Favorite Diablo 2 Characters: oh the nostalgia is flooding back.
media haze \| 10:01 PM on 04.05.2008	8 comments

Flaakmonkey 's post just reminded me of how much fun I had with D2 back in the day. Hours upon hours of mf'ing, dueling, PowerActs(PA's) and those infamous cows. And let's not forget the fantastic website www.diabloii.net and the 1.09 patch and the phenomal hardcore mode that is in my opinion one of the best features of the that game. You die and your character dies forever.

Anyway, with waves of nostalgia I'd like to talk about our favorite D2 characters.

My first one is zPerfect, a level 94 barb. Cool because he was a mfer, but also a tank.

The main reason I loved this barb so much is he was using a Golden ThunderMaul known as the "Cranium Basher" that I had found pindling. I used to love mf'ing with him because he had somewhere around 800-900mf with dual Ali's...

Another cool barb I loved was my a unique build I used for running Nith in hardcore hell. He had huge bezerk and maxed leap attack. It was a one jump leap kill with a huge ethereal "Hellslayer".

Anyway- you've got a favorite/unique character from D2 you wanna share? Let's hear it.

Blegh, hated that guys lightning.
Raped me the first time I fought him.

Fanatism

My first try with hardcore, got a spear-amazon and it went well. But yeah, the updated electric dmg killed me pretty soon after entering nightmare :( chukkles.

i played a necromancer, i just ended up using the bone spear spell because it was the best and pretty much only thing that char did well

Oooh. Rak, I completely he forgot about him. There was one of his builds in hell the was downright scary. Lightning enhanced with the spell the reduces resistances. ahh... the fun.

Zatsuga

My favorite character was a "Charged Boltress" who absolutely ripped through normal/nightmare. Just wasn't viable in hell though.
I think I was down to casting at 6 or 7 fps, with fully synergized bolts. I wish I had another 40 skill points to give her a useful frozen orb, wouldn't that be a thing of beauty?

Pixel Blue

Leap attack is my favorite move in any game ever.

Jumping barbs ftw.

about me

I am currently a procrastinating Master in Computer Science student. My research focus is on AI for games but am interested in all aspect of game development and design. I competed in an international game design competition "Dare To Be Digital". More info about the game(Flux) we developed can be found at www.log2n.ca

I want games to be the next artform and feel that finally we are starting to get things right in game design(intuitive interfaces, awesome music and good plot lines). We still needs lots of work in areas like intuitive interfaces, camera AI, and challenging players in the right ways... and getting rid of pointless walking in games. WALKING IS NEVER EVER FUN for a player! I also strongly believe that we need to back off on graphics and more processing time on smarter AI NPCs. Players cannot get emotionally involved with Zombies.

Generally known to rant and love a good logical argument.
