Just thought I'd link some fun pics I took recently while going through single player in nightmare difficulty with a warrior (using the well known workaround for it that involves making an MP nightmare/hell game and then choosing 'New Game' and then starting up an SP game).
Found these screens might be of interest to anyone who still lurks around here.
I never thought it was possible, but apparently Griswold is capable of selling a non-suffixed King's Sword!
I was also quite surprised to see such a good item being sold by Griswold rather then Wirt!
My semi-current setup. Basically that's an identified Gotter that I got from nightmare/hell from one of the unique succubi on 15 (the decreased light radius makes it worthwhile, and I feel that blocking magic spells works better then having resists in classic Diablo, long as my dex is high enough). Also got two Rings of Heaven, again from mobs in Nightmare/Hell, and the Amulet of Heaven from Wirt. Rounding it out is a Stormshield that Laz himself dropped on Normal/Hell, really hit the jackpot on that sweet deal. But then I get stuck with a (surprisingly good AC) glorious plate of sorcery +18. I've since replaced it with an awesome plate of the tiger (or something like that, have to double check but the suffix gives +hp). Finally rounding things out is that incredibly awesome King's Sword of Precision that I was able to buy off of Wirt for a crapton of gold (almost all the gold I'd saved up in the game up till that point). I was left utterly broke but quite happy with my purchase. The +dex gives it an extra 10-12% ToHit, I believe.
