I started my Cube Grail quest on April 21st of this year. Seven months later the quest is not yet accomplished, but along the journey I completed my first ever Sept. I'd like to share a report here for each, in the order in which I played them.

Thoughts:
My only untwinked character. Of course, necessarily so because I started the project with him! He's not exactly a "fishymancer;" I chose instead to focus on skeletal mages rather than boost his amplify damage curse. By the time Swamp finished his fights with hell-difficulty hell bovines, he had helped me complete 84 of the 117 enumerated Horadric Cube recipes.
I repeatedly ran several targets with him (such as Countess, Andy, Lower Kurast) in all three difficulties, as well as a few Pit runs in hell difficulty. He had some amazing luck finding some key set and unique items, including a Tarnhelm skull cap, a Peasant Crown war hat, a Harlequin Crest shako, a Guillaume's Face winged helm, a Gerke's Sanctuary pavise, and a Raven Frost ring. These would each be twinkie-shared among several succeeding characters.

Thoughts:
After the skeleton summoner, I figured this build would be almost as easy to push through the game while farming for stash-worthy items. I really enjoy pulling up hydras around enemies; although each is stationary and temporary, they're the closest thing to a "summoned minion" among all of the sorceress skills.
Even after mat-ting her, I kept using her to run NM Countess and Andy. I think by now I have made her teleport through the catacombs at least 1500 times. She did get one Stone of Jordan unique ring, after running /p7 NM Andy about 700 times. I'll probably keep doing those runs now and then, unless some other character happens to get a second SoJ first. She also ran hell difficulty Mephisto and Diablo about a dozen times each in order to get essences, and she also did a few hundred /p7 runs in hell Lower Kurast, popping chests for runes and a few more unique and set items. But I think her best finds while she quested were a Stormshield unique monarch and a Rainbow Facet unique jewel. She also helped me check off another 12 cube recipes. [edited: spelling]

Thoughts:
After the skeleton summoner, I figured this build would be almost as easy to push through the game while farming for stash-worthy items. I really enjoy pulling up hydras around enemies; although each is stationary and temporary, they're the closest thing to a "summoned minion" among all of the sorceress skills.
Even after mat-ting her, I kept using her to run NM Countess and Andy. I think by now I have made her teleport through the catacombs at least 1500 times. She did get one Stone of Jordan unique ring, after running /p7 NM Andy about 700 times. I'll probably keep doing those runs now and then, unless some other character happens to get a second SoJ first. She also ran hell difficulty Mephisto and Diablo about a dozen times each in order to get essences, and she also did a few hundred /p7 runs in hell Lower Kurast, popping chests for runes and a few more unique and set items. But I think her best finds while she quested were a Stormshield unique monarch and a Rainbow Facet unique jewel. She also helped me check off another 12 cube recipes. [edited: spelling]

Thoughts:
Once she reached level 30, I was surprised at how quickly she was able to advance through each quest. She helped me complete four more Horadric Cube recipes. She couldn't do hell LK runs as quickly as the teleporting sorceress, but she did between 200 and 300 of those anyway. She wasn't as efficient as I had hoped with farming hell cows or Arcane Sancuary. I think she needs more lightning synergies, and better yet some gear which lowers enemy lightning resistance, in order to get a worthwhile killing speed in the Moo Moo Farm or the AS. Regardless, I don't regret spending her skill points in Valkyrie and Decoy minions instead of lightning synergies.

Thoughts:
Once she reached level 30, I was surprised at how quickly she was able to advance through each quest. She helped me complete four more Horadric Cube recipes. She couldn't do hell LK runs as quickly as the teleporting sorceress, but she did between 200 and 300 of those anyway. She wasn't as efficient as I had hoped with farming hell cows or Arcane Sancuary. I think she needs more lightning synergies, and better yet some gear which lowers enemy lightning resistance, in order to get a worthwhile killing speed in the Moo Moo Farm or the AS. Regardless, I don't regret spending her skill points in Valkyrie and Decoy minions instead of lightning synergies.

Thoughts:
Although I had played trapper assassins before, I had never played a dancer. I had read in guides that they need good gear to succeed, and those guides were probably referring to high-end elite boots for effective kicking attacks. I had found plenty of nice rare, craftable magic, and imbue-able mirrored and scarabshell boots, enough that I think this is a build that shouldn't be too hard to achieve untwinked. She's a pretty effective hell Countess/Andy/LK/Shenk/Eldritch/Pindleskin runner, and I continue to use her to farm these.
She helped complete four more cube recipes. I think her best find was an Arreat's Face, which my barbarian would end up wearing a few short weeks later.

Thoughts:
Although I had played trapper assassins before, I had never played a dancer. I had read in guides that they need good gear to succeed, and those guides were probably referring to high-end elite boots for effective kicking attacks. I had found plenty of nice rare, craftable magic, and imbue-able mirrored and scarabshell boots, enough that I think this is a build that shouldn't be too hard to achieve untwinked. She's a pretty effective hell Countess/Andy/LK/Shenk/Eldritch/Pindleskin runner, and I continue to use her to farm these.
She helped complete four more cube recipes. I think her best find was an Arreat's Face, which my barbarian would end up wearing a few short weeks later.

Mercenary Gear:
Vampire Gaze (unique) Grim Helm
Skin of the Flayed One (unique) Demonhide Armor
Woestave (unique ethereal) Great Poleaxe (socketed with Amn)
Thoughts:
I chose to focus on Fist of the Heavens, because I had achieved patriarch before with that skill many years ago. I have never successfully done that with any other paladin build (yet). I observe in my reading here that the most popular "cookie-cutter" builds for paladins focus on either Zeal or Blessed Hammer, but I had tried them and found both pretty frustrating, so I must have been playing them wrong. I also knew that I could do Moz runs (mausoleum) pretty efficiently with a heavily synergized Holy Bolt attack and a point in Sanctuary, and I wanted to throw my hat into this years Magic Find Olympics, so that was another incentive to build an FoH templar. As it turned out, he wasn't as efficient as I remembered, so I created and quickly leveled a blizzard sorceress, who was a much more efficient Ancient Tunnels runner. I think Uncia only found one qualifier in that MFO.
To engage lightning immune enemies, or to fight when his mana was depleted, Uncia used Zeal with a Zakarum's Hand scepter on switch, with either a Might aura (to increase physical damage by about fifty percent) or a Redemption or Meditation aura (to replenish mana before switching back to summoning lightning fists). The most useful properties of his Zakarum's Hand in these situations were its Ignore Target Defense and its 8% mana-leech. The mercenary's gear, especially the upped ethereal Woestave, was fantastic for both questing and boss fights, but he could have been even better if he had something to provide crushing blows.

Thoughts:
I chose to focus on Fist of the Heavens, because I had achieved patriarch before with that skill many years ago. I have never successfully done that with any other paladin build (yet). I observe in my reading here that the most popular "cookie-cutter" builds for paladins focus on either Zeal or Blessed Hammer, but I had tried them and found both pretty frustrating, so I must have been playing them wrong. I also knew that I could do Moz runs (mausoleum) pretty efficiently with a heavily synergized Holy Bolt attack and a point in Sanctuary, and I wanted to throw my hat into this years Magic Find Olympics, so that was another incentive to build an FoH templar. As it turned out, he wasn't as efficient as I remembered, so I created and quickly leveled a blizzard sorceress, who was a much more efficient Ancient Tunnels runner. I think Uncia only found one qualifier in that MFO.
To engage lightning immune enemies, or to fight when his mana was depleted, Uncia used Zeal with a Zakarum's Hand scepter on switch, with either a Might aura (to increase physical damage by about fifty percent) or a Redemption or Meditation aura (to replenish mana before switching back to summoning lightning fists). The most useful properties of his Zakarum's Hand in these situations were its Ignore Target Defense and its 8% mana-leech. The mercenary's gear, especially the upped ethereal Woestave, was fantastic for both questing and boss fights, but he could have been even better if he had something to provide crushing blows.
Uncia completed two more of the remaining cube recipes.

Patriarch Qursh - Berzerker
Started 15 Sep 2020
Finished 10 Nov 2020
Focused Skills: 20 Berzerk, 20 Howl, 20 Shout, 20 Axe Mastery, 4 Find Item
One-pointers: Bash, Stun, Concentrate, Increased Stamina, Increased Speed, Iron Skin, Natural Resistance, Taunt, Battle Cry, Battle Orders (!), Battle Command, Find Potion, Grim Ward
Equipment:
Arreat's Face (unique) slayer guard
Duriel's Shell (unique) cuirass
Immortal King's Forge (set) war gauntlets
Immortal King's Detail (set) war belt
Immortal King's Pillar (set) war boots
Nagelring (unique)
"Wraith Grasp" (rare) ring (Chain Lightning proc, resists, MDR)
"Order Eye" (rare) amulet (skills, cold damage, fire resist, MF)
Heart Carver (unique) rondel (x2)
Hellslayer (unique) decaptitator
In the stash, he also kept a stack of Gimmershred unique flying axes and a Whitstan's Guard unique round shield (socketed with a PDiamond), which he pulled out just one time to fight a tough unique boss that was both stone skin and immune to magic attacks. (Sorry, but I can't remember what was that monster.)
Mercenary Equipment:
Guillaume's Face (set) winged helm
Guardian Angel (unique) templar coat
Hone Sundan (unique) yari - oh noes, I forgot to put anything in its sockets!
Thoughts:
I figured if I was going to try berzerk, I would go completely berzerk with maxed synergies and a maxed weapon mastery too. I highly recommend it. I was pretty sure I could neglect pumping Battle Orders and still cope, and I was right. All those points in Shout meant that I could go several minutes before I needed to recast BO/BC, and a point in Find Potion with a couple of Heart Carver knives meant that I could drink lots of red potions without having to shop for them.
I really should have put at least one amn rune in the mercenary's weapon, but it turned out that he handled himself just fine without it.
I didn't know at first which weapon mastery I would choose for Qursh, but after my other patriarchs and the blizzard sorceress had found all four unique elite two-handed axe weapons (Ethereal Edge, Messerschmidt's Reaver, Hellslayer, and Executioner's Justice), I committed to Axe Mastery so I could test-drive all four of them. They were all fun and effective. Hellslayer turned out to be my favorite, and I finished most of acts 4 and 5 with that weapon. Against all but one of the magic immunes, I used the same weapons, but switched to using the Concentrate skill, which worked out just fine.
I didn't use any new cube recipes with Qursh, but I did get an unexpected jackpot with him. I had /players7 active when I started Act 5, and shortly after fighting Shenk in the bloody foothills, a spear cat coughed up a Zod rune! I'm glad Qursh could handle a high players setting in hell difficulty, because I'm not sure whether such a lucky drop would have happened with a lower /players settting.

In the stash, he also kept a stack of Gimmershred unique flying axes and a Whitstan's Guard unique round shield (socketed with a PDiamond), which he pulled out just one time to fight a tough unique boss that was both stone skin and immune to magic attacks. (Sorry, but I can't remember what was that monster.)

Hone Sundan (unique) yari - oh noes, I forgot to put anything in its sockets!
Thoughts:
I figured if I was going to try berzerk, I would go completely berzerk with maxed synergies and a maxed weapon mastery too. I highly recommend it. I was pretty sure I could neglect pumping Battle Orders and still cope, and I was right. All those points in Shout meant that I could go several minutes before I needed to recast BO/BC, and a point in Find Potion with a couple of Heart Carver knives meant that I could drink lots of red potions without having to shop for them.
I really should have put at least one amn rune in the mercenary's weapon, but it turned out that he handled himself just fine without it.
I didn't know at first which weapon mastery I would choose for Qursh, but after my other patriarchs and the blizzard sorceress had found all four unique elite two-handed axe weapons (Ethereal Edge, Messerschmidt's Reaver, Hellslayer, and Executioner's Justice), I committed to Axe Mastery so I could test-drive all four of them. They were all fun and effective. Hellslayer turned out to be my favorite, and I finished most of acts 4 and 5 with that weapon. Against all but one of the magic immunes, I used the same weapons, but switched to using the Concentrate skill, which worked out just fine.
I didn't use any new cube recipes with Qursh, but I did get an unexpected jackpot with him. I had /players7 active when I started Act 5, and shortly after fighting Shenk in the bloody foothills, a spear cat coughed up a Zod rune! I'm glad Qursh could handle a high players setting in hell difficulty, because I'm not sure whether such a lucky drop would have happened with a lower /players settting.
I'm now thirteen months into my Cube Grail project. I just finished a second sept, with just four difficult cube recipes left to go.

Thoughts:
I had never played a vengeance paladin before. Rather than an "avenger" with a conviction aura, I wanted him to max and use the defensive resistance auras that synergize vengeance. Most of the time, he had theSanctuary Salvation aura active, except a few times when he switched to Resist Fire or Resist Lightning to get some extra safety to that element. The Hone Sundan is a higher-damaging weapon, but he only used it occasionally in hell difficulty; instead, he mostly swung the Astreon's hammer-scepter, blocked a lot with the HoZ shield, and tried to attract monsters attention to keep the heat off of his cold-arrow Rogue mercenary Olena. In late Hell difficulty, she was very generous with Inner Sight. Each time she cast that spell, Peavy's maxed Vengeance provided enough attack rating that missed attacks were very infrequent. She was also generous with cold arrows, and those coupled with her Riphook helped to slow enemies down a lot.
I forgot to swap out his Raven Frost ring for something else after he got the "cannot be frozen" attribute from his belt.
Peavy checked off two high-rune upgrade recipes.

Thoughts:
I had never played a vengeance paladin before. Rather than an "avenger" with a conviction aura, I wanted him to max and use the defensive resistance auras that synergize vengeance. Most of the time, he had the
I forgot to swap out his Raven Frost ring for something else after he got the "cannot be frozen" attribute from his belt.

Thoughts:
Fire druids are known to progress pretty rapidly through normal and nightmare difficulties, but in hell they have a slow reputation. This one did better in hell than I expected. Molten Boulders, Volcanoes, and the mercenary worked well enough against fire immunes, and Oleum even occasionally swung his weapon at some of them between spellcast timeouts. With the crossbow and hurricane/arctic blast (+skills brought each of these up to skill level 12), Oleum even whittled down and defeated a few FI/PI monsters. He recast Cyclone Armor quite a lot. It could absorb over two hundred elemental damage, helping a lot to keep such damage away from his red bulb. Without spending a single skill point in the summoning tree, his pelt still provided a reasonably sturdy solar creeper to slink around, eat corpses, and distract monsters.
This was one of the most fun characters I have ever played. He isn't a very efficient "burger flipper," but I understand that he would be able to run the cow level much quicker if he ever gets and equips gear that reduces enemy fire resistance.

Mercenary gear:
Crown of Thieves (unique) grand crown
Duriel's Shell (unique) cuirass
Hone Sundan (unique ethereal) yari (socketed with one amn and two shael runes)
Thoughts:
Noxio was another efficient quester. I'm happy that I chose to max the Lower Resist curse. Despite that it suffers decreasing returns with higher skill levels, its duration and area of effect were very pleasant. Against poison immune monsters that Lower Resist could not break, melee damage from Poison Dagger, and from Mizan the holy-freeze-aura mercenary, were still effective enough to prevail. He switched his weapon/shield to cast a decent Bone Armor that could absorb well over a hundred damage.
One of his interesting battles was in the Halls of Vaught. Poison Explosion is mana-cheap and rapid to cast, and helped to clean away corpses before Nihlathak could try to explode them under Noxio or Mizan.
I used him to farm for magic items or runes, and found that he is reasonably effective in The Pit, the Arcane Sanctuary, Travincal, and the cow level. However, I found him quite busy and involved to play, with a lot of positioning for effective poison nova squirts, and frequent switching between skills. I should practice more, to better master his frantic hot-key selections.
He found another high rune that let him complete another rune upgrade recipe.

Thoughts:
I did not intend to build another lightning fury amazon, but I'm too old and curmudgeonly to fiddle with respecs, and so I built another specifically to farm cows and arcane sanctuary in the recent RFL. With her high resists and also the lightning absorb on both her headgear and belt, the lightning spires in the arcane sanctuary actually healed her every time they sent lightning through her. Her Jab skill was brought up to level ten with +skills, and against lightning immunes, jabbing was very effective. She found her second stack of Titan's Revenge javelins shortly before she achieved Matriarch.
She also found five high runes during the tournament, but not enough to check of any new recipes.

Thoughts:
I did not intend to build another lightning fury amazon, but I'm too old and curmudgeonly to fiddle with respecs, and so I built another specifically to farm cows and arcane sanctuary in the recent RFL. With her high resists and also the lightning absorb on both her headgear and belt, the lightning spires in the arcane sanctuary actually healed her every time they sent lightning through her. Her Jab skill was brought up to level ten with +skills, and against lightning immunes, jabbing was very effective. She found her second stack of Titan's Revenge javelins shortly before she achieved Matriarch.
She also found five high runes during the tournament, but not enough to check of any new recipes.

Thoughts:
Since I found every item in Natalya's set, I decided to put them on Mafic, and the set worked pretty well for a fire trapper. I like the Wake of Inferno skill. I must have a disturbed sadistic mind, because I enjoy watching enemies' hit points smoothly burn away, instead of reduce in successive instant bursts of damage as happens with most other fire skills.
I seldom used Fire Blast, but when I did, I tended to use it merely to add supplemental fire damage after five stationary traps were deployed. Thus, rather than max it, I put just enough in it as a synergy to bring Death Sentry's ammunition count from five up to ten. Then I put leftover points into Lightning Sentry, so that Death Sentry (and Lightning Sentry as well) could serve as reasonably hurty backup trap attackers against fire immunes.
I think this is the first time I ever matted an assassin with no shadow minion. Even though her traps are kind of like minions that dish out damage (but don't take any), I confess it's a bit of a confidence booster, that I could learn to drive a somewhat fragile hero with no "meat shield" other than the mercenary to distract and draw bad guys away from the main character.

Thoughts:
Since I found every item in Natalya's set, I decided to put them on Mafic, and the set worked pretty well for a fire trapper. I like the Wake of Inferno skill. I must have a disturbed sadistic mind, because I enjoy watching enemies' hit points smoothly burn away, instead of reduce in successive instant bursts of damage as happens with most other fire skills.
I seldom used Fire Blast, but when I did, I tended to use it merely to add supplemental fire damage after five stationary traps were deployed. Thus, rather than max it, I put just enough in it as a synergy to bring Death Sentry's ammunition count from five up to ten. Then I put leftover points into Lightning Sentry, so that Death Sentry (and Lightning Sentry as well) could serve as reasonably hurty backup trap attackers against fire immunes.
I think this is the first time I ever matted an assassin with no shadow minion. Even though her traps are kind of like minions that dish out damage (but don't take any), I confess it's a bit of a confidence booster, that I could learn to drive a somewhat fragile hero with no "meat shield" other than the mercenary to distract and draw bad guys away from the main character.

Thoughts:
The name Koine is derived from a Greek word meaning "common," as in "common language." I flirted with the idea of building him as a Hoplite-themed ancient Greek warrior, with a melee javelin and a hyperion shield. But for now, a sword-and-shield build was easier for me to manage. I chose to make a stun barbarian for novelty's sake, because so few players have reported patting one of these. I maxed out each and every one of Stun's displayed synergies, and then put most of the leftover points into his weapon mastery. This is yet another of my barbarians that only put one point in Battle Orders. He also didn't use Battle Command, except for a few levels in nightmare difficulty, during which he wore a helmet that granted that skill. He could never hork any corpse unless he switched to his backup weapons.
Stun duration is accurately displayed in the skill tree. Enemies stay paralyzed during the entire advertised stun duration, regardless of difficulty (normal/NM/hell). Sometimes I just made Koine walk around a pack of monsters, stun each one-by-one, and then continue to walk around and re-apply the stun paralysis to each until the mercenary felled them all. Even champion and unique bosses can be stunned, although they seem to be unfazed by about nineteen out of every twenty attempts to stun them.
Koine mostly used Stun and Bash throughout normal difficulty, and some of nightmare too. After big investments in War Cry, his singing paralyzed nearby enemies for almost four or five seconds, and Stun duration shot up to ten seconds. The single point in Berserk served to handle physical immunities. (Fortunately, Stun could still paralyze PIs, despite that it could not cause them physical damage.)
Concentrate was maxed last, and it helped improve Stun's chance-to-hit. After Concentrate was maxed, it caused a little more damage per strike and had a slightly better chance-to-hit than either Bash or Stun, so in hell difficulty Concentrate became the primary attack against stunned victims. (Concentrate gets a weaker synergy boost from Bash than from its other damage synergy, but the boost is enough to make it hit just slightly harder than either Stun or Bash.) One of Concentrate's best perks was its defense bonus. Koine already enjoyed a decent defense rating, due to his Leviathan/Demonhorn's Edge/IK-trio, and to one skill point each in Iron Skin and Shout. Moreover, during every Concentrate swing animation, Koine's defense shot up to nearly twenty thousand, and when bad guys recovered out of their stun hazes, they still had slim chances to land blows on him.
Throughout hell difficulty, he swapped swords a lot. BKTG was his hardest hitter, and sometimes he switched to Djinn Slayer against things that weren't fire immune, Lightsabre against things that weren't lightning immune, or his very fast rare falcata against things that weren't cold immune. I forgot to fetch crushing-blow gear out of my GoMule stashes for Koine's boss fights, so those skirmishes took some extra time to complete, but he was still able to bring each boss down without too much trouble.
I think a mildly determined player could do very well untwinked with a stunning barbarian. However, I probably would not recommend a stun paralyzer like mine to a new player, because I still think that player would have an easier time learning how to beat hell difficulty with a build focused on a more popular combat skill choice, such as berserk, concentrate, frenzy, or whirlwind.

Thoughts:
The name Koine is derived from a Greek word meaning "common," as in "common language." I flirted with the idea of building him as a Hoplite-themed ancient Greek warrior, with a melee javelin and a hyperion shield. But for now, a sword-and-shield build was easier for me to manage. I chose to make a stun barbarian for novelty's sake, because so few players have reported patting one of these. I maxed out each and every one of Stun's displayed synergies, and then put most of the leftover points into his weapon mastery. This is yet another of my barbarians that only put one point in Battle Orders. He also didn't use Battle Command, except for a few levels in nightmare difficulty, during which he wore a helmet that granted that skill. He could never hork any corpse unless he switched to his backup weapons.
Stun duration is accurately displayed in the skill tree. Enemies stay paralyzed during the entire advertised stun duration, regardless of difficulty (normal/NM/hell). Sometimes I just made Koine walk around a pack of monsters, stun each one-by-one, and then continue to walk around and re-apply the stun paralysis to each until the mercenary felled them all. Even champion and unique bosses can be stunned, although they seem to be unfazed by about nineteen out of every twenty attempts to stun them.
Koine mostly used Stun and Bash throughout normal difficulty, and some of nightmare too. After big investments in War Cry, his singing paralyzed nearby enemies for almost four or five seconds, and Stun duration shot up to ten seconds. The single point in Berserk served to handle physical immunities. (Fortunately, Stun could still paralyze PIs, despite that it could not cause them physical damage.)
Concentrate was maxed last, and it helped improve Stun's chance-to-hit. After Concentrate was maxed, it caused a little more damage per strike and had a slightly better chance-to-hit than either Bash or Stun, so in hell difficulty Concentrate became the primary attack against stunned victims. (Concentrate gets a weaker synergy boost from Bash than from its other damage synergy, but the boost is enough to make it hit just slightly harder than either Stun or Bash.) One of Concentrate's best perks was its defense bonus. Koine already enjoyed a decent defense rating, due to his Leviathan/Demonhorn's Edge/IK-trio, and to one skill point each in Iron Skin and Shout. Moreover, during every Concentrate swing animation, Koine's defense shot up to nearly twenty thousand, and when bad guys recovered out of their stun hazes, they still had slim chances to land blows on him.
Throughout hell difficulty, he swapped swords a lot. BKTG was his hardest hitter, and sometimes he switched to Djinn Slayer against things that weren't fire immune, Lightsabre against things that weren't lightning immune, or his very fast rare falcata against things that weren't cold immune. I forgot to fetch crushing-blow gear out of my GoMule stashes for Koine's boss fights, so those skirmishes took some extra time to complete, but he was still able to bring each boss down without too much trouble.
I think a mildly determined player could do very well untwinked with a stunning barbarian. However, I probably would not recommend a stun paralyzer like mine to a new player, because I still think that player would have an easier time learning how to beat hell difficulty with a build focused on a more popular combat skill choice, such as berserk, concentrate, frenzy, or whirlwind.

Thoughts:
Xylia was the main star that earned a top-ten ranking in last year's Magic Find Olympics. I had read several recommendations to use a single (cold) tree Blizzard sorceress to run Ancient Tunnels, so I heeded the advice. It was very good advice. She managed to find one of the most coveted TC87 items: a Death's Fathom, which she would later use to defeat Hell Baal and finally achieve her matriarch title. (Well, actually, she used the DF just through the minion waves. After Lister, she switched back to her Blade of Ali Baba just in case Baal would be generous, but alas, he didn't drop any elite uniques nor set items.) Anyway, that elite dimensional shard orb added 16% to her cold skill damage. That is comparable to more than three synergy points worth of added cold damage to her Blizzard spells! After the MFO, she continued to do several casual MF runs, including a few hundred NM Andy runs which netted one of my Stones of Jordan.
I waited quite a while to advance her beyond the Lost City and Ancient Tunnels of hell difficulty act 2. I still wasn't confident that she and her mercenary could handle some of the cold immune monsters that she would have to face (such as the snake demons guarding the Viper Amulet, the thrashing tree monsters in act 3's jungles, etc.) Also, I wasn't confident in my ability to teleport her around and out of harms way without risking death and its subsequent dreadfully scary corpse retrieval sorties. Just to get her to the ancient tunnels, several deaths had cost her a fair amount of gold and experience already. But with some practice, I learned that Xylia could coax cold-immune monsters to follow to her toward some advantageous place. Then she could cast Telekinesis to knock back and pin a monster against a wall or obstacle, and she could repeatedly recast TK fast enough to put a monster into its hit-recovery animation pretty consistently. As long as there weren't too many other monsters nearby trying to wallop on the mercenary, Telekinesis gave him some safety and breathing space to work on and kill that monster. So with this divide-and-conquer strategy, she didn't have to teleport beyond nearly as many cold-immunes as I thought she might. It has given me some confidence that I someday I might be able to mat another single-tree sorceress, or maybe even an energy shield build.
Xylia advanced from about level 86 to level 90 during the MFO, and she was still level 90 when she beat hell Baal. I thought she might get to level 91, but after completing a couple of tours of the hell cow level, she is still just over three million experience short of that milestone.
I used Xylia to complete what I thought would be the most difficult cube recipe: she used skulls and a Stone of Jordan to reroll a rare tiara into a higher-level rare tiara - which I then decided not to use because I later found something better!

Thoughts:
Xylia was the main star that earned a top-ten ranking in last year's Magic Find Olympics. I had read several recommendations to use a single (cold) tree Blizzard sorceress to run Ancient Tunnels, so I heeded the advice. It was very good advice. She managed to find one of the most coveted TC87 items: a Death's Fathom, which she would later use to defeat Hell Baal and finally achieve her matriarch title. (Well, actually, she used the DF just through the minion waves. After Lister, she switched back to her Blade of Ali Baba just in case Baal would be generous, but alas, he didn't drop any elite uniques nor set items.) Anyway, that elite dimensional shard orb added 16% to her cold skill damage. That is comparable to more than three synergy points worth of added cold damage to her Blizzard spells! After the MFO, she continued to do several casual MF runs, including a few hundred NM Andy runs which netted one of my Stones of Jordan.
I waited quite a while to advance her beyond the Lost City and Ancient Tunnels of hell difficulty act 2. I still wasn't confident that she and her mercenary could handle some of the cold immune monsters that she would have to face (such as the snake demons guarding the Viper Amulet, the thrashing tree monsters in act 3's jungles, etc.) Also, I wasn't confident in my ability to teleport her around and out of harms way without risking death and its subsequent dreadfully scary corpse retrieval sorties. Just to get her to the ancient tunnels, several deaths had cost her a fair amount of gold and experience already. But with some practice, I learned that Xylia could coax cold-immune monsters to follow to her toward some advantageous place. Then she could cast Telekinesis to knock back and pin a monster against a wall or obstacle, and she could repeatedly recast TK fast enough to put a monster into its hit-recovery animation pretty consistently. As long as there weren't too many other monsters nearby trying to wallop on the mercenary, Telekinesis gave him some safety and breathing space to work on and kill that monster. So with this divide-and-conquer strategy, she didn't have to teleport beyond nearly as many cold-immunes as I thought she might. It has given me some confidence that I someday I might be able to mat another single-tree sorceress, or maybe even an energy shield build.
Xylia advanced from about level 86 to level 90 during the MFO, and she was still level 90 when she beat hell Baal. I thought she might get to level 91, but after completing a couple of tours of the hell cow level, she is still just over three million experience short of that milestone.
I used Xylia to complete what I thought would be the most difficult cube recipe: she used skulls and a Stone of Jordan to reroll a rare tiara into a higher-level rare tiara - which I then decided not to use because I later found something better!
After another ten and a half months, I completed a third sept, and also completed the entire cube grail project.

Thoughts:
My favorite character class is druid, and my favorite druids are hunter summoners. I built a "tank-hunter" druid many years ago on a Battle.net realm, and I was happy to build another in single player. I call this build a "tank hunter" because all of his summons are tanks: a Solar Creeper has more life than any other vine, a Spirit of Barbs has more life than any other phantom, and the life "mastery" synergy bonus from maxed Dire Wolf gives a grizzly many thousands of life points. Lots of life means that each summon can take more damage and stay alive a little longer.
Jumby only needed mana to summon. I named the Solar Creeper vine "Reddy," because he has a red hue in his minion portrait. Reddy's primary purposes were to distract enemies and dispose of corpses. Any time I needed Reddy to clean up corpses, to keep them from being revived or otherwise used against me, Jumby would recast another Spirit of Barbs (or Grizzly or Dire Wolf), and instantly the vine would get to work consuming corpses to replenish Jumby's blue mana bulb. I named the Spirit of Barbs "Barbie," and her primary purpose was to merely distract monters and keep the pressure off of Jumby and the other minions; however, Barbie's melee-damage-returning aura turned out to be reasonably effective against a few of the monsters in hell difficulty, including Duriel, Lister, "frenzytaur" minotaurs, and "blunderbore" urdars and maulers. I often kept Barbie summoned when fighting just about any melee attacker, but sometimes I would summon a Heart of Wolverine (I named her "Candy") instead of Barbie in situations for which I judged that improved attack rating and damage were better than just having a ghostly tank take damage, and in the cases of physical melee damage, magnify it a little bit and return it back.
The Witchwild String is my favorite hunter's bow. It transforms normal attacks into level 20 Magic Arrow attacks, which means that it never depletes ammunition and it provides its own PI solution. I did encounter a couple of unique monsters that were immune to both physical and magic damage, and might-mercenary Kasim could handle those by jabbing them with fire and lightning damage from his unique javelins.
He was great fun to quest with, but like most summoners, he's quite mediocre at rerunning areas. I still occasionally use him to rerun hell Countess for runes. He's deliberately slow at those runs, but still kind of relaxing.
Jumby was the lucky character that helped transmute two Sur runes into a Ber.

Thoughts:
My favorite character class is druid, and my favorite druids are hunter summoners. I built a "tank-hunter" druid many years ago on a Battle.net realm, and I was happy to build another in single player. I call this build a "tank hunter" because all of his summons are tanks: a Solar Creeper has more life than any other vine, a Spirit of Barbs has more life than any other phantom, and the life "mastery" synergy bonus from maxed Dire Wolf gives a grizzly many thousands of life points. Lots of life means that each summon can take more damage and stay alive a little longer.
Jumby only needed mana to summon. I named the Solar Creeper vine "Reddy," because he has a red hue in his minion portrait. Reddy's primary purposes were to distract enemies and dispose of corpses. Any time I needed Reddy to clean up corpses, to keep them from being revived or otherwise used against me, Jumby would recast another Spirit of Barbs (or Grizzly or Dire Wolf), and instantly the vine would get to work consuming corpses to replenish Jumby's blue mana bulb. I named the Spirit of Barbs "Barbie," and her primary purpose was to merely distract monters and keep the pressure off of Jumby and the other minions; however, Barbie's melee-damage-returning aura turned out to be reasonably effective against a few of the monsters in hell difficulty, including Duriel, Lister, "frenzytaur" minotaurs, and "blunderbore" urdars and maulers. I often kept Barbie summoned when fighting just about any melee attacker, but sometimes I would summon a Heart of Wolverine (I named her "Candy") instead of Barbie in situations for which I judged that improved attack rating and damage were better than just having a ghostly tank take damage, and in the cases of physical melee damage, magnify it a little bit and return it back.
The Witchwild String is my favorite hunter's bow. It transforms normal attacks into level 20 Magic Arrow attacks, which means that it never depletes ammunition and it provides its own PI solution. I did encounter a couple of unique monsters that were immune to both physical and magic damage, and might-mercenary Kasim could handle those by jabbing them with fire and lightning damage from his unique javelins.
He was great fun to quest with, but like most summoners, he's quite mediocre at rerunning areas. I still occasionally use him to rerun hell Countess for runes. He's deliberately slow at those runs, but still kind of relaxing.
Jumby was the lucky character that helped transmute two Sur runes into a Ber.

Thoughts:
A wolf-barb turned out to be just as cool and fun as everyone said it would be. I spent no points at all in combat skills, in anticipation of using Feral Rage as the only combat skill once the barbarian reached level 79.
I like the faster run/walk provided by continued Feral Rage attacks, and the extra defense provided by Shout and Iron Skin, but I don't like the side-effect of dropping defense while running. By maxing Increased Speed, his walking speed was almost as fast as most character's running speed, and he never lost his defense rating while always walking.

Mercenary gear:
Rockstopper (unique) sallet (socketed with PTopaz)
Skin of the Flayed One (unique) demonhide armor

Thoughts:
A wolf-barb turned out to be just as cool and fun as everyone said it would be. I spent no points at all in combat skills, in anticipation of using Feral Rage as the only combat skill once the barbarian reached level 79.
I like the faster run/walk provided by continued Feral Rage attacks, and the extra defense provided by Shout and Iron Skin, but I don't like the side-effect of dropping defense while running. By maxing Increased Speed, his walking speed was almost as fast as most character's running speed, and he never lost his defense rating while always walking.

Thoughts:
After achieving matriarch, it didn't take long to discover that she is my most efficient and reliable Baal runner, and so far my most effective magic item finder. She can teleport quickly to the Throne of Destruction, clear the throne room, and then just hang out on Baal's pedestal waiting for minion waves. A pattern that seems to work well is to spam Chain Lightning to quickly take out the first two waves, then drink antidote potions to recover from getting poisoned during the second wave. Next, she switches Frozen Orb, and she Teleports about the throne room trying to carefully aim and take out the third wave's council monsters. Finally, it's back to the pedestal for the rest, usually using Chain Lightning for the fourth wave and then Lightning for Lister and his minions, and also Lightning to finally finish off Baal in the Worldstone Chamber.
Many months after becoming matriarch, Hulda found a crucial Ber rune in the Throne of Destruction, during one of her casual MF runs. That lucky rune drop accelerated the completion of the cube recipe grail.

Thoughts:
I don't know why, but paladin zealots just aren't my favorites to play, I finished this one in less than a month, mostly motivated to hurry and be done with him, so that I could move on to another character. Zeal seems to work best for me when all five rapid swings can be focused on the same monster. I really disliked getting flanked or surrounded, because it effectively diluted the five Zeal swings among multiple foes.
There were a few battles in which maxed Conversion helped to temporarily recruit a few members of a mob to turn on the rest of the mob, which in turn helped to focus Zeal attacks on fewer enemies at a time.

Thoughts:
I don't know why, but paladin zealots just aren't my favorites to play, I finished this one in less than a month, mostly motivated to hurry and be done with him, so that I could move on to another character. Zeal seems to work best for me when all five rapid swings can be focused on the same monster. I really disliked getting flanked or surrounded, because it effectively diluted the five Zeal swings among multiple foes.
There were a few battles in which maxed Conversion helped to temporarily recruit a few members of a mob to turn on the rest of the mob, which in turn helped to focus Zeal attacks on fewer enemies at a time.
