So Im finally going to figure out how to make spirit and company on Single Player.

Couple Questions-

What is the easiest Character to make generally? Ive played Ladder Seasons in Groups, but I dont know if I have ever actually Done All of Normal Myself. I know, I have never done Allof Nightmere without other players.

Also, do you guys consider it cheating on Single Player to Farm Runes/Items and Xfer over to other Characters you build? Like If I make a Sorc, is it considered cheating to far Spirit Runes and put them on a Pally?

Easiest? Hdin
Cheating? Play as you like. It's Single Player and you aren't hurting anyone. It's not that D2 is a difficult game anyway.

What version should I play?

1.08 on classic

1.13c on ladder?
