Thanks a lot for sharing, can't wait to test that out.
It makes sense according to what the person i was talking about showed me.
The weird thing we encountered was about the location of the rushee in the lut gholein map, in the second game.
The failures we encountered occured when the rushee moved too far from the starting position, for some reason.

The rusher forgot to talk to Jehryn then Meshif in that order, before talking to tyrael. The only other thing it could be is Jehryn was absent (strange bug, uncontrollable afaik) or rushee wasn't in act 2 when rusher talked to tyrael.

Yeah, could have been one of those, though it happened like 3+ times in a row, to the point where we never succeeded to do it with that specific rushee.
The guy that wanted to show me was absolutely baffled.
EDIT: Just tested using my tomb opener, it works like a charm.

I made an "a2 bumper" for this but unless there's some trick I'm missing you still had to go click altar so the rushed person can take a TP into arcane sanctuary, then kill summoner so they can go into canyon.
So I imagine it would probably look something like this:

1.- Get a character up to Duriel.
2.- That character makes the A2 game.
3.- That character takes Duriel kill credit so everyone else does as well from town.
4.- Have full flail pre-collected on another character.
5.- Kill council, have anyone smash orb.

You can have 3 A3 characters parked for the flails, but if you want to fully skip A2 every time you would have to rush a new A2 NM bumper and Hell bumper up to A2 every single time you do a boost.
Then after the rush you spend 5 minutes doing normal andy and collecting normal/nightmare/hell staves for the next boosting round.

IMO it's not really worth it, the flail is because you'd spend that time teleporting anyways and you save people some time but all the extra logistics for the little time save in A2 are a bit much.

Also yeah people can "walk" into durance without having done flail but nobody wants to babysit 7 lemmings doing that massive walk.
I personally hate that they changed A3 quest sequence tbh, it was unnecessary and stupid, the game was fine for 2 decades I don't know why some opinionated devs wanted to touch it.

This is the answer to the thread.

No, I'm far too prejudiced to be him.

Also, bids expire after 30 minutes if im not the delaying factor

You can have an extra lvl 1 char collecting all of the organs during a normal/nm/hell rush, up to 7. When you rush someone through act 3, you just do council for the cube and mephisto.

What is this secrecy nonsense, you can find this info with the simplest google search that even gets you jsp hits from way back

Just know for a2, no matter how you prep it, if the rushee is not in a2 for altar click they can't use TPs to arcane, and if they aren't in a2 for summoner they can't use TPs to tombs.

In a meta where tombs is the best xp, if you dont provide hell tombs your rush is shit

If you go with a duriel mule that you reuse, anyone can do the jehryn - meshif - tyrael talks, which can increase your runtime even more if you got enough loaders

The fastest way for a3 is a dedicated sorc mule pre collecting then dropping
