Hi guys, Ive been lurking around here for some time, checking the forums, reading guides, following WTs and now I decided to join the community myself. :)
I really like the idea to share my gameplay with you, it would be like playing with others not just myself farming alone, maybe some of you will find it interesting too but tbh I haven't chosen a class to play yet.

Im torn between poison necro and fire sorc but Im open to other ideas too.
What would you recommend for me? Im going to use plugy and want to play on higher players setting.

Thanks

I love poison necro. One of my favorite builds. It’s super fun. It just gets really tedious and boring in hell a3-5 because half or more of the minions have poison immune and you just sit there while merc kills things. But still highly recommend it if you want to have a different type of game play rather than the top 3-4 chars. Such as Hammerdin, Javazon, sorc (any build), frenzy, zealot. Imo those are the most played.

If you want to get yourself used to p8, hc etc you could always do sorceress. She is a fast progression character and if you die you didn’t spend too much time on it.

Hello and welcome :) Yeah it's a good way to keep oneself hyped up to play, posting a walk and following others here.

For character choice I'd say whichever you think you'll have the most fun with, though pure fire sorc will struggle massively in hell with all the fire immunes.

Good luck!

For your first walkthrough, i suggest you play your favorite class/build. If you die, then try something safer, like a summoner necro.

Hey, thanks for the advice. yeah fb sorc looks unstoppable in NM but fire immunes are pain in the a** in hell :D so I will skip it for now

If I had to pick 1 class it would be sorcerer but I played way too much sorc back than so I think I will go with necro this time :) thanks
