Hi all,

played alot of D2 back in the day and now i have access to a machine that can play it i am excited to relive the nostalgia!

Just wondered if anyone had any advice for which character to start with? I can remember hammerdins with enigma were the kind of go to character but i realise i will be a while before i get to the stage of being able to kit one out.

Therefore im leaning towards a sorc (unsure of element!)

Appreciate any replies!

jav zon and run hell cows. sorc and hammerdin

Msg me when I’m on I’ll give you some gear if you like

I'd go for the rags to riches approach when just coming back - not getting the best items straight away, but instead playing the game as was intended

For that purpose, I'd advise to play a javazon, fire druid, hammerdin, trapsin

If sorc: blizzard rocks, fireorb is also amazing

why there's no games?

Thank you! Ive started a sorc and started levelling fire so far but may switch it out to blizz as i get further into it!



Thank you for the offer! Going to just run the story through first and see how far i get.

don't start it just delete it and do ur way like u was doing before
crappy shit like same old day
dupe bot etc etc

Welcome back!

Blizzard is kewl as long as you get her Reaper's Toll. You'd have hard time to go through Hell if you go yourself vs immunes otherwise. Yeah, you can ask others to rush you, which I don't like hehe...

I prefer FO\FB hybrid till I get Baal down.

Have fun!

Make sure not to put in too much effort into farming runes/items for now.
As far as i know, in June there should be a ladder reset.
In non-ladder there are quite a few items/runewords that you can't find/make.

At the ladder start there will for sure be some people who run through the acts together. If you start the new ladder, i highly recommend playing some character that is good for the team, like pala/druid/necro(curses are great)


edit: nevermind, it seems like you play d2r.

Just don't be like me and so indecisive on which to play you start getting burned out because you keep making new characters instead of settling on one. XD

To actually answer the question though, sorc and javazon are always good starter choices for ladder, but you may also look at the changes in 2.4 and check out one of the new builds brought out by those. If you are doing a lot of solo play, FOH paladin is the most budget chaos clearer right now, but he gets a bit week beyond P3.
