what's the variant forum

[LennyLen]

is there an active forum for variant players? what's the most active one?

The RBD forums were traditionally where most people discussed variants.

While it's not the most active Diablo forum still around (I only count 7 threads there since the start of the year), it's probably still worth visiting if you have any variant-specific queries, since there are still active members there who have a vast ammount of knowledge of the topic.

Of the three Diablo forums I frequently visit, GameFaqs is the most active, but there are few experienced players there, and most threads are started by people who are new to the game asking simple questions. This forum is obviously still active, and has a lot of experienced players who still post, as does the DSFC.

anyone ever play a staff only sorcerer?

If you mean a NM who uses a staff, then no. If you mean a sorc who will not use other weapons (eg. CC), then yes.

anyone even play variants anymore?

I still play my NSS Rogues a bit. (Though, technically it's a playing style, and not a variant).

anyone even play diablo any more?

I don't read posts. Ever.
