lmk!

i just got the game yesterday, so i have no clue how to go about building my char. just general ideas like mastery combos and the classes that arise from those. i might make a slayer? supposedly the best class in the game?

dunno..

good starter classes are any xx/pet mixes (Nature / Spirit / Earth)

Oracle is a nice starting (caster) char (Storm / Spirit)
Earth has a nice pet you can also combine it with Spirit
Nature provides mediocre pets but nice life Bonus

For beginners if you want Melee Classes, pairing them with Defense Mastery is a good choice (Conquerer Warfare/Defense)
Templar (Dream/Defense), Paladin (Earth/Defense) are nice Defense Mastery Chars.
Harbringer (Warfare/Dream), Spellbreaker (Warfare/Spirit) are excellent Dual Wielding Melee Classes.

don't combine mastery that don't complement each other (for example Earth/Storm is a relatively weak combination)

i actually went with the assassin.

i'm thinkin about making a templar now, but can't find a good guide for it. i heard they can be pretty damn powerful

You havn't been on D2 for a while Rocky

yea.. i've been...

busy.
