How the reset run will look:
Going by past resets blizz will take the servers down at about 9:00 am Pacific time which comes out to 12:00 noon eastern time, with about 6 hour downtime.
We will meet up at 5:30 on teamspeak and be rdy to rock and roll.
With all our new characters we will completely clear blood moore (right outside of town) this is just to get the few initial levels and enjoy the begin of reset with all brand new chars. Including doing the full den after the blood moore is cleared.
For the most part we will walk in a direct path to the next areas killing as we go. All wps/quests are NOT necesary. We will continue on to blood raven and do the quest (just for some xp/mercs). Than continue onto stony field, dark wood, and cain quest. After rescuing cain we will do some early trist runs, usually about 10-15 untill everyone is AT LEAST level 13+, level 15 would be optimal.
Continue through act 1 doing main quests as we go and killing as we go. Same on act 2, 3, 4, 5. Teleing every once in a while to save time here and there. By the time we reach act 5 baal we should be well into upper 20's level wise.
We will be doing baal runs untill EVERYONE is at least level 40.
The next step is getting that first insight, we pick up just regular crappy white polearms as we go along and on normal larzuk will give sockets 3-5 (depending on the polearm itself) We figured out the best char to use it on is the assasin, as the sorc uses so much tele mana that it does not help, and the sin does not need attack dmg since at this point she will be all traps. The regular insight base is not as hard as finding that first sol rune. Sometimes you will get lucky and find that first Sol rune (ral, tir, tal is super easy to get) in act 5 on normal or in those normal baal runs.
Last reset we wasted over an hour doing all our hell forges and found out after, that the highest rune you can get from normal forge was AMN and SOL couldnt even drop :(. If we do not get a sol rune for the insight by the time we hit nightmare countess, we will continue to do countess runs untill we get a sol (usually prty easy by time we hit countess on nightmare).
Than nightmare is the one we go through essentially as fast as possible. With the sorc teleing and just getting us all the way to act 5 baal, while hitting the main quests on the way.
Once we hit nightmare baal, we do baal runs untill everyone is at LEAST level 60. Anything under that is suicide for hell since being decently undergeared makes hell prty difficult at the start.
Once we are all at least level 60 we move on to hell. Half playing through and half teleing, Not like nightmare where we tele everywhere but not full walking either, our goal is to get to hell baal asap and do as many runs as we can before we all pass out from staying up so late since it will probably be like 3-4 am.
At this point no one is obligated to go any further, I myself have taken off 2 weeks of work for the diablo 3 release date on may 15th so I wont be able to take off any time besides for half a day thursday may 3rd. Im sure most of us will still play together and meet up in game and such just like last ladder but you are not obligated to do so. This reset team for the most part is JUST for that first night to get everyone in the 70's 80's and on hell baal.
Also we share class specific drops such as barb helms, druid pelts, sorc staffs, sin claws etc etc etc, but besides for that items are FREE FOR ALL, unless its to make that first insight. Besides that what you pick up is yours and if no ones needs it, than its some extra $$$$.
If anyone has any ideas/questions/concerns/comments feel free to ask.
You work???
