@blazer-flamewing heh, looks like it's hard with hypen in nickname, i hope it will work this way (through link), have you had mention notification this way? :)

I actually got so curious i've tested it on Duriel with and without Shock Web and damaging it with Sentry all the time, for more consistnet results i was just standing against wall and overdoing LS's even without them expiring by themselves. I did 10 runs with 1 skill on SW and 1 on LS with (5 here) and without SW (5 here) then same amount of runs with 1 SW and 3 LS. Results are with SW i'm having better avg kill time for every build so i conclude that it works the way you said

assigning stats is weird because if you click too fast it won't register... there's a sweet spot for how fast you can click

Nice, i'll try to find it then, thank you)

Nexthitdelay only applies to the shock webs not the lightning sentries, to my knowledge

As far as i understood after my mini-investigation that NextHitDelay applies to all skills that sharing this property (not applied for Fire Blast for example) per monster after hitting him with one of those skills. So if we hit him with Shock Web (25 frames NextHitDelay), we can't damage him with Sentry (4 frames NextHitDelay if it's Chain Lightning, which i'm not entirely sure) for 25 frames or 1 sec. But i was not testing it by myself directly, so it's prob better to ask other speedrunners especially ones who was testing it. But as i can see in sources below it can be described both ways, that's why it's confusing

Some sources on topic (they are contradictory to each other :) ):

Shenk I avoided killing because staying on p8 for the item drops from chests was better I think I think I tried both killing him and not killing him. I think the amount of potions you need you can get away with not killing him

Ye, looks like it. As i can see you need one full buy and that's it

Appreciate your comment, good luck with the runs!

Thanks, you too)

P.s. Could you tell me how to properly at (@) people here?) Because i was trying to do it, had no autocompletion and had "atted" another guy with "Blazer" nickname (was cut before hyphen)

Good job! :) Glad to see you ran it. I was not expecting that skipping Shenk is even possible, but yeah) Wonder how many resets it took in average (prob will look at your stream to understand this tho :) ). Beautiful Ancients kill btw, i'll yonk this strat for my run too) I actually was running it a bit on background with lightning build too, got 17 mins, now i'm curious what time i can get with your strategies even tho assigning stats is pretty annoying (btw how could you assign them that fast? I feel like i can't do it even if i spam my button, only if i'm using special mode for my mouse to double/triple click, but i was not sure that this is allowed). Also curious about Shock Web, I was thinking that it's not used together with sentries because of NextDelay of Shock Web (25 frames, 1 sec), are you aware of that and if yes then why are you using that? I was wondering if i am missing something

P.S. I saw that you can be at work so it's fine if answer will take a while
