Hey all. Currently I'm coming back after not playing since early highschool which is many years ago. I remember having to magic find and farm a lot which I'm cool with and I enjoy games that make you take your time.
However, I made a wind Druid and I'm finding that it isn't a great way of clearing currently in Hell and trying to do magic find to get better gear.
Wondering if there is any other class/build I should go or what items I should aim to get from maybe NM or something in Hell that is easy to farm.

Any advice will really help.

Thank you all your time!

hell will always be a struggle in the beginning if you are on your first character. sorcs can teleport without enigma, which makes them efficient with bad gear. some builds are gear dependant, others less so. wind druid not one of those "really good without gear" characters. fist of heavens paladin basically can clear chaos sanctuary naked.. so.

however, be sure to take advantage of overpowered runewords like spirit shield/sword etc. actually try to make your budget druid work before starting from zero.

but you know, at the end of the day you just gotta find a high rune and thats just luck. so.. just get lucky

must have resources:

and check maxroll guides (go to equip and check for starter/budget gear, there might be some obscure runeword thats good for your class)

Gear will come, just get in Baal runs and get to Lvl 93 + to craft Ammy. Roll a godly 2 20 for ammy with materials, you can buy anything you want

Generally: Just choose a character you feel you want to enjoy the most. Spend fg to buy some key gear pieces along the way to make the game more fun, but of course don't spend a lot. Enjoy the journey. Don't fall into the black hole of pvp toxic environment. Then you've lost.
