I would love some documentation on builds, itemization, farming spots for diablo 2 classic.

Hammerdin + blizz sorc in hell chaos sanctuary

Ty for the suggestion

knows just about everything about classic builds and mechanics. He could probably point you to the most accurate guides or give you some answers himself when he has the time!

Ty for that! Have a great day!

Make a ww barb and you'll never have an issue.

Also how’s the classic scene online? Any duel games? Leveling group? Sc or hc most popular?

There are at least 2 discord channels of ppl who do classic d2r. They send it to me , but i didnt save them.

these are my guides, saved them after leveling some characters on classic.
