That would be helpful. Maybe a checklist of some sort like "Khazra Den can spawn at x, y, z" locations for that and other mandatory story quests. Key class skills and runes that effect speed, IE: "WD: Horrify w/ Stalker rune; Spirit Walk w/ Jaunt run" levels you get them maybe.

I have to say I believe a reason D3 isn't run constantly is because this game is still heavily played and patched regularly. There isn't a way to glitch out certain sections to lower time that I know of. It's literally "run from here to Act V as fast as you can".

The thing I worry about is because the game is still patched on a regular basis, all it would take is a change to the wrong skill and that classes WR is no longer attainable. Anyway, just typing out loud here.

Thank you for the replies. Although I have a lot of time played, it was mostly in rifts grinding for gear. I will make more attempts and study the tile sets. I know the Witch Doctor skills well, so I will start with him.

I just tried my first attempt at speed running this after watching a vid from TehMaker. I've never tried to speed run anything before. I guess I figured since I had 1300 hours into this game, I must be able to give this a go right? Yeah not so much.

Anyway, I dropped a 55min Act1 and ran out of time tonight getting livesplit setup, etc. How much of a D3 run is just RNG hell? Seems like if you miss a couple caves... run over. In the end I really have a new respect for how difficult speed running is as a whole.
