For regular monsters generally you just want the amp damage them, the druid puts a few corpses on the ground, and then the necro just clears the area with CE. Amp damage + tornado makes short work of bosses even in hell difficulty (also the summons provide a bit of meat shielding). Don't neglect cyclone armor with the wind druid, easily one of the more underrated skills in the game, especially if you have bad resists due to shitty gear. We beat the game rather easily (including a kill of an uber diablo spawn - but you won't get that on lan  ) with really shitty gear. I mean we were using like stealth armors and lore hats. So bad lol.Edit: I should mention that my friend, who was playing on the necro) focused on CE moreso than summons. The radius of high level CE is really amazing lol. Though initially he did do a summoning build (so did I until hurricane). I'm not sure if you get respecs in lan though. The hardest the game got for us was actually normal diablo due to our summon reliance at that point then lol. We managed it with amp damage/repeated dire wolf summoning. Nightmare was a joke - pretty much just running through while hurricane insta-popped everything. Hell was fairly easy because our builds were in full swing by then. | ||

Cold sorcs, well you don't get frozen orb until 30. You could also do a lower resist necro with summons, but that takes longer to kill stuff. | ||

I'd suggest something with a melee sorc (enchanted weapon). | ||

I've always thought the necro would be overpowered in hell. Skeletons have only 600 or so life at 20/20 so they die in 5 hits by act4 hell, but revives are a great shield. Then anything that complements the necro with good damage (sorcs, hammers, bowazons, lightning fury) is a pretty good combo. If you guys are noobs I seriously recommend a necro or you'll be dieing a lot to bosses and random uniques in hell. edit: Necros will make the game boring though. | ||

you can do it 2 ways, hammerdin or fana pala. both can finish hell. i dont think you will be doing uber trist out of b.net. takes a long time to get there (about 20 hell runs). | ||

Exactly how i see D2, the game is so ridiculously easy a 5 year old could beat it with a OP character like a Summoner Necro or Hammerdin. 1-2 hitting everything gets old quickly. Personally, i never play the game on anything else than /players 8 with an unorthodox build or less powerful build  | ||

If you're playing D2 classic hardcore, I'll suggest necro + paladdin (optimisation of auras) barb + sorc (bo + good versatility) barb + barb, barb + necro, barb + paladdin, sorc + pala, sorc + necro also work well. So it's mainly dependent on wich class you like playing, what is more important is the synergies of the spells, try to get some combination of physical + magical damages to not die in hell. Personal favorite (it's not strong but funny) is bowama + ench sorc. Kinda useless in hell but very funny and efficient in NM. | ||

That said, I don't know if it's worth it. Anyway, I would totally agree with the summoner necro thing myself, but not necessarily force a person not to choose one. Personally I think nothing can be worse in any game than making a summoner character... it's so stupid. From what I heard summoner necros are imbal as anything (solo hell naked), but I don't understand why anyone would want to play one. Actually, the same sort of thing applies to a hammerdin. That hammer ability is so stupid and virtually skilless. Just sit in one spot spamming hammer without hardly even aiming. If you want to own, go necro+ hammerdin. If you want to have a bit more fun, should probably try something else. Realize that a recent update to D3 allows 3 respecs throughout the game, so you can run a fun build at the start, then respec once or twice around hell, to a powerful but bland build, and then save the last respec for emergency.

With conviction you don't even need sick gear and it removes most of lightning immunity. This is a good idea. On July 31 2011 04:55 caruso wrote: Does anyone else here play singleplayer with Plugy? Yes, and I recommend the OP to totally use Pluggy. It's the only way I would play single player | ||

and yeah i read the OP, stating that he wants to play in lan where you won't find anything anyway and no trading, just straightup beating the game with a friend. no uber tristram obviously too. | ||

I think the Sorc and barbarian are the easiest to find items for, and rely on their items the least. I recently just ran through the game with my friend and we found it very easy as a Sorc + Barbarian. At every level you can "reset your stat and skill points" so at first the sorc can be lightning, and chang eto cold etc, and barb can start with maybe spear class barb, into swords or axes or poleaxes etc. | ||
