2 accounts setup

Ladder starts

Hypothesis: How would I get started with 2 accounts when ladder starts?

Early game

Mostly SSF (use public game to power level, mostly selling instead of buying, except for cheap key components) cannot proceed directly to end game farming like torch run at this stage. The goal is to build:

1. cRush sorc, if it is not too hard to find party/public game to level (it was really hard to do so in November 2011, though). The goal is to level up as much as possible. No need to get GG gear too early as cRush itself is pretty boring.
2. Meph sorc who's able to quest bug kill Andy/Duriel/Meph.

Account 1

1. classic blizzwall sorc: progress to hell
2. blizzwall sorc: don't kill meph

Account 2

1. bo barb: clear game

Midgame

How profitable is up to mega. I suspect we will see more key farmers and smiters in the next ladder, as they clearly provide way more stable income than high rune farming (1+ Ist per hour).

This is where I'm at right now (I have all the builds below above lv 80).

• Key farming: blizz or lightning sorc
• Cow: lightning amazon > necro > trapsin
• cRush / gRush
• Trav: GF barb or charge hammerdin (not viable with 80 sec game creation limitation)
• Ubers: smiter
• ???

Late game

I suspect Enigma is the cheapest late game tool, followed up by Infinity. Unfortunately I haven't been there yet.

• Bug chaos run
• Baal throne run
• ???

Profit

Pre-ladder economy, mid season, per hour:

• Nik: 60 runs * 1/12 = 5 D keys = 50 p gem
• Crush: 1 - 7 lum + pul = 15 - 105 p gem
