Rush guide?

[Barimen]

Recently I found a very nice rushing guide on these forums, but now for the life of me it seems entirely lost, no search will turn it up.

Was it removed or am I just looking in the wrong place, anyone have a link?

I posted something about rushing a while ago. Not sure i would call it a guide though. Its just the way a normaly do it.

I don't know if GameFAQs is considered a competing site or not, but here's (http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/370600/44384) a guide. I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but just quickly reading through it I didn't see anything blatantly wrong.

Looks pretty good to me, couple of points.

1) horadric cube - rusher gives rushee their cube. rushee may as well keep it, council will drop whoever doesn't have one another.
2) ideally rushee enters palace and drops a tp in harem level 1 while rusher locates summoner after getting amulet. This tp is kept active and used after duriel is dead to talk to jehryn.
3) I'd recommend rushee makes sure so they have staff/shaft/amu in inventory not equipped. If they die, for example at summonder, they won't need to get their body back this way.

General.
1)make chars in classic to rush where possible. This avoids the trouble of having to rush act 5. To rush in classic use a cold sorc, blizz or orb doesn't really matter, until act 3 hell. A hammerdin can deal with seis (sorc clears the rest if blizz, tp at centre, rushee tps, rusher switches) and the guaranteed cold+fire immune most safely, quickly and reliably. Neither of these builds are expensive or hard to equip (spectral shard+2 bad fcr rings/amu and a little res+block and you're completely set for sorc for example). An orb/CL would presumably be capable or doing the rush by themselves. Switch to a hammerdin once in LoD, can't remember after exactly which act/quest to upgrade.
2)if rushee dies near boss stay dead until boss is dead.

^for rushes for level one chars all the way to hell hellforge.
