Edit.. when I finish chronicle I’ll check out PvP!! Hopefully soon.. I’m at 99% (uniques) and 100% (sets)
Its a different game from PvM entirely. First time attempting PvP, I bought a extremely well built ghost sin. Had no idea of the mechanics, sucked against characters I read were easy wins. I was legitimately pissed off and didn't touch the character for a week.
Met a random online. Said he pvp'd on jsp and would show me some tricks. Ended up meeting a whole community of sweaty PvP players. Got shat on repeatedly, learned a lot, and made some good buddies along the way. Still jam out a decade later with the same guys.
Basically if you can handle the learning curve (much easier on D2r) you will spend the following ladders decking out characters to smash pubs and team duel with buddies.
