    1) Pick a build whose set gear is fairly easy to find or obtain through trade (IMO, The Barbarian and Paladin's gear are the hardest to find though both are quite worthwhile).

    2) Farm cows and plaguelands for any charms you may need along with rare rings or amulets you think will be sufficient for the time being (you should also be taking this time to collect organs, runes, perfect gems, and jewels and maybe certain rare items to complete your whole setup for the time being).

    3) Get uber keys

    4) Get fragments and do Worldstone (try to call a GM or friend here for help and also to prove you opened the Worldstone in case a crash occurs). Note, consider buying Belial's Tome beforehand if Mana is a problem for your build. This isn't necessary, but it could be quite convenient depending on your build.

    5) Get (or buy depending on your build and gear) Alkor's

    6) Depending on your build, gear, and changes in the next ladder, try to farm the Act 5 pits, Inferno Cows, Lich King, and dreamlands for any item you need (or are willing to trade).

    7) Farm the time rift for anything you need there (or are willing to trade)

    8) Farm for anything else you will need before doing Crucible and consider either joining a clan or making one to do this.

    9) Farm Crucible.
    I was going to say farm crucible as well but considering that it's going to change soon I'm guessing that will no longer be an option after the ladder reset.

    Not sure what you mean by that Savior unless you mean farming that alone which I wouldn't recommend anyway (certainly not for the faint hearted or those that want to spend less than a hour doing only to get killed some place). Either way, Crucible farming will come last.

    At any rate, I would add this addendum to what I said above

    Regarding step 1
    I would recommend as your first character(s) a Necromancer or Amazon since all but one of their set gear items are pretty easy to get and after you get them you should be able to farm the 2nd pit in Act 5. Note that you will need a partner though if you go with a Necromancer while farming in the pits and that partner will very likely will be someone with an Amazon.

    Also, although I mentioned farming the pits elsewhere, it's just as good to try to farm the above pit either to equip other builds you may want to use (which is very likely) or to trade anything you find there though it will be a bit rough early on.
