Starting Classic D2, Suggestion for my 1st char please?

[Xadark]

So what char do u think guys is better to start and what type? Another question: How do i lvl in classic, I mean there is no baal runs... Any help would be appreciated, thx.

 

[Dragnskull]

i played classic in 1.09

i still have mules of dupes and whatnot for nl...heh

now that 1.10 has come out, im guessin either a blizz sorc or a hammerdin would pwn, but if you have no gear, make a summon necro, they can always do good at keeping u alive and doing stuff w/ no gear (ill be it there slow as **** though)

keep in midn that mercs cant lvl or wear gear, so dont invest in one...also, last time i checked, cows and cs runs were the best way to lvl in classic...

 

[Xadark]

Hehe thx, i was thinking in a blizz sorc too, but doesnt CS have a lot of cold inmunes in hell?... More suggestion appreciated. btw im pvm mainly

 

[Darkmatter]

A Barb might suit you then. Immunities can be ignored with a barbarian since they have great physical damage and they can also use beserk in case you have any physical immunes.

 

[Xadark]

Hehe thx, any suggestion for fast lvling?

Suggestions please.

Anyone???????

kk, ill share all my knowledge with you, gear wise, and character wise (seeing how im about the only person that played classic as my primary diablo version)
*everything here is dated, since i played in 1.09*

from my experience, the best type of character to make when noob, would be a summoner, the immunes dont effect his summons, and even with crap gear he can manage most areas (slowly, but he still can)

the best way to lvl would be cows and cs, usin ga barbarian with the highest bo you can get, a blizzard sorc, a lightning sorc, a hammerdin (guessing since 1.10 is out), a javazon, and a summon necro w/ corpse explosion.

honestly i would use a barb since ur a (noob???) im not sure on that noob part but if u are i would use a barb because they are the easiest to manage and they lvl quick and everyone likes them for the bo !!

i dont suggest making a pally. no enigma or hoto. no hoz. the whole effect of the paladin is to teleport and do high amounts of damage. a sorc might do good. you could use some of the normal mfer gear except for occy. a sorc might be very good too.

 

[Darkmatter]

Ya..Sorc could be your primary MF Character, then you could make your other characters with the items you find.

 

[Trojan]

it's harder in classic tho. no pindle to drop godlies.

 

[err0r]

meph is great for MFing in classic Diablo and Cows aswell.

 

[EEX_ca_aok]

I wouldnt recommend a barb. With none of the high level uniques/runewords, you'll be reliant on whatever rares you can find. I'd make a sorc of some sort because they can do thousands of damage with totally shit gear, which is what youll have in classic, especially just starting out.

A Barb might suit you then. Immunities can be ignored with a barbarian since they have great physical damage and they can also use beserk in case you have any physical immunes.

yeah barbs are great for mf in classic, and they have great physical dmg, there good for a first char cuz in d1 the warrior is most prob. like him

 

[Dragnskull]

barb is not a good idea for a first character. because of the fact that you have no gear for him, means his damage will suck.

i honostly suggest your first character being a summon necro, then moving up to a sorc, then having a barb being made naer the end...

make a sorc so u can mf and get items and then make a barb so u tank and beat the shit out of ppl :grunt
