I've got some spare time and I'm itching to play d2 again. Anyone have any suggestions on a fun character I can solo with (at least until nightmare)? I haven't played in a long time but I played hammerdin the last time I played.

Any suggestions or a site with some good guides? Thanks.

Meteorb sorc or fishymancer necro are the two best classes to play untwinked.

Paladins are easy if you have some wealth already accumulated. Theres a reason why everyone makes meteorb sorcs at the start of every ladder season. They're extremely easy to mf with to build up some wealth.

If you're looking for something new, and a challenge, I recommend you try out the Hell Unleashed Solo Edition mod. Makes the game a LOT better in my opinion, and a lot more fun to play lan/solo, if you're planning on clearing everything and doing every quest.

It gets REALLY challenging near the end of ACT II and beyond.

You could play it solo, but it is very difficult to get through hell going straight through..
If you want a real d2 solo experience, get median, http://modsbylaz.hugelaser.com/
median site has 1.8 million hits so far, it's a great mod

Dragon Talon Kicksin. Max Burst of Speed and use weapon(not claw) + shield. Solo is a joke and you have 60+ skill points for whatever else you want, be it traps, a helper, blades.

I've been soling as a bowazon i'm like level 70 now. All points into dexterity. It's tough running around without a meat shield, But it takes skills to win!

No, embrace the joys of bnet! My mates and I just started up again. Tons of fun. As for a character, how about a pally with a bow and one of the elemental auras? I forget what those are called.

i played like 10+ single player chars started with meteorb to mf adn gather items lol it was a pain in the ass mfing meph but now im like uber duper rich lol so every char after meteorb sorc was like pwnage

also dragon talon kicksin u dont ned to max BoS wtf -_-

kicksin will bel ike this. reach lvl 18 Dtalon, or 24, or 26 iirc. because 4 kicks, 5 kicks, and 6 kicks respectively. although u can just get it to max for the attack rating bonus.

then u need to max venom. the bonus dmg doesnt show on char screen but it does apply.

then just learn death sentry 1-20 points. shadow master 20 points will give u a really good tank.

gear will revolve aroudn getting at least 50% crushing blow and using a pair of elite boots, minimum of 'boneweave boots' type

best options are upgraded goreriders 'warboots' -> 'myrmidon greaves'

if you've heard of uber tristram on bnet this is the build that can take those uber bosses down.

and single player is fun if you have patience. pretty much any build will be able to solo hell if u want it to.

go to diii.net single player section and check out the whacky builds some of the people do like melee necro.

the most weird build i have is a zeal assassin (wielding 'passion' runeword cryptic sword lol its awesome) but its one of my more geared out chars

I like my trap sin :> But you won't have too much fun with it until the later levels; like it is with most of the characters I guess.

If you just want to play until nightmare I'd suggest playing the skelly/corpse explosion necro which somebody mentioned earlier.
