yeah have anyone here ever tried to get rich by running destrokeys early in the ladder?

i ve considered 2 builds:

blizzard - u kill only Nihlathak since rest mobs around are cold immune, if he roll cold immune - departure from the game.

fireball/meteor or hydra/meteor generally fire spec - so his chance to get fire immune is lower than chance for ci. and u can kill most of the mobs in the room except spiders and those little shitters spitting on u.

not sure what is bare minimum gear to not get deleted in first 10 runs.

but probably
helmet:
rockstopper, lore or +2/+3 circlet or bulwark rw Shael + lo + Sol - pdr fhr life

body armor:
stealth/smoke/gbane/vmagi

wep:
spirit sword/wiz spike/spectral shard/suicide branch/lawbringer for rest in peace? fcr probably gon be dogshit with it

shield:
spirit monarch, ancients pledge, the ward with diamond, mosers, whitstans guard w/ pdia - if maxblock

gloves:
magefists/trangs/rare gloves with life/res

belt:
snowclash/ soe / gloomstrap / tal belt

boots:
aldurs/infernostride/hotspur/waterwalks/some rare boots with acceptable mods

amu:
any +skills amulet, rising sun good for fire spec

rings:
fcr ring with res/life/mana , nature peace op(pretty rare, expensive early on), dwarf star


merc: idk usual insight merc, but i'd consider normal base with cold spec, so he doesnt kill anything and get ur ass exploded
a5 merc: lawbringer and sazabi? or anything to keep him alive


my biggest consideration would be:
is maxblock worth it? would be running with 700-800 health max.

is energyshield worth it? early ladder means no CTA, and playing with loader bo barb is not ethical. mana pool would be pretty bad

yeah i might do some singleplayer testing to find out whats really reliable on trash gear. but first i wanna hear some ideas. maybe i am missing out on some juicy strat.

Don’t even want to read this. You way over thinking it

Yes you can get good money for keys early.
did it when d2r first came out. I was about to try on season start but never sticked to the game.
He even teached me how to recognize directions of Nihlathak spawn according to wall patterns which I never knew lmao. Helps significantly when doing quick runs

Yup farming niti is easy, I did it with nova es sorc with lightning sunder and random stuff like occu, peasant, soe, viper but it was hc so also maxblock and gerkes sanctu shield. Merc with bulwark, insight 17, treachery and prayer.

Also nature peace ring is qol

At reset use a bo barb, otherwise don't bother. You will 100% die.
