This will sound counterintuitive, but reckless + warrior = high percentage of death. For the most part, Mages can be played with more room for error IMO.
In other games the stereotype is usually true. Warrior\Fighter, easy and powerful. Magic user usually fragile until late game. It's topsy turvy opposite in D1\Hellfire.
Even with Hellfire's sweep attack, if you're playing melee based characters you still have less room for mistake.
By the way, I highly recommend getting 'HF:Fixed', if you don't have it already. Makes playing a Warrior actually fun again, the Monk playable for real, and fixes many stupid bugs in vanilla Hellfire.
Reading your posts brings back great memories of D1-Hellfire, IMO where the -true- Barbarian lives. Shamed they neutered him in D2. His awesomeness was probably too overwhelming and jealousy inducing.
