For the fastest solo climb using easy mode (max of 2 mobs) what abilities do you think are the best? Below is what I think would work for the classes I've played, but im still pretty new so im open to suggestions.

Barb, Fighter, Rogue: Power strike & Retribution
Samurai: Power Strike & Multihit

Mage: Powercast & Doublecast (maybe pillar/pierce?)

Some of these aren't 'blue' skill for their class, but I would think the abilities that target a certain row or column are less efficient because only 2 mobs are spawning and often at odd placements to each other.

I go doublestrike + salvation on all melee chars and doublecast + salvation on caster.

Basically, Melee - Heal builds for me:
Stat Armor = Retribution / Salvation
EE Armor = Powerstrike / Salvation (Note: I don't use EE armor, just stating what I would use)

Basically Stat armor Retribution / Powerstrike on Fight / Barb (since 1 of those 2 abilities are blue on any one of those classes)

Powercast + salvation ( depand how good your gear is you can use double cast aswell )


Doing a solo climb as a rogue with full casting
Going to 30~ salvation / 2-3 pts in power rest will be double cast

50 vit / rest int will be my stats

Mostly powerstrike/multistrike

Casters no idea
