

39-40 quest leeching (trav, diablo)

only takes an hour or two to do that, thats how i used to do it.. never had any problems

dustin and nick also grushed 60 anni walkers this way in less then a week

Which is precise why I have a 5k+ chant. Still, all the same, 1.5 hours could become 20-30 mins tops.

also comes down to how many you can do at once. the chant method is someone playing each char your lvling, hard to use more then 1 and still lvl with this method. Also at the start of the season I seriously doubt there will be many HR at all around so making a hammerdin would be very difficult and making 2 would be almost impossible. the hammerdins are of course for uber lvling. Back when you could just sit in the corner of cows and get exp was good for leaching but now you have to be closer to the kills to get exp.

The classic rushing you have to get to act3 hell, just kill duriel and go to act3, if you don't then when you convert your char will be in nm and not hell. As gary said classic rushing is good for runes early in the season. Also a good idea with classic is to use the imbue on any chars you rush. xpac imbues mean nothing as there are so many better things out there but in classic rares are the godlies. From memory you need lvl 5 for imbue quest though or maybe lvl 9, not sure.

doing the chant method in xpac isn't the fastest way but it is easier early in season. generally i do 1-25 in 45 minutes and then nm baals at 40, good thing is though that you can leach 7 at a time without fear of dieing in nm baals. they hit 65-70 pretty easily in nm. using this method i can do 1 char 1-70 in 3 hours, 3 chars 1-70 in 5 hours and that's going it solo with no help from anyone, with help i can do 1 char 1-70 in 2-2.5 hours.
