Borrowed starting weapon strategy
1 year ago

I came up with an idea to put other class' starting weapon in shared stash so your main speedrun character can pick it up and potentially be faster at few first moments of the speedrun. The amazon's javelin for exaple is a weapon which have a good throwing damage and can speed up den of evil for slower characters. Its repair cost is only 1 gold too. The problem is that the rules say you can not use items found with other characters. In my understanding this rule exists to simply clarify that you can not twink your character (otherwise the speedrun would make not sense). In my perspective the speedruns are about using all resources the game can provide to try to make the best time possible. Being that said why couldnt I start the timer by entering the game with my main character then immediately leave to make amazon and borrow javelin from her? I've worked to obtain such advantage and it costed me time. It is also a thing that everyone could do at the start of their playthrough and the game is simply such made so you can do that without special knowledge.

Let me know your toughts about this :)

For current categories this is not allowed. I think the "selected class must be x" rule covers it already and don't need a change there.

We've been discussing this a lot within the community and seems like runners in general don't want to allow this. Also applies for co-op runs, but there is no specific rule there currently stating this and an update is probably needed.

I would be interested in adding multi-class runs however similar to how slash & stash was built by Ryu in d2lod. I think one way of categorizing multi-class runs is like this:

Main category: Multi-class or Slash & Stash? Sub-categories: All classes, 5-classes, 3-classes, 2-classes Difficulty: Normal/Hell

Goal is to complete normal or hell with multiple classes. Using stashed items you find during the run with other characters is allowed.

For example in Slash & Stash Normal 5-classes the timer would end after you've killed Baal with 5 different classes.
