As mentioned in my 99er write up for Death, I was due for a break from XP runs. I enjoyed the Runeword Bonanza Sept last year after finishing Quinta, so planned to tackle another themed Sept and finish off some other builds that I've meant to try. I had planned a Sept of less common builds, but ended up going with the 2H melee option instead due to the MP groups that @maxicek is hosting. This will be a longer term project, but one I'm looking forward to having in progress for non-tournament questing breaks.
In terms of “rules,” the only one is that each character must equip a 2H melee weapon. As with the Runeword Bonanza Sept, I will keep at least at p3 for Hell when soloing and also plan to full-clear every A85 area when soloing. I’ll post Pat/Mat write ups separately, but track progress and get feedback on build and gear here. I won’t be progressing more than two characters at a time, so doing updates here shouldn’t be too confusing.
A high-level summary of my current build/gear concept for each class is below, along with notation if completed through MP sessions. Feedback is most welcome! Do to limited creativity, character names will be derived from lesser spirits of Greek mythology, with character's name fitting gear or skills in some way.

- Amazon – Ribcracker Passivezon w Faith Rogue: I'm thinking maybe going Fuzzy Dodger, with level 14 Fanatacism, she can use 15 IAS / ED jewel for 8 frames
- Assassin – eBotD Venomous Bearsin w Faith Rogue (Matriarch Praxidike, Level 84, MPed)
- Barbarian – Doombringer WolfBarb w Reaper's Merc: I had planned to go with Oath, but when the Necro dropped Doombringer for Kingslayer, I'm probably going to use Doombringer here because it's a cool sword
- Druid – eTomby Flaming Mauler (Aldur, Level 14, A1 Normal): eTomby should be perfect for this build
- Necromancer – 'Kingslayer' Lord of Mages Meleemancer w Harmony/Faith Rogue (Patriarch Alastor, Level 85, MPed)
- Paladin – Insight Stave Abbott with Faith Rogue: I've always wanted to try one of these, but will gear him toward damage output rather than full defensive
- Sorceress – 'Doom' Feral Axe Enchantress: not set on weapon, but Doom feels pretty handy for crowd control allowing Might Merc
