What is playable untwinked in 1.10? - Munkay - 07-13-2004
I have a level 61 hammerdin that was made over a two day period. If you go purely for blessed hammer, the results are ridiculously powerful untwinked. I just finished maxing Concentration, Blessed Hammer, and Vigor, and my hammres do 2.8k damage, and I still have blessed aim to start boosting.
For those who are unaware, Blessed aim gives 14% damage increase to Blessed Hammer per skill point. Vigor also gives 14% for every skill point.
This combined with the already decent damage of Hammer+Conc = on massively powerfuly untwinked char.
The only issues I've run into is health. Hell mode is really not a good place for any melee or quasi melee character without good equipment. I find this to hold me back much more than damage, which is still going very strong.

This is still a good thread and deserves to stay current. My only real piece of advice is select a character class you enjoy playing if you are going to be using it for hours upon hours getting to high levels in Hell difficulty.

Whoa, Holy Thread Necromancy Batman!
I find it funny that I posted advice about a Hammerdin, since over 2 years after that post I started playing Diablo II again in Single Player for a few months. My first character? A Hammerdin :P
But after a physical hard drive failure (awakening to one horrible grinding sound), the characters were lost and with it my want to continue playing.
Cheers,

No twink Javazon
Max Charged Strike
Max Lgt Fury
Max Poison Jav
Max Plague
No valk. One point in Decoy for tactical usage.
Any + skills you can get is nice bonus. Easy places to find it?
Sigon's Shield, if you fid it.
Gambling for + zon circlets
Gambling for + zon amulets
You will find Zon javs, save your imbues for Ceremonial or Matriarchical Zon javs.
Easy to gamble + 1 Jav skills gloves.
If you find a two socket hat/circlet, save an ort. When you find a Sol, which usually drop for you by the end of NM, you have +1 skills.
All said and done, easy to get to 24 skills just by stumbling over it.
We can get into an esoteric discussion about when and why to put points into Pierce, but higher pierce makes for a more lethal Lightning Fury for thinning out mobs, Charged Strike owns large bosses.
I have killed Hell Diablo in less than a minute with CHG strike, going face to face.
Merc Choice?
That varies. I'd recommend an Act II Might or Holy Freeze merc, though I tend to go for Defiance mercs just because. *shrugs* Personal Taste. The key to killing Hell Ancients is a high mana pool, and either an insight merc or a Merc with high life steal. The Plague Jav fully synergized really helps, as do boots of run walk speed to stay out of their way.
YMMV

Hi,
yupp, I have one of those. Except that she doesn't use CS for Bosses. But then again - she was build for one thing back then - c.o.w.s. :whistling:
Oh, and I think CoonerTheRed's DisposaSorc fits the description nicely.
Greetings, Fragbait

I had pretty good luck with a rabies/poison build. Get you a defensive merc from Act 2 for frost effects in nightmare and you're in. Sure any class will benefit from twinking, however I'm running pretty nicely with my druid. (Even though it isn't a bnet character, its one I play at home on tcp/ip with my 3 roommates)
