My three brothers and I are going to try to do a hell walkthrough and are trying to think of a fun and successful team of builds to use.

Our thoughts were:
-Hdin
-Summon nec
-FB sorc
-Barb/Druid

I know this is subjective but I am looking for peoples ideas

Thanks

hdin with conc + hdin with convi + elem dmg chars

conv hdin
java
barb
light sorc/blizz

Hammerdin for damage
Summon necromancer for defense decoys and curses
Barb for BO/shout and max leap for stunning a whole room at a time
Sorc- pure light is highest damage output but sorc would be mainly for static/Tele


If that's the 4 u were choosing.

whoever is on the barb will rage quit by how useless they are in Nightmare and beyond. They will essentially be a walking CTA.

Druid would be a lot more fun and still give a health boon with the sage thingy - can do Fissure until Hell and then swap to windy and feel super relevant

FB Sorc would be a lot of fun at all points and still incredibly useful in Hell and at all points for helping to re-run for MFing

Summon Necro would be incredibly boring in my opinion as they would just be a meat shield/Utility pick.
- Maybe as a Poison Necro or summoner using corpse explosion so once you get one kill he can be more relevant in a fight?

Hdin is essentially God-Mode of the characters and whoever plays him will have the strongest character in Hell.

I would remove necro entirely and maybe do a trapsin, a lot more fun, huge utility with Mind Blast, and traps are insanely powerful at all times of the game.
Start off Wake of Fire and respec at nightmare A4 to lightning traps - use MB on any monster as you go to make them a meat shield

Final line up for each game difficulty:

Norm:
Fire Sorc
Fire Sin
Fire Druid
Holy Shock + Zeal Paladin

Nightmare:
Fire Sorc
Fire Sin - A4 respec - Light Sin
Fire Druid
Holy Shock + Zeal Paladin

Hell:
Fire Sorc
Lightning Sin
Wind Druid
Hdin

I think with these 4 you will never struggle, nobody will feel weak (druid will notice slower kill speeds in Hell, but better than fighting 100x fire immunes with no counter).
Fire sorc may want to become Fball/Frozen orb in hell, but really wont be a problem with so many other elements.

I like your party - each will bring something useful to the group and will be fun to play. Also agree that undergeared Barb would feel useless in hell, unless you really like playing barbs. I would go with:

-Hdin: for magic damage and auras (cleanse, conc, vigor, salvation)
-Summon nec: for crowd control, CE, and curses (amp, decrep, confuse, lower resist)
-Hybrid sorc: for fire/ice damage, static, and tele
-Wind druid: for phys damage, light cc, and oak

fun is subjective so let everyone pick a char they think is interesting

conviction pally+ hammer
3 elemental chars (java, sin, sorc)

if hc throw a barb or druid in

If hardcore I vote barb and din for bo and auras.. otherwise just have fun.. almost all combos in a 4 man team should do decent in hell.. especially multiple elementals to cover immunes

there are two choices

best:

hammerdin with shako
hammerdin with shako
hammerdin with shako
hammerdin with shako

second best:

hammerdin with no shako
hammerdin with no shako
hammerdin with no shako
hammerdin with no shako

If I must play with 4 brothers? 4x barb with each different weapon
