Man I’ve binge watched all of these in the last few days. I actually got so excited to see you had a new video when I sat down with my dinner looking for something to watch. Your content is underrated, your sense of humour is on point, keep up the content man, I know I enjoy the fck out of it. Thank you!!
Another great video! After finding your videos about a year ago I've tried a few times to do hc ssf. I've always just played online, but yesterday I beat the game hc ssf for the first time. It's such a fun way to play. Thanks for the content and for introducing me to this style of playing the game.Can't wait to see more videos!
@@thenuclearrabbit So amazing. The x series was so much better than the regular one in my opinion. I tried 11 lately and it got some aspects from the x series. I recommend you try it.
I will definitely try the Classic one someday. By the way, you said that you plan to record the walkthrough with all possible builds. How many are there in total? Has anyone even tried to count them?
Another great video. Every time I watch your video, it motivates me to do a new run in the classic version. My own experience of playing the classic mode in the remaster and watching your videos makes me think seriously. Did we really need an addon? The balance of the classic version seems clearer and fairer, and is more comfortable to play with most classes. I think at some point the original Blizzard North team took a wrong turn and even the new team's work on the resurrection didn't improve the situation much. :\
Thank you! The addon is just a very different experience and I honestly think both are enjoyable in their own way. The biggest issue with the full game for me is that the difficulty spikes are insane for melee builds. Classic is a much more consistent experience. Assassin and Druid have the same fluidity in the full game as the other builds do in the original. So they definitely knew what they were doing with the balance. It's just a preference thing I think in the end
I could not for the life of me get into PoE. It was just to overwhelming. But I will be checking out PoE 2 :) Diablo 2 will always be one of the GOAT games though
Your videos are great. I think a cool series would be to try and do these builds but without changing away from Players 8. Players 8 Hell run with a Frenzy Barb sounds impossible lol.
I'm selfish because I'm on my 2nd attempt with a Barbarian and I've gotten stuck in Hell Act 1 both times... I need tips and tricks haha.@@thenuclearrabbit
Yeah no that sounds completely as I expected it to go and exactly why I'm not really into it. But it's a very popular request so I'm gonna do it at some point. Not for a while though. Strat wise. Farm the dungeon next to blood raven cause it's relatively safe. Get up to lvl 85+ (for chance to hit) and use the biggest weapons you can find.
Should have gone straight holy fire till nightmare act 4, its such an easy ride. You should come to bnet and do some classic hc! We got a good community there! Keep up the content, and do more classic vids! And join Bnet!
Classic or LOD, Holy Fire Pally is by far my favorite way to run through normal. Only thing close is a Fire Druid with a Leaf staff. Fire just buttfuxx normal 😂 Also would be highly interested to see you play though true classic, without the synergies and patches. Hammerdin was truly not a viable class in classic lmao
Yeah both Fire and Poison just wreck normal. I've been asked to play true classic and LoD a bunch. Which is wild to me I love the new graphics and QoL stuff so much haha. But people do seem to want it so it's on my to-do list.
Hammerdin not viable in original classic? Are you high? Blessed hammer + concentration was hell viable back in 1.03 because concentration (at the time) was bugged and gave a massive damage boost to the hammers (even though it didn't show on the character screen) which it wasn't supposed to do since BH was a magic attack. Blizzard then stealth nerfed the BH+conc combo in 1.04 to make concentration no longer work with BH at all, which caused a whole bunch of paladin players to flood the blizzard forums and complain about the stealth nerf until Bliz gave in and reverted the change for 1.05. Hammerdins didn't even need to invest any points in dexterity because shield block rate wasn't dependent on your dex, only on the shield's listed block rate. Except for one single patch, the hammerdin has been the paladin's strongest mob killing build ever since 1.03.
So, Classic WW Barb is one of the best builds in the game, but Full Game WW Barb is just fine, Classic Summonmancer is like sh1t while Full Game Summonmancer is one of the best builds in the game. But Hammerdin is like OP in every version, and every patch in the game. That sounds about right...
So classic with a controller basically always had the "quick cast" that was introduced in d2r? Some classes and builds it hardly matters but I wouldn't want to play some of my more complex builds without it. I've never playd d2 on consol, let alone a controller so I'm curious, seeing this.
I've never played true classic only the remastered version. They did bring along playersx and other QoL stuff so I'm guessing it was a part of that. Playing on controller is just a matter of getting used to it. I prefer it cause it means I don't have to use a mouse and keyboard for everything I do. It also means my recording sessions are just chilling out in my living room instead of at a desk :)
"and we just kill him because we are a hammerdin and the rules of the game do not apply to us" 😂😂😂... a lot of truth to that... i have a lvl 65 zon on ladder hc pre expansion and its really disappointing the lack of gear she has and the damage she can do. yeah you can clear the game but farming it? barbs can do it better, hammerdins can do it better, sorcs can do it better, necro can do it better... i think zon may be the worst class pre expansion and that really blew my mind.
I didn't know. I haven't done Zon in classic yet. To be fair though, I feel the same way about Druids and Necro's in expansion. Once you beat the game with them they feel kinda done. Which is a shame cause the Poison Nova Necro and the Fire Druid are some of my favorite builds.

I am not much into classic... but man, your content is just so good anyway. Your voice, humour, all the information, everything.
Thank you!

Gratz! Well done. What build did you use? I'll keep 'm coming :)
@@thenuclearrabbit Thanks! I used a bonespear necro. Found a shako in nm. Lost him today haha.
Rip. But still good times well done. Shako is probably the best item you could find so that is sweet haha
Megaman x music makes everything more epic!
I bought the game for my 7th birthday and it has been one of my all-time favs since. I replay it at least once a year. Such an amazing game
@@thenuclearrabbit So amazing. The x series was so much better than the regular one in my opinion. I tried 11 lately and it got some aspects from the x series. I recommend you try it.
I have it :) it's pretty fun
For HCCL always thumbs up
Hccl means ladder right? Cause this was offline not ladder. :) thank you though!
@@thenuclearrabbit Hardcore Classic mean HCCL, Hardcore Classic Ladder HCCLD. Great series :)
@@kau6416 Thx! And thank you :)
В этом видео всего даже больше чем я ожидал! Великолепное прохождение.
Thank you!
good to know that hammers were just as broken back then
Love these videos. Keep up the good work 💪🙂
Thank you! Will do
Welp since I binged all of Zarfen's videos guess I gotta binge all of yours now lol
Excellent choice
I will definitely try the Classic one someday. By the way, you said that you plan to record the walkthrough with all possible builds. How many are there in total? Has anyone even tried to count them?
My excel sheet is up to about 300. And I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.
Really nice!!!
Thank you

This game is GOAT go eat your heart out POE2 >.> j/k apples to oranges

Your videos are great. I think a cool series would be to try and do these builds but without changing away from Players 8. Players 8 Hell run with a Frenzy Barb sounds impossible lol.
It's not impossible but it does sound very tedious to be honest. It gets requested a lot though, so I might just do it at some point
I'm selfish because I'm on my 2nd attempt with a Barbarian and I've gotten stuck in Hell Act 1 both times... I need tips and tricks haha.@@thenuclearrabbit

@thenuclearrabbit I'll give that a shot man. Thanks.
A WELL?? Inside the claw viper temple ? This normal ?
Yeah there is one temple tile that always spawns a well. You can encounter it in every big act 2 temple.
Should have gone straight holy fire till nightmare act 4, its such an easy ride. You should come to bnet and do some classic hc! We got a good community there! Keep up the content, and do more classic vids! And join Bnet!
I might do that in the future. I'm not very big on battlenet though. I really like playersX commands and not lagging :)
Classic is the stuff, but you need to invite a few friends to play with over LAN
Oh that does sound like fun.
Here !! For comedy . Stay !! Becuz suffer playthrough 🙋❤ love u nuclear
❤️
Would you do this again without respec?
You mean going fire paladin till the end? Or just not really doing anything till I get hammers?
@@thenuclearrabbit I did it with foh/smite, those 2 options sound painful
Oh just any build without respeccing? Yeah sure I'll add it to the list.
Classic or LOD, Holy Fire Pally is by far my favorite way to run through normal. Only thing close is a Fire Druid with a Leaf staff. Fire just buttfuxx normal 😂
Also would be highly interested to see you play though true classic, without the synergies and patches. Hammerdin was truly not a viable class in classic lmao
Yeah both Fire and Poison just wreck normal. I've been asked to play true classic and LoD a bunch. Which is wild to me I love the new graphics and QoL stuff so much haha. But people do seem to want it so it's on my to-do list.

Except for one single patch, the hammerdin has been the paladin's strongest mob killing build ever since 1.03.
ww barbarian and hammerdin i guess were too powerful in classic
They were pretty good yeah
So, Classic WW Barb is one of the best builds in the game, but Full Game WW Barb is just fine, Classic Summonmancer is like sh1t while Full Game Summonmancer is one of the best builds in the game. But Hammerdin is like OP in every version, and every patch in the game.
That sounds about right...
It does, doesn't it haha
Hammerdin is garbage in expansion for 1.07-1.09. Also, classic 1.07 and 1.08. Classic 1.00-1.06 and 1.09, it's usable but pretty underwhelming.
... sorry we only have silks/goldskin-
We don't have Enigmas-
Even something like a stealth or a lionheart blows every classic armor out of the water
Im back to classic, no runes, no moasic
Good luck! Classic is a ton of fun :)
I can say that tal ammy does not exist in LoD either 😂 picked up maybe 1000 ammy with none being tal
If I wasn't on single player I'd just give you a couple of them. I have... more than 1 lol. Just keep picking them up you'll get it :)
Lvl40 in hell, how come?
You can just do that in Classic. I think with a bit of practice I could clear Hell at lvl 45-46ish in Classic.
So classic with a controller basically always had the "quick cast" that was introduced in d2r? Some classes and builds it hardly matters but I wouldn't want to play some of my more complex builds without it. I've never playd d2 on consol, let alone a controller so I'm curious, seeing this.

Your block is nerfed while running
I know but thanks for the reminder
@@thenuclearrabbit oh man I forgot I put this comment I watched the rest of the vid after that comment and you brought it up in the video my bad lol
@@Pignuglama No worries! It's all good I'm just happy people watch my videos
Dodgeballllllls
Dodgeballs!!
first!
this dont look like classic,,,,,
What? How does it not it's literally Classic mode.
@@thenuclearrabbit Probably because of the synergies, they're an abomination that shouldn't belong in classic because they didn't exist before LoD.
