terror
dim vision

cloak of shadows/howl or you could just create a character faster than all the possible enemies to make it a completely moot point (Burst of speed and vigor leap to mind).

The way I see it you could go with an assasin burst of speed/cloak of shadow or with a barb increase speed/howl.

Personaly barb would be better since he could dual weld some magic find weapon (6 ist phase blade or 2 alibaba) and have great health with warcries.

Remember that faster run/walk is always better from skill then from items.
So for that kind of build maxing increase speed aint that much of a waste.

I would think that a summon necro would be a good choice. Lots of menions for destriction. You could also use like bonespear if your menions get in trouble.

Maby it is a very stupid isea but it sounds reasonable...

i thought about outrunning monsters. the problem there is that monsters will block chests/items, and around half of the chests in kurast take more than a second or two to open, so you have to wait around and move/kill monsters.

regarding speed, i think teleport or leap attack has to be part of the build since you can tp/jump from lower to kurast to upper without having to find the passage.

having a lot of summons is one idea, but the swarms are phys immune.

What is the point of a kurast chest popper? Confusion for a necro might work too..

Amp/decrep changes that. They don't have much life and they are slow, so the minions won't have many problems to kill them.

I am now starting to have ideas about a barb popper/horker/mfer....

If you could get enigma on him then you could have a cool char. Slight variation to a MFing frenzy barb with dual alis could do this easy. Howl for the chest campers, and horking for everything else if you want MF (dual heartcarvers on switch)
