second look at armageddon and hurricane

[Lokmar Iskaran]

I downloaded the character pack from diabloii.net and experiemented with maxing all kinds of synergies. Let's just say that both the wind (cold) and earth (fire) druids have to dedicate all of their points to maximizing elemental trees, so don't expect any pets. That said, you can romp through NM with only moderate fear, but you will not fare too well in hell. Of course, I haven't tried any item maximization for a godly-bedecked character yet.

Normal is easy, with some challenges towards the end. Nightmare seems to be quite challenging... but Hell seems suicidal without some serious gear and playstyle maximization.
