Offline/hardcore char what is the best way to go?

[fordraceing_man]

i use to play a lot of d2, then i got into EQ and stopped d2 i just hooked up my computer at home again (got out of the army a few months ago and it was still in a box) well i have a poorly made barb thats in act 3 on hell difficautly. well my patch right now is 1.09 on my computer and i won't be getting the net for a few more months so i wanted to make a uber offline hc char just to have some fun for awhile. anyone know what is the best for offline?

(like i said it has been awhile sence i have played and when i search the forums i mostly read about online)

im downloading the 1.11 patch now am im going to take it home after work and install it on my comp. also is there a cheat for the 1.11 patch so in single player mode you are fighting the mobs like 8 players are in the game?

also what would be the most uber class online and what build im trying too think a head a bit to.

basically the best all around build someone that can solo hell pretty easy. (i hear most about these hammerdans)

yeah,hammerdins are probably your best bet,or maybe a trap assasin

 

[Kilz]

Hammerdins are very good. But they do tend to be items dependant a little. You will need some fcr items and a good shield. If you have no items at all a summon necromancer is a good build. They can solo all the way to hell using what they find or buy in town.

yeah sence this will be a single player char. ok, summon mecro, i though the skellies where really week, also what about like the magot layer and stuff like that? can necros get good items? also how are necros online?

 

[Trojan]

Summon necros blow. Make a trapsin or a zealot.

 

[fordraceing_man]

whys a zealot better?
also if i do a summon necro how do i kill the 3 barbs? i need to have a corpse to raise a skellie right?

kinda leaning towards zealot, but how do they do in hell mode with all the mobs immune to everything?

 

[Kilz]

Necro's are slow. But they do good against a lot of things. Start off any game in act 1 and get a army up fast. Skelly's are a lot better than they were in 1.09.
The reason Im sugesting one is they are not item dependant. For someone starting out with no items it can be hard to make most builds. Necro's can also remove imunities so their army can kill anything. If you havent played 1.10 or 1.11 you may not know that every monster in hell is imune to something.
Zelots are nice, and trapers to. Im just not sure its possible to do one with out any items and no ability to trade.

 

[fordraceing_man]

in 1.09 all mobs in hell are immune to something also

you do need a corpse to raise a skellie right? also do they follow you to town and to portals? reason i ask is because of the 3 barbs

 

[Kilz]

Yes you need a corpse, but the blood moor is a good place to get them when you start a game. A merc and a golem will get you all the corpse's you need. They follow you everyware including thru portals.

 

[fordraceing_man]

im just wondering about the 3 barbs on the summit

 

[Induhvidual_1]

yea your skeles/minions will follow you to arreat summit when you fight the ancients
