Nice going so far. Not going to give you advice, just going to discuss my efforts.

I play Zeal / Holy Freeze in Normal and Nightmare, I respec to Holy Light and
re-run Nightmare for better gear before playing Hell difficulty upto level 75-80.
I try to find Hsarus Set [boot/shield/belt], Angelics [Armor/rings/ammy], thus
leaving my weapon and helm open to anything that is decent.

Use lots of small charms for extra res / life and dmg. My skillset is easy enough,
I don't like getting caught in a mob attacking 5 times, so I set my zeal to 1 base
point, max out my Holy [Aura] and their Synergies first, then I max out Sacrifice
to add damage/Attack rating to zeal, I use rogue in normal upto Nightmare before
changing merc to Act2... when using Holy Freeze on myself, I use Might aura merc,
when I respec to Holy Light, I switch to Holy Freeze merc.

My favourite areas in Normal and Nightmare for re-running is Nihlathok and Baal,
I find my experience level gets better and find decent items, if I don't have sustainable
gear to do those areas, I will do other areas like shenk, pindle, trav and Andarial [note:
mostly Nightmare Andy].

I use the oldest strategy out, Divide and Conquer... simple enough and very handy
when you find it hard to kill groups, especially Wave 5 doing baal.

Goodluck and have fun, you may find some that Butchers Pupil will be your friend
throughout most of your run once you find one.

Thanks matey, I will use your wise words to help guide me through the remainder of mine and Mal's adventure :P hehe!

So far, if I get stuck on a part of an act I end going back to somewhere I know I can do easily for the exp
and chance of additional items that will hopefully help me get through what's next.

Thanks 😊
I've played alot of DII over the years and skill/stat selection is something I've always been careful with.

Yeah me too lol! I'm hoping for a lucky rare weapon that I can upgrade.

Teehee, the avatar is more useful when trading. Don't think I need to explain why though 😂
