Hi everyone, I have been a long time diablo two-player, played from the release of D2 and a bit before with Diablo. I have only played Battle.net and never played single-player, so this is all new to me!

I have a question, is there a Discord group that I could join for extra help with starts and stuff? As I have never speedrun anything before. I have only watched runners on youtube, and up until about a week ago, I never even thought of Diablo as a game to speedrun :).

Cheers DE

Howdy DE. Tagging the super mods who might get you more info. Feel free to reach out on Discord if you have more questions and they don't respond here.

Sorry I missed this somehow.

Almost every top/active speedrunner has a discord. Pick your favorite flavor, go there and start asking questions. Most have some sort of questions or diablo 2 general chat channel where you can ask questions.

I personally think Teo has the most well-rounded starting point for speedrunning (https://pf-mail.wixsite.com/d2speedruns). Some of the talents are different than the current meta (like amazon is poison jav + exploding arrow until lvl 20), but overall a good guide. Other guides can be found https://www.speedrun.com/d2lod/guides.

In this guide section you can find spreadsheets, youtube videos and pictures, so you can pick your favorite way to learn.

My favorite option is just watching speedruns live. Go follow a couple of speedrunners on twitch and wait for them to go live. Or look for live streams here: https://www.speedrun.com/d2r/streams. Ask all the questions you want. Most speedrunners welcome questions and answer them the best they can.

I agree with many of your opinions, but I still think that FIFA 22 is very good.
