EHCL, started with a necromancer, quit him about level 33 because of boredom. Made a sorceress, fo/tk and she's in act5 NM, I'll take my time to gather/trade items. The first shenk run I did, I found HOZ. This made me instantly richer, about 400fg richer. Since then I have enough to buy myself an occulus and my MF raises to 50%!

haha nice, diablo 2 is pretty sweet, i've been thinking about getting back into that game as well. Its just so simple to control and stuff. I forgot, what is HOZ again? Herald of Zakurum or something?

On Nightmare Shenk the Overseer, Act 5 first quest. My friends were like WTF?! And yeah, HOZ = Herald of Zakarum. I've been farming countess now, highest rune I acquired so far is Sol rune. I'm going to upgrade it and start making runewords. I'm using The Ward at the moment with 42 resists all, I needed this but since I have The Face of Horror (25!! STR + 10 Resist all) and Occy, I'm going to make Rhyme as soon as I find myself a 2 socket grim shield.

Not really, in terms of usefulness, not at all. HOZ is relatively way more expensive than Doombringer.

Same. =o Never saw the point of countless runs and crap to increase your stats slightly. In D1 at least its fun killing people, for me D2 got boring once i got all chars lvl ~40 or so (highest was 65~ sorc) when I know what all the abilities do its just about making them better.

in very few situations.. every other weapon with similar stats is just ( was when i played) waaay to expensive. if you play HC i could imagine it beeing an issue.

Yes and no, even though the % is 25% and it could KILL you. Last season I did fine, all you need is strong TK and 75% block, I'm planning on MF'ing in NM and whenever I make myself an Insight for my merc, I'm going to continue countess runs to get my runes etc up.

When I played D2, and made sorcs or necromancers, I didn't really believe in Vitality or Dexterity... IMO the game is more fun when you die in one or two hits. So basically I'd get the minimum in Strength to use my armour, and the rest would go into Magic which meant that I didn't have to rely on my items to give me mana, which meant that I could focus on more important attributes like + to skills and cast rate.

Don't MF run TT So boring. All you do is Blizzard Hell Mephisto a million times and for what? Some crappy items to make the game easier than it already is? Everyone who duels just uses duped items anyway, and if you ever got good at StarCraft you know how simplistic and lame D2 duels get after a week.

D2 is fun, depends on the person. I just do MF runs here and there and then Baal runs, it's fun for me until I die.

I remember one fateful Diablo II day...

A few friends and I had gotten onto the DClone IRC channel, and had found out on which IP address Diablo Clone would be walked later that day. We kept individually joining and leaving private games in an attempt to get a game that was on the same IP that would be walked; we'd then wait for the walk and each end up with a shiny new Annihilus.
I would make a game, check the IP, kill Hell Mephisto, and leave until I got the right IP address. While killing Hell Mephisto I found two Arachnid's Web belts, each worth about seven high runes at the time, which was a lot, about three runs apart, followed closely by a 5%ll Bul Katho's ring. Eventually I found the right IP, DClone walked, and I got a shiny new Annihilus to boot.

I had a Kicksin that could rape ubers and bosses with the same efficiency as a smiter, a Hammerdin and an Orb sorc for magic finding, a Bone necromancer for duels (back when synergy glitches existed and you could add thousands of damage to bone spear/spirit), and my favorite character, a Plague javazon capable of doing 100k poison damage (over around 30 seconds, but still, it was nuts).

This Javazon was equipped with Enigma, for teleportation purposes, a Dream helmet, for Holy Shock, and a Call to Arms bow on switch. I would use the CTA for Battle Orders/Command, enter the duel, and hit the opponent with one poison cloud, at which point I would teleport away like a motherfucker. Eventually he'd realize he was at one hp, at which point I'd switch to my bow and start unloading guided arrows at him; if they didn't work, the Holy Shock from my helmet killed him anyways.

Shit that was fun.

My friends and I also ran a leveling business where we'd level other people's characters up to 80 (took about a day) and get 20 bucks or so per job.

Too bad Diablo eventually turns people into monsters, willing to sell out their friends for a SoJ.

Fuck that game~!
