It's good to know what will be required in order to tackle hell, and thanks to everyones comments atleast I know what will be in store for me. Like I've said in my other post, I do not doubt your information, only that you say the game will get "boring". Fortunately whether or not the game gets boring is a matter of opinion.

I think you misunderstood me. This is not "what's required". This is "what might give you a chance in hell".
I suppose if you go s/s and Concentrate all the way, you might get somewhere, sometime this year. I find that painfully tedious and boring, because frankly, how shall I put this..... it *is*. If you like that sort of action, then you're in luck.
BTW, if you like going s/s, try a Zealot. He is the only other type of character in D2 that I've had decent experience with (I had 2 low 90's Zealots), and he is viable in Hell, even pure. Not strong, but viable.
I have played 4 character classes through Hell in D2. I have no experience with Assasins, Druids or Necros. Out of all of them, a pure Barb is by far the weakest of the group. When 1.11 rolled out, the character that I saw the least of by far was a Barb. Later on, as some people got decent Barb items, some Barbs were seen here and there. See, most on Bnet just want to crush things. The fact that the Barb is one of the least common characters, should tell you something. You could say that these are just kids playing who want god mode. In some cases, you'd be right. However, there are some very skilled people out there, whatever their age is. If a Barb was weak but viable pure, it'd be fine. Anyway, you'll find out for yourself.
In any case, if you don't have high expectations, you won't be dissapointed.
