Well the necromancer was boring because he isn't very "involved". All you have to do is summon skeletons, golum, etc and cast curses. But you don't do any of the actual fighting. After playing over and over as a summoner it's just boring. I'm playing single player as paladin, and I'm going to make a hammerdin.. hopefully I can beat hell before May 15th, and then play Diablo 3.
I don't think it matters what character/build I use though - you're right, after playing D2 storyline and acts about "5 gajillion times", it's not as exciting anymore. But I still want to beat hell with a powerful build, just so that I can have accomplished that. xD
Okay so on D2 I never beat hell mode and I never played online for very long.. I always played single player offline. Why? Well I was pretty young at the time and the game was obviously harder for a 12 year old, and I got bored of starting new characters and doing the same storyline over and over. The furthest I managed was a summoner necromancer to the end of nightmare (which became VERY boring, just clicking summon over and over, standing behind minions and waiting).
Now I feel like I haven't accomplished enough. Since D3 is going to always be online and have hell and inferno modes, and I'm 16 (bit older, smarter, more dedicated video gamer), I want to play D3 really well. So I'm considering starting a D2 character, and playing through the whole game (beat hell and all). Do this before D3 comes out, so I've got some practice and experience in the higher difficulties.
First, should I do this offline single player or online? Someone mentioned that the online ladders are resetting on May 2nd. Should I wait for that and play then, or just do single player? I've got no experience playing online at all, and I honestly prefer diablo to be single player, since that's how I've always played it.
Which character should I play? I'm not doing my necromancer anymore, it's just too dull. Summoning is boring for me, and to be honest, it's far too easy. I made an incredible summoner build which killed anything in nightmare, but it was repetitive and slow. I'm thinking of making a hammerdin or something - something really strong that I can just breeze through hell mode with. Any ideas?
