Wind druid because in norm and nm you just need to go through the monsters, and in hell you have to use 1 tornado and just keep going past them. Very easy and if you have a grizzly then you also have a tank.

Wind druid is best. Palas and Barbs are not that good b/c of chaos...they'll kill you too easy b/c you can't stop the ww or zeal attack. If you got maiden casted on you in the middle of the attack you're screwed. Poison nec is not good, too b/c there are VERY much psn immunes. Andy has psn ress like hell, and the 2nd act will be the hell for you to rush...

SO

The best imo is a boner nec or a wind druid. A wind druid does cold and phys dmg. So you can beat everything. A boner will have some probs with magical immunes (Right there's no bug like with hammerdin.)

none of those are any good, they are Non-Used because they are Not effective. A javazon with Infinity merc would pwn all of them at rushing, considering it takes about 3 seconds to kill baal in hell. the merc will take care of immunes.

WW Barbs

They have the same FCR as sorc's, so strap on 2 Wizardspikes and an enigma. Bring along a real armor if you don't like using enigma, you can put it in your cube if you need room.

Zealer pally's get ra.ped from Iron Maiden, durring act four, as do WW Barbrians, Too many poison immunes, bone's just suck... and there's very little that can "withstand" the hurricane, however the WW barbarian would do best probably, all except act four, as would the zealer.

Well, for rushing fcr is important therefore a barb with 2 hotos fcr ring and to gloves is damn fast and you can get past chaos easily if you put on a shield and 1 point in berserk.

Amas are the worst rushers because of their low fcr frames.

Kind of reviving an old subject...

A well built boner nec with a good merc (With damage in mind) paired with a clay golem can do pretty well. The only immunes you must worry about are of course the baal mummies, and mabye the mummies in act2, but if you have enigma and a 125 fcr and a good fhr then you can slip by them theoretically, but i've never boner rushed (laugh!)

As for chaos, if you have good teeth (over 1.2k damage) then it shouldn't be much of a problem. Bone prision all the bosses, decrep, cast clay beside them and spirit/spears until he's dead.

Also if you are hosting baal runs for like NM I've seen boner necs cast prision on Baal (preventing anyone without tele from gettnig to him), and then teleport inside after he was dead and pickup whatever was dropped while all the leechers looked on and cried about it. I thought it was a pretty damn good idea.

Wind Druid rock the rushing world, for me and my friends. Norm thrugh Nm takes no time since not one tornado is needed. In hell he is still good considering the low amount of physical immunes. I wish a trap sin would have been up there though. With infinity and enigma they are just as good.

I used to use a boner to rush, and for the immunes you get your merc to kill one OR kill a non-immune and just corpse explode. Clay golem + Merc(Mine had P medi CA, Eth Andies and Buged Eth Sacred fort) and it's gg tank wise. Plus you get a lower dammage(scyth) with level 17medi for the chaos sanc.

Wind druid, they can have hurricane, tornado, summons, and cyclone all up a the same time.
Which is very good, because hurricane, tornado, and summons do damage.
So then there you have 3 things.
And cyclone armor is very helpful for not dying.
You can rush through things like you wouldnt beleive with it.
-----

WW Barbs or ok IMO, WW damage doesnt get that high when it comes to PvM and it usually takes a couple of hits just to get past 1 thing in hell. And Iron maiden... Eww.
I Hate WWing into something and then seeing the barb fall right to
The ground -.-
