Been playing d2r a lot rcently and it's starting to get fairly boring :/.... Ever since the last patch, ive been grinding on my fohdin which is super fucking op... Only issue is, I cant find any build that is as fun.... Made a javazon, a trapsin, tried hammerdin again, a nova sorc, and they all just aren't as good/fun and efficient as the fohdin... let me know if you guys have any suggestions because im starting to think about quitting d2r for a while...

Seems you're done with this game.

It's fun for me to think new builds that are not that good and efficient but somewhat work. Meta builds are not my cup of tea, but it's just me.

"You either karate do yes, or you karate do no. You do karate "guess-so", squish like grape."

You either javazon, trapsin, hammerdin, nova sorc do yes, or do no. Otherwise, squish like grape (with boredom ^^).


Hehe, my point is really, try something really challenging and don't be hasty about it. If you want a real challenge, try making it through normal mode with a bowa on hardcore. You are allowed to use starting gear+charms to make it a little bit more fun, say arctic set and such.

This HCL, i started out with all 7 characters. I play through the acts with every one (no cheats), only running through to take waypoints to eliminate so much searching, then leveling them. It's a lot of fun to be able to play every character this way. And gear you find, you can use on all the characters, and specific gear pieces on the corresponding character.


One other thing you can do is to help newbs, rush them and give gear. It can be quite rewarding. Do normal baalruns and rush groups through nightmare. Of course in hardcore.

Man i remember one season i started with sorceress, this was hardcore. I was quite lucky and found a few good gear pieces early, like viper, magefist and such. I used hydra/static. Made it to nm act 5 and was looking for baalruns, none appeared, so i decided to do them myself. I hosted 5-8 player games and tele'd myself, damn it was sketcy, but super fun ^^ People were grateful and commended me for doing that. Having a barb giving high level bo was of course helpful.

Or go for a build that is not extremely strong. Being weaker will force you to play around those weaknesses by positioning more properly, avoiding certain monsters etc.
If you only play the super strong stuff that is as good as hdin/sorc/java/etc, you will just get bored quickly again.

You could also challenge yourself by playing the game in classic style: No charms, no runewords, no exceptional/elite sets+uniques. Runes and elite rares are allowed.

hammerdin or sorc are both great choices if you are going to be pvm magic finding, if you want to have some fun and pvp try one of the assassin builds if you have not already
