looking to put together an 8 player challenge run if you don't plan on playing next ladder.

There are some rules to the challenge. The goal will be to defeat ubers at level 90+ as a team.

0: Each player has a different class. or at least no duplicate classes per game.
1: no gold, auto pickup unchecked. no selling items for gold. repairs will have to be done using runes in the cube. no gear from shared stash tabs. all gear must be found by the team.
2: set items only, NO magic/rare/unique items, charms, or jewels. No Runewords but can still use runes and ancient jewel(because its orange) in sockets only. throw out your starting gear before you leave town.
3: Use loot filter to keep from accidentally picking up any items that are not set pieces or runes. no IDing other items. just pretend it never dropped
3: when picking up quest items make sure they do not get equipped. don't equip A2 staff or amulet, use the flail for only smashing the orb in A3.
4: no re-spec. no outside trading. no outside leveling without the team unless its solo.
5: kill ubers with a full set equiped on each character.

since none of the set gear is really that gg, we will share runes and gems so that each class can max out the end game set with sockets and runes/gems. anything past that keep for yourself.
We wont need mercenaries because they can't be revived without gold. and since they cant use runewords they dont provide much value over the alternatives that can be respawned with mana.

This run is meant to be very difficult and provide opportunities for group play to be required. it's going to be hard or impossible to solo and is not meant to be a speed run. it's going to test the players group play and use skills and abilities you wouldn't normally use to compliment the team aspect instead of the usually solo play style.

I have some ideas for the end game builds for each class using the best in slot sets for each class but its going to take some time grinding as a group to find all the set pieces. most of the builds dont require anything above an um rune to cap resinstances. shael runes for IAS,FHR and Perfect diamonds in shields.

Since each player only gets 3 sockets from larsuk we will have to only use the sockets for the end game builds and we will have to share the extras to fill out everything for the ubers fight. for example griswalds set already comes with sockets so that player can socket items for the other chars that need 4 socket quests.

Would welcome anyone with the patience to play on hard mode after playing the game on easy mode for 20 years. I think this should be quite different and provide opportunities for excitement when green items drop. Most classes will need a variety of cathans and angelic rings each as well as different amulets to compliment the leveling/mf builds since there will be no respect and want to keep life as high as possible.

If you are interested send me a PM and we can discuss any of the build or playstyle strategies on discord.

Magic user will have an easy time

Nty

not as easy as you might think. remember there wont be easy access to meditation aura for infinate mana regen. the only source will be the paladin and mana potions found on the ground.

There are ways they can use set gear to leech mana though.

I have a better idea. Only the Merc can do dmg, the characters you play must have both skill slot set to throw.

imagine not playing next ladder

What in the MrLLama ass is going in in here

Someone already did a no item uber run, significantly harder than this

Every set in game is capable of pvm.
It won’t slaughter p8 but it’s more than capable.

Good luck finding full sets for each by crippling your entire team.

I fully admit to not reading the full rule set closely.

all the runs i found on youtube still used gold or didnt kill ubers. im not a streamer, this is just for fun. although i dont care if someone else makes a video about it.

I did consider perhaps allowing set gear from the shared stash tab/other characters but, I felt like most of the gear would be attainable before level 90 anyway.
