but wouldnt it get kinda boring because dont you want to kill things as quickly as possible?
Try play D2 on hell that way with balanced gear and see what happens.
The game is supposed to be fats paced but this doesn't mean the enemies will be drop outs that never attack and you will kill then all the way you like.
At the moment every class have defensive skills to a certain extend (like crowd controls and scape skills) and imo this means you will have to play both defensive and offensive. At this point your build may specialise you in one side or another.
