Well at least one person understood what I was going for. When I have all
three comps here going and rushing 2 mules with my strafezon (much safer in
chaos sanc), as I get to act5 normal before I punch out of the game to
search for baal questers I will normally do shenk to get the socket quest. I
haven't been doing past act 4 nightmare with the rush, hell hellforge rushes
are still beyond my comfort level, I have done exactly 6 hell hellforges,
all with full chars questing in the past year and a half of playing and the
best rune was a mal, not worth the time and effort to get chars there. I can
do 6 nm hellforge quests in a busy afternoon, with any luck I can cube at
least an um from that.
