VICTORY!!!!!!

I finally beat Diablo 2 on hell mode!
Well done! I love that game...my friends and I used to have little LAN parties with it, back in the day.

So what character build did you use? Last time I beat it on Hell difficulty, I used a storm druid build.

I used a Bow and Arrow Amazon. The summoned Amazon is awesome. She kept everything at bay while I straifed it. I had a rune helm I made as well that really helped me.

I've never used a "bow-zon" build before...but I've heard that they are among the most powerful. Especially the one called a "glass cannon." I can't remember what it is exactly.

Google to the rescue. Not too shabby, but I'd probably end up getting that sucker killed in minutes. I tend to just charge into battle and mash buttons until everything around me is dead. Which is exactly what you DON'T do with this build.

This is my favorite build, though I like to put more ranks into Oak Sage.

Good stuff.

Sorry, I cant see either one of your links. The Government likes to own me through its filters out here. I am also working on a Paladin that is pretty good so far.

I wouldnt call my Amazon that powerful. I do incredibly low damage. My rune helm however has an 11% chance of casting confusion every time I hit. Since I fire 10 arrows with 1 button push (Strafe) It procs a lot and most of the creatures kill each other. But yeah, my armor and HP suck. I usually get one shotted if anything gets up to me.

I'll try to encapsulate them for you, then.

Glass cannon: an amazon with the Strafe build and specialized, high-damage gear. Called "glass cannons" because they do great damage, but are very fragile.

Abilities: put 95 into strength, then all other points into Dex. No points to mana or vitality.

Skills: maximize Strafe & Penetrate, 16 in Critical Strike and Pierce, 8 to Valk, 7 to Avoid, and 6 to Dodge and Evade.

Gear: highest damage Goth Bow you can find, Rattlecage armor, Goblin Toe boots, Death's Combo, Howltusk, Angelic Ring and ammo, ring with mana steal.

Elemental Druid: a druid with the Hurricane build, and gear that buffs their elemental skills. When fully built, you can just activate your hurricane and wade into battle effortlessly. All but the strongest monsters will die before they get close enough to hurt you.

Abilities: Mana 40. Everything else goes into Vitality, putting only enough points into Str and Dex to wear equipment.

Skills: Max out Firestorm, Twister, Tornado, and Hurricane; put 10 ranks in Oak Sage and Cyclone Armor.

Gear: If you can find it, get Aldur's Watchtower. Until then, wear "Stone" (Shael Um Pul Lum) or "Rain" (Ort Mal Ith) armor and any "+X to (elemental) skills" gear you can find.
