This is going to be a Classic Physical Zealer, players 1, hardcore, current patch.
I won't be doing any MF runs, and re-runs limited to trying to hit certain levels for attack rating purposes.
My gear will be a combo of shopped and useful drops I find on the way, I plan to only complete useful quests.

This won't be interesting to most of you I'd think and its more for my own documentation purposes
Will post results of each act, and planned strategies, and any eventful happenings of the act.
This will be slow as I have small amounts of time to actually play the game.
If this isn't good enough for the mods, please close it, and I'll just keep my results in word documents.

Anyways, here's my goal:
Beat Hell Diablo and try to achieve level 76
Max Zeal, Holy Shield, and either defiance or fanaticism, depending on how bad my damage is in hell mode

Act 1 Strategy Overview
I will beat this easily using level 1 might, level 1 sacrifice and a scepter, using my other skills to get pre-reqs and utility auras such as resist fire, and lightning, defiance, ect.
I will switch to Zeal at level 13 once it is level 2. I hope to find mana after kill rings.
Stats: I plan to start building strength for A2 gear later in act 1, and also keep a close eye on my attack rating, and add dex as needed, rest will go to vita (pretty even split across 3 stats i think)

Level 2: 5 vita, 1 might
Level 3: 5 vita, 1 sacrifice (den of evil: 1 smite)
Level 4: 5 vita, 1 resist fire
Level 5: 5 dex, save
Level 6: 5 dex, 1 defiance, 1 holy bolt
Level 7: 5 vita, 1 thorns
Level 8: 5 str, save
Level 9: 5 vita, save
Level 10: 5 vita, save
Level 11: 5 dex, save
Level 12: 5 dex, 1 zeal, 1 resist light, 1 blessed aim, 1 charge
Level 13: 5 str, 1 zeal
Level 14: 5 str, 1 zeal

Act 1 Gear plan: Studded Armor, 3 row Belt, Scepter w/ sockets if available, best block available shield found, rest don't care

Act 1 results:
My build progressed pretty much exactly to plan, didn't have any notable finds
Upon arriving in Act 2, I shopped a Grand Scepter for more damage, shopped some 10 faster r/w chain boots, shopped a 30/20 spiked shield, shopped a 2 socket full helm and put 2 chipped diamonds in it

My attack rating is still in good shape

Here we go A2~

Act 2 complete~
Duriel was easier than expected using thorns+thawing pots

I found this, the dream weapon in arcane, i can't believe it, I feel like this run is going to be too easy


Anyways, I'm level 19 and ready to start act 3, I'm going to take some time to level here and hit 24 before I go to act 4

I will need to build out my aura trees a bit more soon
Planning to get sancuary for undead physical immunes, conviction+vengence for other physical immunes, redemption is always nice, and of course salvation.
I also think conversion might be nice for certain situations...
