Huh... what a difference 2 levels makes. Blood raven much easier with slightly sturdier skeletons and a golem.

Golem makes a difference. Mine basically saved me from Andariel by taking shots while I chipped away at her after she fucked up all my skellies

Agreed, although I am trying to survive Hell with a Blizzard-Fireball hybrid. Shame that Infinity is expensive to make, and near impossible if you're doing self-found characters only.
From what I know, only full gear Hammerdins and Javazons can clear hell with ease. Everything else will be a struggle if you don't have a full competent team.

I barely beat her. Ran out of corpses for skeletons and panicked and tried to finish her melee. Almost did but poison fucked me even with some resistance. Managed to get out and regroup and finished her on the 2nd run. Avoided dying though. That was nice. Merc actually outlasted golem lol but I had to revive her when I regrouped. There were other corpses for 2nd run skeletons but I had been too panicked before lol. I can still do decent damage myself with my unique club. I will outgrow it soon for sure but it has a few massive resists on it so I feel like it's worth hanging onto until I find some really good wand.

But yeah, overall blood raven and some cold mob before that were my biggest problems in act 1. Everything else after wqs pretty easy until Andariel (had a sparking mob at one point which I absolutely hate but my lightning res was maxed due to the club so I backed off and let the skeletons deal with them before I could take much damage)

Assuming the best gear, there are a few others. A Light Sorc with the best gear is more powerful than a Hammerdin in many situations, thanks to the Infinity RuneWord (combined with Griffon's). A Trap Assassin isn't far behind, again thanks to Infinity.

A top tier Wind Druid will have very few issues getting through Hell. They're not quite as effective at crowd control as the above builds, but still pretty powerful.

This is all in full games. In solo games (or "/players 1" in Single Player), a few others will not face too much trouble either, except perhaps with maneuverability (but then so does a Javazon if it lacks Enigma/Teleport).

A Summonmancer with Beast/Infinity/Pride (Iron Golem)/etc. will destroy a 1-player game, and probably higher player counts.

I'm a fan of Bowazons, and a well geared one (Windforce, Faith merc, Fortitude, Laying of Hands, etc.) will wreck Hell in a 1-player game.

I hear Orbsins are pretty good too. It's one of the few builds I haven't tried.

Breast Plate, yes. There's Stealth (Tal Eth) and Smoke (Nef Lum).

Bastard Sword, probably not, unless you have a sword Barb with nothing better. There's Steel (Tir El) and Strength (Amn Tir).

That's fine for Spirit. The only meaningful difference is a higher Strength requirement.

Where did you find it though? If you found it too early in the game, it'll only get up to 3 sockets.

Anywhere in Norm Act IV onwards is fine, including Norm Cows.

Damn, must be nice to have lobbies where you can easily join specific games to level up like tomb runs. Console gets shafted again. I managed to join a fresh game last night on my new hammerdin, one guy left at Cain quest while me and the other person played until cube then he quit. It was better than playing solo I guess but we desperately need lobbies.

Killed Diablo with my javazon. Took me like 20 minutes because my poor merc kept getting roasted by lightning breath, and I had to keep going back to town to repair my javelins because the only way I could kill him was wittling him down with plague javelin >_>

What are some good legendary items or rune word combinations that give you a lot of resistances, mana and mana regen?

Im really struggling to control mana costs even with having an Insight pole ax on both my character and my mercenary.

its been a LONG time since I played D2 at high levels but Im pretty sure the answer is always just spam mana pots

Spirit Sword and Insight for Mercs from Act 2 are great for mana management.

Steal Rune Armor and Ancient's Pledge Runeword are great for resistance and early survivability.

I just can't get in to it.

Used to be a massive D2 player in like 2003-2006, had tons of rare loot and actively ran ladder characters non-stop.

I forgot just how slow the start is and I've forgotten everything about what has value, what builds are good, what rune words to get early, etc.

yeah I played back in .08-1.10 and I'm just taking things slow now. I was gonna take it more seriously but then I remembered in the original game I got all my stuff from botting and meph runs with maphack and two of my friends gave me a ton of stuff.

plus I hate the ffa loot system.

Worm den was annoying as expected. Dumb ass skeletons don't do their job well in tight winding hallway areas. Picked up an antidote potion to use when the boss dies because I remember that shit from years ago. May have survived without it but there were still minions left and was not going to take the chance. Merc died though. She sounded so sad lol. Probably gonna keep this one through rest of normal. Guide recommends act 2 nightmare merc so I have a ways to go. Almost done with the first half pf act 2

Ye, I used a stupid high MF frorb sorc with maphack to just teleport to stairs to bosses and and then wreck race, loot and restart. If I was with friends, I'd rush to the boss and open a tp for everyone.

We also used to boost each other to Hell and spam Hellforge runs to farm runes. Our group was rich as hell. Had a huge stash of runes and used to buy/sell gear in trade rooms. We didn't have to bot at all as we had enough of us to fill servers and we all pooled loot so it didn't matter who got it.

my bowazon had a BotD cracked hydra bow and I used to camp people for a while and then show it to them in the trade window LOL

If you dont have friends or people to do it you can make a game offering your forge (Act 4 quest reward) in return for a rush to entice randos.

anyone else feel like enemy AI is messed up? when I made my sorc the quill rats in blood moor would literally just walk around in circles while I stood 10 feet away from them. I remember those things constantly spamming their attack in vanilla.

and on my zon I keep having mobs just walking in straight lines and ignoring me. it's annoying because I have to run in front of them and block them so I can stab them to death

edit: and I don't think the ones running away are the normal fleeing types
