Sick D2-nerds in this blog i must say. Impressive! So what char is actually the easiest one to pick if you wanna beat it single player ? And what henchman should you choose?

Either you get a barb/pala that just never dies, or you go ranged with an act 2 merc, works fine solo imo

Sorc can do it pretty much by getting a reasonable fcr, massing up mana/rejuvs, and just teleing through the whole game. Boss fights take a long time but eh. My favorite run through of DII was always bowzon. Took forever though.

For untwinked single player it, the easiest in my opinion would be trap assa. Respectable light dmg, along with corpse exposion from death traps, can attack from safe distance/places thanks to traps, fade for extra res + phys res OR BoS for speed. MB and CoS are also extremely powerful CC spells. Also has a minion ^^

They do great in untwinked hardcore play too, since they have so much survival.

That's impressive. Farthest I've gotten with a single player character is act 4 hell with a fire only sorc, can't imagine how hard act 5 would be

yeah I ran that in HC once. Never had a trouble going anywhere. The thing is with mindblast+shadow you CANNOT lose to mobs, you can simply blast a few conversion and just lay down the traps while keeping them busy with their own.

I got 1 point in blade fury and had STRENGTH runeword for crushing blow for bosses, it works pretty well.

I'd be satisfied with just beating the game. Also, the goldish color items are unique, the yellow are rare, so you got some decent gear .


You can beat ubers with any sufficiently geared melee character, so long as you have a lifetap wand.

Paladins were just the easiest because exile is extremely OP.


Right, but his character is a wind dude, so unless he's just going to auto-attack the ubers to death (lol), the windy druid can't do it.

The easiest character to get through the game with is probably the summon necromancer. You never take any damage at all, and everything is pretty easy to get through, although slow. Get a might merc from Act 2 nightmare and gear the hell out of him and pair him with a clay golem - good to go!

I felt like the wind guy was pretty fast - it took a long time if the enemies had resistance but otherwise it plows through enemies at a good rate. Alot of DII fans here which makes me happy...Next stop hardcore?

I never really tried hardcore much, but I also played strictly on battle.net. The last time I played hardcore I had a barbarian that was level 12 in the catacombs level III, I hit a black wall lag spike and then a minute later my character was dead - never tried again lmao. At least on single player there should be no lag, but I don't think I would be very satisfied playing a character and then having it die, especially with all the possible cheap deaths in Diablo, like the guys that shoot lightning in the Worldstone Keep, or iron maiden in the Chaos Sanctuary.

You can reset your skill points in the latest patch, if he wanted to change to a fury (or whatever druid zeal was called) werewolf.

The patch removed iron maiden from chaos :/ No more random instant deaths mid whirlwind or zeal.
