Thx for replays, guys, and for some links, I will check them. Yeah, you right, i was a little rude. Sorry for that. I don’t blame anybody.

I see, administrator deleted my post with link to one old tournament. It must be prohibited to post links to other sites here. But if you are interesting just type in google “diablo 2 exposure tournament” and you will find it. They had very strict rules: Untwinked chars, hardcore, single-pass, no mercenaries, no summons (except Druid ravens I think) and no shields, they were allowed to adjust players settings though. And few guys actually beat the game. Two necros (bonemancer and daggermancer) and assassin, if I’m not mistaken. Maybe somebody else. Very interesting walks.

Yeah, I think one day I will make my own walk) I don’t like paladins and sorcs. I think it will be barb. Very nice health pool, buffed with BO, natural resistance, no problems with immunes, great crowd control and very handy find item skill. Excellent choice for me. Ain’t sure it will be ww- barb or zerker, but certainly not conc, too boring for my taste. Anyway, it doesn’t mutter, until I start to play))

Cheers.

Rws ever being turned off was stupid.

Same thing for ubers and stuff. Insane game mechanic locking them to bnet.

Weapon damage of one-handed swords being doubled is likely intended to compensate for his inability to dual-wield, to compete with the otherwise superior Two-Hand Damage of two-handed swords.

(Notice the Desert Mercenary parallel - One-Hand Damage of javelin is doubled.)
