Cheesy way being making lots of scouting trips to hell, trying not to activate any monsters and just opening chests, smashing barrels etc. I found some neat equipment this way, and after that it was really easy with a little help from stone curse (slvl 1 so there were lots of potions involved).
I'm gonna try it with no such help though. Those scouting trips made it too easy. Oh, and BTW, if you're a rogue going against melee enemies (drakes, knights, ...), use a weapon/shield setup. Fast block if you have one (Holy Defender, Stormshield, Shield of Blocking).
Also, some dungeon layouts are better than others. If you're going for a 1@17 without getting to clvl 18, you'll probably need to avoid all monsters on levels 13 & 14 and limit the killing on 15 & 16. The experience gap between 17 and 18 is simply too small to allow much killing (44 kills if you get max exp per kill (which you probably do at clvl 17)).
