General F.A.Q.

Q. What is a Rush?
A. Having a character rushed means that a higher level character will "rush" you through the game by beating the bosses for you.

Q. What is a GRush?
A. Almost the same as a normal rush, a G or Glitch Rush is when a higher level character rushes you through the game by beating the bosses, but continues through all 3 difficulties.

Q. What character should I build first?
A. Generally you want to start with a character that can MF and at least normal rush other users. The ideal character for this would be a sorceress (orb or lightning) or paladin (hammerdin).

Q. What is "MFing"?
A. MF stands for Magic Find. The act of finding items in Diablo 2 usually consists of you killing bosses to find items. Usually killing Mephisto in Act 3 and Andarial in Act 1, since they are the easiest. You can also do Chaos Sanctuary (Diablo) in Act 4 or Pindleskin in Act 5 (through the red portal next to Anya).

Q. What items will I need for my characters and how can I obtain them?
A. Post a new topic in this forum (not a reply to this thread) and we will be sure to help you .

You know what, ScytheRexx? They should hire you as main creator of Diablo 3 storyline. Its really what I wish to see, just change the name of the new Archdemon, and it would be completely fantastic.
