Class

garazdawi · #1 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 03:47 PM

In honor of this new forum of one of the best games evermade, I'm going to put up the first poll in this forum

Ok the question is.

What class do u enjoy the most to play. Not which is the most powerful or which is the best team player but which char gives you the most pleasure to see grow into a level 70 monster? (EDIT: Plz also state your reason if any for your choice)

I'll have to choose a necromancer as I love to see how hourdes of monsters throw themslves at death and you don't have to do anything other that stand and summon a monster here and there

Paladins forever!

Migt I ask why? ( I detest paladins my self, they are fighters without fighting power IMO)

Kameleon · #4 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 04:00 PM

They have the best combination of everything. If you have the right auras, everyone loves you, with the right equipment you can solo in Hell Cows, but I'm a party-loving player and so I like to make Barbs happy with Fanaticism and Sorcs over the moon with Conviction. Oh, and Zeal is just too cool

I see your point but it i salomst the same to put an amplify damage or lower resistance or iron maifed on your enemies. peple think that the nec isn't much of a party player, but IMO he is a far better party player thna the paladin, no offence to all paladin lovers out there

BTW what level did u get to at the most? with a paladin

I would say that a necro is almost as good a party player as a paladin, with the exception of being able to increase attack speeds of course (oh, and you can only have one curse on a monster at a time, but auras stack), but paladins are hardier than necros by far. You're just way too vulnerable once the Revive wall is gone...

The thing with having a level 25 firo golem is that it does not go away

Also dealing 400 magik damage with having to roll to hit is very good (bone spirit). Also a splashing damage of 60-100% of the killed corpses health is quite good (corpse explosion)... On the other hand a nec with a paladin is a mean fighting machine. Imagine 5 summoned cows with a level 25 firegolem with them and thorn aura and iron maiden.... No one will be able to kill that elite group. Esp if th epal throe blassed hammer and the nec throws bone spirits all over the place..... a PK's dream

not that I PK but still....

I like the Amazon best

Robnark · #9 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 04:40 PM

the necromancer is the coolest. i ask you, what exactly is cooler than a horde of scuttling grinning skeletal minions?

oh, and it makes fighting monsters that resurrect one helluva lot easier

i admit that it's not the easiest to play, especially against bosses, but even my super-amazon with her glowing fast socketed longbow of doom can't outdo a skeleton army in terms of coolness

LOL - this is the mentality that Diablo II puts me into - I almost called you a newbie and told you to piss off until you got a Windforce

Robnark · #11 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 04:50 PM

heh, my bow ain't no windforce, but i got it early in act two, killed diablo + bhaal, did the cow level solo, got halfway through the next difficulty level, then lost my savegame - all using the same bow and never using hirelings

Taco Magus · #12 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 05:01 PM

I remember back in the day before LOD i had a 99 Chu Ko Nu. Sons, Chivo, Joe, Tanya(aka tya), Musty, Goz, Mew, and myself would get in a priv game and let Sons do Chaos runs so he would hit 99(remember when it was actually hard to hit 99???). The rest of us went to Flayer, and OUter steps to MF. if we didnt have 8 people we made a game, and tya and i would pk anyone who tried stealing sons exp/diablo. that was so much fun. damn cows stole that all away

*sigh*

Kameleon · #13 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 05:05 PM

When LOD had been around for months, I thought I'd really like to do Act 4 runs again...no one else wanted to join in

garazdawi · #14 (**permalink**) 12-07-2002, 05:10 PM

As I never got LOD I'm willing to join u any day in hell with diable... If only I could get back my level 76 nec

Paladin??? Im with garaz on this one. Paladins only got the auras going for them.

That blessed hammer is the biggest piece of uselessness ever created...heck, that whole page of skills is useless, IMO.

I really like the Necromancer, but I like the Druid a little more because of the shapeshifting. Cant say no to the wolf.

And the summoning table is just awesome. The elemental page is horrid, but the other skills make up for it.

So my list goes:
1-Druid
2-Necromancer
3-Barbarian
4-Assassin
5-Amazon (hehehe...for more then just the skills)
6-Paladin
7-Sorceress

Thats just me though.
