If you've got mules full of high runes and stuff like that to waste, make a Beast caduceus and I promise you'll have a ton of fun. I'm not sure if it's the same in wusscore, but I assume the reaction is similar when they see a sorc turns into a bear. | ||

I don't have a ton of runes lying around...but I'm gonna work towards it  | ||

 If you run out of handicap ideas try some Median XL mod. It's awesome. | ||

I played through it a while back using the high-res mod, MedianXL, and PlugY. That takes a bit more finagling to get to work together. PlugY lets you have an infinite stash and share it across characters among other things. Personally I prefer the original D2 to MedianXL but obviously the original D2 gets stale if you've played as much on bnet over the years as I have. However, there is another mod I played through called Eastern Sun that I think is way better than MedianXL despite being significantly smaller than the latter. It preserves many of the original D2 skills but has a completely different cube system and all new items/sets, which is what I enjoy most about D2 -- finding items. Of course all of these single player mods are boring as hell compared to online play but again, I've played way too much D2 + I quit playing awhile back just due to the lack of players + lack of interest in being ultra rich + PVPing, since PvE died ages ago when dupes and maphacks and bots took over everything. | ||

Yeah, it takes quite a bit of discipline to battle through nightmare and hell mode when you could just get rushed to hell and do chaos runs til level 65, and then Baal runs until you can solo your own bosses...I think a single-player mod is exactly what I need, as it adds in the additional benefits of having new skills, items, story etc. | ||
