Couple suggestions to make your assassin play more fun. First get a insight polearm merc so your able to through down as many traps as you want. Secondly, throw them down all the time where ever you walk, ias helps here. It'll quicken your kills. Third Crescent moon now works on your traps, and is a must. Third, for big groups, don't forget to get one point into death sentry for that corpse explosion.
Just go for death sentry! Sure its a bit less lightning damage than light sentry, but you get the massive increase to corpse explode range. I played death sentry assasin for years and it pwns lightnsentry sin formoverall clearing speed. And enough mind blast so you can keep most monsters stunned and stationary, increases your safety and easier for infinity pole merc and sentries to hit mobs when theyre stopped
I've recently started Diablo 2: Resurrected to get my oldschool fix. And I began with a Holy Fire Paladin. Never went that way, but it's been a lot of fun. It does get tough to get good enough gear towards Act V, however. Magic Find has been pretty okay.
My top is the Fist of Heaven paladin. Its my favourite class anyway, and since they boosted the Fist of Heaven - its number one for me. But i always start a Fire Sorce, make it to Hell act 2 and make my Paladin with the 2x Spirits prepared for him and sometimes +6 Holy Shock Scepter, Spirit, Lore and so on )
FoH pally carried me through my early season recently and was really nice. Swapped to mosaic sin once I got some runes for double mos and enigma. Summoner necro holds a special place in my heart and I should probably revisit and do a better build of it. Lightning javazon is my alltime favorite build even if the tp speed is slow. Haven't really touched druid
I have tried almost all builds with top gear and for me it’s easily the fire druid. It just mows through everything in the game, including Ubers and p8 chaos
Necro - Poisonmancer Barb - Shout Barb Paladin - FoH Pally Sorceress - Nova Sorc Played all with end game gear love those builds never really gotten into ass/druid/zon
VELCOME. To the Diablo 2 research institute. I am your host, Professor Ice DECK! Anyway, Mosaic sin is now the true master of Diablo 2, I know because I have a Tesladin I tried EVERY possible variant of, and a Mosaic sin I just started and have no experience playing, and she kills so fast its like a drag to play my GG Tesladin now.
Nova is my way to go. With max light res she's incredible. Mosaic does more damage but when you find no enemy around you, you start to panic about charges etc. Nova is the most comfortable build to play the endgame.
You should try the Whirlwind Assassin! This build might not be as good as the TrapSin, but it is a lot of fun. If you have amazing gear and are level 95+, you can make it a combination of WhirlwindSin, TrapSin, and KickSin, and you get a lot more variance.
I did mosaic last season and it’s so good it’s like god mode… literally just maintain stacks and blast pack to pack. Had to switch off this season too ez lol
I was running a nova sorc and she was nice but I came across too many mobs and bosses I couldn't kill. I don't have Infinity or Griffon's or anything elite like that. I decided to do wind druid and I've been extremely happy with that character. HOTO, Spirit Monarch, Shako, Enigma, Chancies, Aldur's Boots, SoJ, Dwarfstar, and Nightsmoke belt. I'm killing everything in hell mode. I can kill Baal but he takes too long so I skip him and do everything else.
Really great video here sir. These categories are how i mentally design characters too. Especially when thinking of new ladder season where you have nothing to tweak a character with. You have to go budget and build up to end game. You have to be able to mf and it needs to be easy and speedy. Such a good video, this one
Summon Necro is the best period! I personally always run flickering flame helm. +3 to corpse explosion -10% to -15% enemy fire res, and virtual immunity to fire res. Infinity and bramble on merc. With a Hustle golem.... Bro just unbelievable
Barb: Whirlwind - dual Grief, with Azurewrath for undead heavy areas, switching between G-face/Arreat and Loh/Steelrend depending on the area Amazon: Infinity/Lightning strike Paladin: selfcast Holy Shock and Holy Freezee Druid: Fire druid all the way Necro: Poison Nova Sorc: I don't play sorc Assassin: nope
I find there are usually pvm and pvp based skill trees. Back when the game was still kinda young you remember a LOT more people dueled and pvp was as big a part of the game as pvm. A great example is the bowazon who is a GREAT duelist and the javelin set which is superior in pvm.
I love me some bowazon. Think Windforce is my favorite unique in the game. Don't forget the trapsin also gets corpse explosion with the Death Sentry trap. Throw 4 lightning boyes and 1 death sentry and GG.
How you feel about Trapsins is how I feel about Summon Necros. I don't want to stand around waiting for something else to get a kill. Yeah Summon is quicker bc you can then corpse explode, but hey you can do that with traps too! And it's just as boring.
My favorite build is bash find potion barb, I run it just for early ladder to get rich by selling full rejuves after smashing in skulls and pushing mobs shizz back in
@@jumpinbuddah420 they said in february, and it's always 1-2 weeks after they announce it. they didnt announce it this week, next week is highest probability.
Amazon was my first, and I had made her a bowazon. Guided missile + pierce was OP till they "fixed" it :( Bowazon just hasn't been as good since considering it was so easy to melt bosses. Unsure how they play otherwise since I stopped playing Amazon since that fix back then, but I might make another bowazon anyway for nostalgia. Sorc: Nova Druid: Fury Assassin: Bladesin Necro: Pnova Amazon: Bowazon but I hate javazons PLD: Hammerdin Barb: WW is just too fun This was a hard choice since I like so many builds depending on my mood. Like for sorc I love making a litorb build, but only bc using Forb is satisfying, just sucks it's so weak. Never did like the fire spells. Trapsins are fun too as well. Fishymancer is great when I want to be lazy but find it boring otherwise. I still need to try other druid, pally and barb builds really, I've only done the ones I've wrote. I usually am stuck on my sorceress 99% of the time since it quickly became my favorite after the amazon nerf.
I know Mosaic gets a bad rap because it's OP but damn it's cool to play. I think of all those hours spent inching through chaos with a frenzy barb :( It's payback time with the Mosaic assassin.
I'm waiting for someone to ACTUALLY do an Ubers run with each character in a video like this. It's mainly smiters and kicksins that I see. I'm pretty sure all builds can do an Ubers run.
I have been grinding d2r single player for years and still haven't found a griffons, soj, or 2 bers to make an infinity. Otherwise I would be rocking light sorc for sure
I remember lightning trap assassin being one of the most fun builds I played until I got to hell difficulty and the amount of lightning immune mobs. Think I gave up on it pretty early in but I'm sure there were ways around later.
Don’t sleep in that druid I’m having a blast and he hits like a truck but until you have enigma it’s rough but very doable lots of areas to farm with the two damage sorces and cyclone armor absorbs a ton of damage. Can’t wait tell I get my javazon geared it’s a side project I’m working on and can’t fucken wait
Im more like class/skill: blizzard, zeal, ww with frenzy buff, kicksin, fend zon, zoo druid, i dont have a prefence on necro, hardly use him but corpse explosion ofc. Close 2nd are fire sorc and lightning zon... im a bit of a melee freak
come on, if you hit on trapsin taking time for traps to kill stuff then you also have to hit on summon necro timing of getting your army up and running... that shit aint instant either
Always wonder why ppl talking about budget in solo/offline game. You get what you find. In online if you buy Item you want, you just pay by items, currency you find(farm,grind ect.) so Item xxx cost XXX runs or simillar. But if you play ssf (like in Poe, ) word "budget" make no sense for me. You aquire items by finding/farming/grinding. No currency need. Just time to find items you need. The only budget you need is time and luck.
I agree with most of this list except the singer barb, I am not a fan at all. The mana consumption is painful without gear and even with GG gear it feels like playing a nova sorc that traded almost all its damage for a stun, sure its safe but the kill speed is so slow which feels terrible. I personally like the WW, pitzerker, and the throw barb better not only because it feels like playing a barbarian but it actually does something that dosen't feel like a gimped version of a different build.
I feel like WW barb is better than the singer, you get more to plus skills with it. But find item doesn't work with MF (so I'm told), and you can still get pretty high MF end game. It is a mana hog though
:O hey FRAND who doesn't play hero wars lol nice to see ya on another d2r channel would be cool if you could help me get geared on d2r ladder season or just online if you would sometime
Title is a bit missleading because you mention best build for each character, and then you put down your preferences. Sorceress => Frozen Orb + either Fireball, Firewall, Nova Paladin => Hammerdin. FoH without gear is plain bad. Barbarian => Whirlwind. Nothing beats this, quick efficient and doesn't require gear other than big weapon damage and some mana leech. The plus part is, it doesn't spot you from investing into Find Item. Rest of the builds are exactly the best builds.
My current fav is a werewolf. I has a act 5 merc with lawbringer, which breaks all physical immunes and now you can summon pets to protect you. The kills come quick.
@@stephenphelan626 reapers toll or physical immune sunder charm. End game would be eth reapers toll with zod rune. Death also works ok with ice arrow merc. Cold damage deals with physical immunity.
What you call ease I call boredom. I will never touch a summon necro, it's so boring. I really like builds where you can do something, use different skills, position your character, chose a monster to attack and so on. Thus, my favourite class is amazon. I really like different Bowazons but the Javazon is generally a lot stronger. Fof the Sorc, I would agree on nova for fun, but dual builds like FO/FB early on. The druid is pretty good on fire although wind will be your best playthrough. Since I'm still playing LOD I cannot use a throw barb which might be my favourite in D2R. The Paladin is weird. He has so many good builds, it's hard to chose. Hammerdin in LOD might be the easiest but you can literally play through the game with normal difficulty equipment on a holy freeze paladin. I like melee assassins as well as fire traps and blades. I could end up with any weird combination of skills, but I will just mention Riftsin and TS/DT kicksin with the decrepify sword.
After playing Mosiac literally every other character is too boring to play lol. I'm not sure how you can find summon necromancer fun and anything else boring as that character is horribly boring.
HA HA HA! You underestimate fire druid by A LOT dude!!! It might as well be the strongest build in the entire game with endgame gear. Definitely an expensive char, but OH mama, does it fly through P8 looking awesome.
Gotta admire this guy's dedication for Diablo 2.

Insight on merc?? Thats a crazy take
a well built BowZon is my absolute favorite. Council till my fingers bleed
Had lots of fun with freenzy/find item barb this session. And from all that loot i made a dream paladin also been lots of fun.
I agree about the Trap Assassin. Add to that you're wielding a shield and mace and it really just doesn't feel much like an Assassin.
I've recently started Diablo 2: Resurrected to get my oldschool fix. And I began with a Holy Fire Paladin. Never went that way, but it's been a lot of fun. It does get tough to get good enough gear towards Act V, however. Magic Find has been pretty okay.
Summon Necro with Enigma is my favorite class. So godly with top end gear.
Takes a while to get the revives each time but damn it's fun tele stomping.
My top is the Fist of Heaven paladin. Its my favourite class anyway, and since they boosted the Fist of Heaven - its number one for me.
But i always start a Fire Sorce, make it to Hell act 2 and make my Paladin with the 2x Spirits prepared for him and sometimes +6 Holy Shock Scepter, Spirit, Lore and so on )

Throwbarb for me! Since they fixed throwing its my main love.

The Barb face definitely looks like Phil 😂

thats the thing. its soo easy that u lose interest playing game and when you play other characters you are like man this is so weak

Hi I'm James, I'm a summon necro. *Hi James!* Been summon necroing since 1999, still can't quit.

I personally always run flickering flame helm. +3 to corpse explosion -10% to -15% enemy fire res, and virtual immunity to fire res.
Infinity and bramble on merc. With a Hustle golem.... Bro just unbelievable
Which build should i just go Bone,Poison or summoner (am new to the game like 1-2 weeks new) am confused a lot any suggestions?
Sweet, Phil!
Barb: Whirlwind - dual Grief, with Azurewrath for undead heavy areas, switching between G-face/Arreat and Loh/Steelrend depending on the area
Amazon: Infinity/Lightning strike
Paladin: selfcast Holy Shock and Holy Freezee
Druid: Fire druid all the way
Necro: Poison Nova
Sorc: I don't play sorc
Assassin: nope

Bow zon
Fireball sorc
Hammerdin

Orb sorc
Zerker
Bone sprit necro
Trap sin
HELL YEAH 'NSYNC
I find myself on my dragondin or ww barb most often, still rock a javazon, cold sorc, wind druid, light trap sin or summon necro on occasion though!
I love me some bowazon. Think Windforce is my favorite unique in the game. Don't forget the trapsin also gets corpse explosion with the Death Sentry trap. Throw 4 lightning boyes and 1 death sentry and GG.

So where's the Amazon?

maybe if could add on maxroll thanks for your work very good
summon necro require enigma to keep your sanity so i'd not call this a budget build
thats corpse explosion necromancer not summoner necromancer...

Fire druid is way faster and easier to play than the wind one, you just have to give it a go, the only problem is, its resistances
Man hammerdin didn’t make it?? Easily the best for clearing monsters for how few magic damage immunes there are

Mosaic sin is amazing and way better than traps. Super budget too, just 2 Gul 2 Mal and you can clear pretty much anything.
