This is all the builds that I've seen through the years,and some that I've made up.I might make guides,but whatever.If you have any,please reply and I'll add them.Some are just for a new challenge.I'm making this so I don't have to remember them all when I get bored and want to make a new one
The skills you want maxed first are in red. Once you've practically maxed whatever,put whatever you want in anything else.Weapons used for the char are listed in blue. Builds made for experts are listed in green.
Amazons:
Magezon - Magic Arrow, Guided Arrow, Inner Sight, Slow Missiles Bow, Crossbow
Fire Magezon - Fire Arrow, Exploding Arrow, Immolation Arrow, Inner Sight, Slow Missiles Bow, Crossbow
Ice Magezon - Cold Arrow, Ice Arrow, Freezing Arrow, Inner Sight, Slow Missiles Bow, Crossbow
Monster Hunterzon - Multiple Shot, Strafe, Critical Strike, Dodge, Avoid, Evade Bow, Crossbow
Player Hunterzon - Guided Arrow, Multiple Shot, Critical Strike, Dodge, Avoid, Evade Bow, Crossbow

Summonerzon - Valkyrie, Decoy, Dodge, Avoid, EvadeAny weapon
Quickzon - Jab, Fend, Critical Strike Javelin, Spear
Lightning Magezon - Lightning Bolt, Charged Strike, Lightning Fury, Valkyrie Javelin
Thunder Magezon - Power Strike, Charged Strike, Lightning Strike, Critical Strike Spear
Poison Magezon - Poison Javelin, Plague Javelin, Pierce, Jab Javelin
Impaler - Impale, Critical Strike, Jab Spear
*EXTRA NOTES FOR AMAZON*
Lightning Magezon uses Javelin skills like Lightning Fury, and Thunder Magezon uses Spear skills like Charged Strike and etc.
Poison Magezon uses Pierce so its Javelins can go through targets instead of having to aim to the side for poison effect
It's preferable that for Summonerzon that you use a Bow or Throwing Knife, or have a item that gives a ranged attack so your summons don't just go alone.If you want, invest in Magic Arrow and Guided Arrow
Barbarian:
Monk - Bash, Stun, Concentrate, Berserk, Axe/Pole Arm/Spear mastery, Natural Resistance Axe, Pole Arm, Spear, Staff*
Frog* - Leap, Leap Attack, Concentrate, Pole Arm Mastery, Howl* Pole Arm
Frenzy Barb - Double Swing, Frenzy, Sword/Axe/Mace Mastery, Increased Speed, Increased Stamina Any 2 one-handed weapons
Throw Barb - Double Swing, Double Throw, Throwing Mastery, Increased Speed, Iron Skin Any 2 throwing weapons
WW Barb - Whirlwind, Sword/Axe/Pole Arm/Spear Mastery, Leap (Attack) Any 2 one-handed swords, Axe, Pole Arm, Spear
Berserker - Berserk, Concentrate, Any mastery, Natural Resistance Any weapon
Karaoke Singer - Shout, Battle Orders, Battle Command, Any mastery, Any combat skill Any weapon*
War Singer - Taunt, Battle Cry, War Cry Any Weapon
All Singer - Taunt,Battle Cry, War Cry, Shout, Battle Orders, Battle Command Any weapon
*EXTRA NOTES FOR BARBARIAN*
*Staffs are more accurate to the Monk build. If you use a staff, it's better if you use the staff "Ribcracker"
*Dragoon is a much cooler name than Frog, but if you want an accurate Dragoon you should use Pole Arms or Spears
*Invest only a few points into Howl. It's used so you can scare monsters away, and then jump them from a far distance
*For Karaoke Singer, it's a good idea to use a throwing weapon with the mod that adds to Warcries, or use CTA (Call to Arms) with Lidless or Spirit
Necromancer:
Cursed Swordmancer - Amplify, Weaken, Iron Maiden, Life Tap, Decrepify, Bone Armor Any one-handed weapon
Sorc Helper - Lower Resist, Bone Armor, Bone Wall, Fire Golem, Bone Spirit/Spear Any one-handed weapon

Golemmancer - Clay Golem, Blood Golem, Iron Golem, Fire Golem, Golem Mastery, Summon Resist Any one-handed weapon
*EXTRA NOTES FOR NECROMANCER*
*If you use Poison Dagger, it's obvious that instead of any one-handed weapon you use a good dagger
*Difficulty depends on choice of weapon.See below
*If you want a realistic and very challenging experience,instead of any one-handed weapon you use a variety of throwing potions. This alters the difficulty of an Alchemist if you use a throwing potion. If you can kill anything if you use a throwing Alchemist, you are the master of Diablo 2
Paladin:
Martyr - Sacrifice, Fanaticism, Redemption, Zeal Any weapon*
Smiter - Smite, Holy Shield, Defiance, Fanaticism, Charge Any one-handed weapon*

*EXTRA NOTES FOR PALADIN*
*For Martyr, unless your a Suicide Pally, you must have an item that gives Life Leech, or you'll kill yourself
*When saying one-handed weapon, I mean a good shield. You might want another weapon that gives Increased Attack Speed or something
*Also called Healer, but White Mage sounds cooler
*Also called Healer, this is a White Mage that specializes in resists
*If it's not offending to anyone, this can also be called Missionary
*The name Magic Thrower comes from a glitch that some bows on chars that normally don't use them have. It makes it look like they are just throwing arrows.See below for the "magic" part of Magic Thrower
*It is preferable that you obtain a "Widowmaker" bow.This fires magic arrows (hence Magic Thrower) and gives any char Guided Arrow
