So I am thinking of doing a titan barb(all str) as a sorta ironman style run, so every area can only be cleared once, I cant save and exit to reset, you commit to only pushing forward and doing the stuff in the act your in, I can go to town and craft/gamble as much as I like, the barb build will
be whatever suits the case, so on hell I likely will run into immuns at times, so maybe for arcane I would go full berserk, I fell like p8 would be too much, not impossible, but without proper gear it will just take forever, either that or I have to skip everything and hope I dont get stuck,
p1 is too easy likely, fell like p5 is maybe better, I wonder if anyone done this before who can share what its like.

I may add some other rules and modifiers to the run as well, need to think on it.

There was a barb p8 wt a year ago that I followed. He got stuck somewhere in nm act5 or hell? I dont remember now, will check and post it here. That's why I'd say lower to /p5 or something and you might have a chance with your crazy ironman style
Edit: here is a link for that wt : https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=84708408&f=161

There was a guy streaming these Hc P8 single pass runs a few years back. Most characters made it to hell and his frenzy barb completed hell on HC p8.

Here's a link to one of his walkthroughs(started posting quite late):

Voted P8. Having seen most of your walks, I feel like you can do it. I struggled to grasp the extra amount of time you'll put in going from p5 to ,p8, but my best guess gut feeling still said you could do it

fell like its either 5 or 8, lacking proper gear is going to be a problem, unlikely normel builds, I cant just tank and leech life as well as other might, still with bo and shout, taunt and war cry, alot of things could be done, I fell like on p8 there is a chance of hell just me hitting a zombie for 10 mins each or shipping most, but then again, maybe thats just part of the challenge of choosing what to farm and what to skip.

If you havent done singlepass HC P8 before you could do it with a non-titan build first to try out the concept. As you cant farm you really need to plan ahead.

It will be a titan or no go, I rather go p5 if it seems impossible, I do plan on getting as much mf% and abusing find iterm as much as possible.

The world record is 11 hours. With farming items to increase hp and resists, I don't see why you couldn't do it too.

I mean sure its possible, never said it would not be, but since I am not speed running and using teleport to skip everything, the investment is higher, trying to skip with teleport would be reckless, but a speed runner would not care. also its melee, no war cry,
its a question of what would be enjoyable and interesting.

Edit: also I might run addions to the game, like double mob spawn and 2x movement speed, making skip strats even more dangerous.
