My opinion on why I prefer classic over LoD

I'll only be addressing HLD, not LLD, PvM, or anything else.

1. Enigma - Every dueler pking with the effect of "Tele Spam Tele Spam Tele Spam Tele Spam Tele Spam Tele Spam" isn't my cup of tea, it's f*%$in monotonous and boring.
2. Call to Arms - Barbs are a dominant build in classic for a reason, blizz s%$& all over barbs in general when they patched this in. Hammerdins were bad enough when they could synch, but now they have the option to tele AND bo too? F&%$ that.
3. The existence of Absorb gear. This is the end-all for me, it's the #1 reason why I've stopped playing xpac HLD altogether. Can't legitimately beat that trapper? Throw some Wisps on... horses%$&.
4. The existence of expensive and over-powered charms and jewels - Adding moreso to the effect of "Pay more - win more".
5. The existence of far over-powered runewords in general. - Adding moreso to the effect of "Cookie-Cutter domination".

One more thing... on classic, you can get away with a poor mans build in pvp so long as you're pro at whatever build you're using. For instance, I can get on my classic NL barb that's using sigons, rattlecage, angelics, goblin toes/30% frw 2x 2x boots, 141 Battle Hammer, Bonesnap, and a 258 def 30/20 Grim shield, and fucking smack kids around that spent well over 2k FG on their characters because I am that god damn good at using a barb lol.

On expansion... it can't be done. My barb costs less than 50 FG... you can't build a char on expansion for 50 FG and have it do even remotely well in pvp.

Do you guys not understand that we have better items in expansion like enigma? It's so much better why still play stupid classic...

Hardcore is fun to an extent, but I do think it's overrated. I just don't like the idea of a lagspike [Everyone gets these, idc if you're running wireless BB or turbo speed, lagspikes happen] killing a character that I invested unmeasurable hours into. It just makes me feel like all my work was in vain. I know that you should Esc-S&E as soon as you lag, but even that doesn't always work. It's like using a condom, eventually one is going to break and you're going to be fucked.

Then there is fact that PvP is why I play D2. If I couldn't PvP, I wouldn't play D2... on hardcore, you're a fool if you constantly gamble your characters life by dueling on a daily basis. That's not fun for me. Doing PvM for hours on end just to say say "Yayyy look how high level I can be without dying" just doesn't do it for me, but I could see how some could like doing that.
