New game with Zero gear only self found/ friend found.

initial walkthrough with a few friends and then individual farming etc.

Summon Necro vs WW + Zerk Find Item Barb.

Obviously summoner would be easier but as to Hell MFing and toward key hunting/ ubers/ Pindle/ Trav etc.

would barb be worth it more due to find item?
or necro to get the most early on because of the ease of it?

I'd like to poll on which one would get richer, faster in the grand scheme of things.


love you guys

I did about what you are trying to do about the self-found thing with friends at game launch.
I did a frenzy barb, that i switched to a singer late nightmare and i found a huge amount of stuff running trav, eldritch, shenk, pindle, countess and pits in hell.

After that i did few trade and did WW with full ik set.
From there, i self-found a javazon now and almost done find a smiter and uber kicksin (i will see which one i find full gear first).

I know barb ain't the fastest, and my friend with his necro farms cows faster (thats why I did javazon right after haha).
But, solo or with one other person in the game, a self-found barb horking is kind of nice. I had not done this in 20 years and i don't regret it :D

Since you are a team it depends. If not have a necromancer then it's nice for the curses. If not have a barb it's better for the battle orders. With good equipment both characters are great. I prefer necro more for single player because CE is op.

I've been having a ton of fun with a poison necro. Finding gear was a sonofabitch, because Llama put out a guide a day after I started mine so everyone needed one, but besides that it's been great.

Good insights,

seems like definitely more to gain from horking..
but then again the grind to find gear to be able to kill, and still even geared, would probably be a bit slower killing than necro so it might not be as efficient to get the most riches as fast as you can to build more characters up.
