Since I'm new to the forum I'll just jump straight in...
I've been working on two main projects, since I have just started HC (and all my softy chars have been stripped and deleted... something I regret now and then) I don't have too many chars.
My first, and main project, is my assassin. Level 65, soon to go on to hell, martial arts, and she has the best gear I could possibly get right now. With her my playing style is quite simple, kill fast and hard. She is the product of two previously failed attempts (first died due to my first encounter of trigger hack, fun fun - second was lag kill at Baal's minons, both relatively low lvl, below lvl 30) and she won't have any wasted skills or stat points. Currently, in a5 nm, she's like a super-fast tank (5k+ AR :D ) and I was suprised when she killed faster than a burizazon I met during a bloody run. She's kind of cookie cutter, but being my first HC char I wanted her to live long and strong, experimentation will be soon enough.
My second main project is my good ol' necromancer. Only level 12 (technically the first HC char, but I played him 30 minutes before starting my sin), so far untweaked, unrushed, untouched by outside forces (but I'm thinking of changing this). At first I was going to make him a semi-zookeeper. I never liked having 30 revives around though, and my SC counterpart used maybe 5 revives, golem, and merc total so I decided to leave this build. Next I was thinking arty necro, they seemed like fun, but I remember making one quite a long time ago and I didn't find it as much entertaining as I thought I would. Then, I realized (other than the fact I'm rambling :P ) that I should have a purpose for him, and as many of you say, necro=great goldfinder. I have been split on making necro goldfinder or barb mf/gf (because of his Find Item skill), but I have decided finally on the necro. I just wish I kept all those 30% gold charms I found in normal... *sigh* :rolleyes: You all basically know the stategy for goldfinder necros (well, the normal build.. I could try and be different though..) - kill some cows (or hell council), then just go boom! CE/Amp...
Other than that I have very few other chars, lvl 9 druid, going to be a werewolf, another cookie cutter build (I want another strong HC char as end product that can easily take a lot of hits), and a lvl 15 classic D2 HC pallidin - which I found classic HC to be much harder and a lot more fun - the items won't make the character live or die, you as the player are responsible for that. I just hope they don't ruin the simplistic yet challenging atmosphere of classic D2 with synergies, although I look forward to synergies in the new patch, whenever it comes out.
And on a side note: Portuguese is definetly an interesting language. My brother-in-law is also from Brazil (from Jão Pessoa [the good ol' ão... I was confused when I first heard him say it.. where did the 'M' sound come from?]) From the point of view from someone who cant say anything past "Oi! Tudo bem?" it's a blast to hear him speak full speed. And I thought Spanish was hard to understand when it was spoken quickly :blink:
Just my two cents... or three... or - enough with the rambling, I think I've said enough :P
