But again, needs gear? Also... Bosses only in Hell. Too many variables when saying "no end gear" ... no Enigma / Infinity / Grief etc.

Paladin getting gear and easier to equip for like a Hammerdin with 1 base smite skill with Spirit Sword and Pally Shield = Magical Damage.
Barb with 2x Spirit swords and Warpike (etc) on switch with Berserk Skill = Magical Damage. 1 base Leap and choose your other skills.

Well, we know that Java has high CS damage, but again, no end gear? A light sorc is fine for bargain gear.

Not arguing, but really a bit tough to answer because in 99% of cases, you strive to have end gear and farm gear.

Might even be a Frenzy barb with 2 Blacks, guillames helm, goblin toe and eth skulders Ire etc.

I guess another thing to consider is the process of getting to the boss, which is easier for some builds than others...

Oh awesome, thanks and what END GEAR were they using? Or do you think the OP was being ignorant when he/she stated NO END GEAR?

I say they as in the person. It is a solo run. Like click the link and watch? You said "Oh awesome thanks" then did not even watch it just asked more questions. Oof.

I think we are on two different views here:

I am talking Solo character class.
You are talking about a group... even if it is only a Conviction Paladin and a Javazon (2 in group)

You understand this? or do you want to just watch speed runs where it is a group of more than 1 player in game?
