just bought Diablo 2 remaster. what am i in for?
why are you here asking these questions? think for yourself
>buying Diablo II
>buying any remaster ever
Is this a bait thread?
Necro, sorceress or druid. Don't bother with barbarian since his shit scales with weapons and you will have a bad time without getting good shit. Last time I replayed with barb it was a potion chugging simulator because I couldn't hit shit. Not sure about others but 3 I mentioned have skills that scale with skill level which will be enough to get through normal difficulty. Wity those you will still chug potions if msna but at least you won't miss.
just start playing you moron.
Lets analyze what happened here.
Diablo 2 has existed for 2 decades. You could have played it at any time. The original version is, by some miracle, still up.
But you saw a new version that came out, that troonyfied the Amazon and fixed the grevious error of not having "gender inclusive language", and decided "yes, this is the interactive experience for me".
I hate you people so much it's unreal. You cannot possibly fathom how much I despise the existence of you. The casual morons and the no taste homosexuals haven't made a dent in this hobby compared to the destructive force of people like you. Get boosted (5th jab approved soon!) homosexual.
It’s literally better dumbfrick. The graphics are great, they made a bunch of QoL changes and buffed some useless skills and put out new runewords. It’s better in every imaginable way. You’re not even gonna have to look at your ugly troonyzon once you put a helm on
>The graphics are great
"classic mode" looks like complete crap
that is not how it used to like, in fact you can play the original version and see it for yourself
And yet the new graphics are still better so your comment is dumb and you’re gay
The new graphics suck, the animations are stupid and everything looks bland
They knew a lot of people would prefer the old visual style and that's the fricking reason they included the option to switch graphics on the spot. You're a complete moron.
>the new graphics are still better
It's up but everything is run by bots
>what am i in for?
Woke shit.
just don't play barb or melee builds they're all dogshit
Do whatever you want
Normal difficultly is doable even with a dogshit build
>never played any Diablo game in my life
you won't like it, barely anyone who wasn't deeply conditioned during their childhood can stomach it. And even those "people" are in for "economy" and not game itself.
i bought it when it came out and didn't get past act 2 i think. the place where you fight something in a graveyard. its hard to play after path of exile improved on everything and the quality of life. and i dont even like path of exile
That's like 10 minutes into the game you ADHD moron
Start with some kind of spell caster. If you make a melee build but can’t find a source of attack rating you’ll be struggling. Would recommend fireball/frozen orb or fireball/blizzard sorceress, trap assassin, summon necro with corpse explosion, bone necro, hammer paladin, elemental druid, summon Druid. Sorceress is generally the best starter character because she’s strong enough to easily farm nightmare Mephisto untwined and can do it fastest thanks to teleport. Once you get some better items from farming, then you’ll have an easier time with some other builds. If you want to play a melee character, basically the main thing you’re gonna need is a decent weapon and the ring and amulet from the angelic set, which aren’t too rare and drop from the usual suspects (nightmare/hell mephisto/Andariel/diablo/Baal). Don’t bother farming in normal, there isn’t really anything you can find in normal that won’t just get replaced later. If you want to farm socketed bases, farm the secret cow level with zero magic find. Save at least one respec on every character for super high level so you can decide at that point what your final build is gonna be.
Once you’re at a very high level with goodish gear, start looking up breakpoints. Faster cast rate (for casters) and increased attack speed (for melee). These stats are just as important as base damage if not more in certain cases, but they don’t work like you think they do. Each class has unique breakpoints that they have to reach for these increased rates to take effect. This also applies to your mercenary and any character that has shapeshifted into a werewolf/bear. Look up a list of low level rune words and familiarize yourself with them. The big two that get used a lot are insight and spirit. Always make spirit in a crystal sword because it has the lowest stat requirement. If you don’t know what merc to use, just use act 2 holy freeze from nightmare difficulty. That’s pretty much the basics. There’a tons of stuff to learn but you will get there eventually just by playing and and looking stuff up as you go
Also save the socket quest from larzuk and the imbue quest from charsi. The item charsi rolls is level based and you get the best results at like level 93+ iirc. The larzuk quest is literally the only way to socket some items and is incredibly valuable. Don’t waste it on an item you’re just gonna replace
>complete newbie
>at level 93+
kek, you probably never played single player in your life
Single player is all I play because I don’t have internet. There’s a 99.9% chance charsi will give you something useless anyway so there’s no reason not to wait till you’re 93+ to imbue. Even still, it’a a useful way to have a chance at a godly circlet or fool’s claw. It’s worth saving
Dude doesn't even know what to expect or what item level means, having that quest completed is far more enjoyable than just waiting
So basically you’re saying that I’m right but I shouldn’t give people advice even though they ask for it because… reasons?
>dad I want to be an astronaut how good is it?
>remember to save this straw, it's going to come handy when you're in space
It doesn’t take that long to get to level 90. You’ll be level 70 in like two or three days playing casually unless you get stuck because you’re playing melee with no attack rating
>You’ll be level 70 in like two or three days playing casually
Maybe. But 70 is not 90, dummie. I can make 20 new characters to get the charsi quest in the time it takes you to get from 90 to 91
And never put points into energy on any character except for maybe an energy shield sorceress. Completely useless stat. Once you have insight energy is totally useless. General rule is raise your stats high enough to wear your equipment and pump the rest into vit
I bought the collection of D2 and D3 and I like D3 way more
D2 is too slow for my taste

ignore other posts, anon
just play the game with whatever class you like the looks of, they all have different ways of playing them, which you will find out later on
every class is good
every build is good
what is not good is reading optimized endgame walkthroughs or other guide-homosexual's opinions
consider giving hardcore a chance if you do enjoy it. adds a whole layer to the game thats much more engaging.
as far as class i'd for skeleton summoner(Necro) once you get some levels you start picking up useful curses(amp damage, decrepify) and corpse explosion starts raping once you get into nightmare difficulty and can manage your mana.
Your in for fun until you reach hell and cant go further due to immunities for whatever your build is. Good luck finding runes for conviction aura merc
>t. newbie moron
Almost every build has a way to deal with immunes. The only class that really needs conviction is lightning sorc. Meteorb and blizzball are a thing, corpse explosion does split damage, trapsin has fire blast and death sentry, ele/summon druid both do two damage types. If you’re using bone necro or hammerdin, there are literally like two enemies in the game that are magic immune and you just have your merc kill them. Melee builds can use lawbringer on swap or reapers toll on the merc
To be fair, no newbie would assume they have to train TWO elements, as in every other game maximizing one skill just works and the game practically encourages you to focus on one thanks to synergies. There is abolsolutely no reason to go bi-elemental until you find immunes and you're already lvl 50+
To be fair, the game gives you three respecs for free and you can grind for more
If you've been playing all this time with a limited set of skills, it's more than obvious that you have no idea what the other skills do. And hell difficulty, where immunes begin to appear, isn't the best place to experiment.
Then like any normal person who gets stuck, you will google “how do I deal with immunes on hell?” and problem solved
And you’d be wasting your time
You're an idiot
OP, ignore this guy
just play the game and learn for yourself

>what am i in for?
A pretty simple game that only gets complex when you try to min-max
>what class is good to start and what to build?
Every class works, and don't worry too much about builds, you're better off using all skills that you find useful
