THe ongoing debate, one skill tree sorc

[Munkay]

I find it VERY frustrating to have a character that can only kill in party. A one-tree sorc is such a character.

I dont think this topic has any particular answer, except whatever suits everyones differing play styles.

I agree that a one skill sorc can only quest in a party. My best friend and I still frequently play diablo II together. We switch off characters and trade around to make a new 'uber' character frequently. About a year ago we decided to make an all fire sorc, after I had found a magic orb with +3 to fire skills, +2 to hydra, +2 to meteor (!!!). Long story short, after some relatively easy trading, we boosted her hydra/meteor to level 45, the rest of the skills to 43.

Finding some one to quest with I've found to be very easy, my sorc provides massive power, where any melee character, or tri sorc, gets to sop up the remanants and the immunes. I've never been a big MF'r, but I love to level. I end up leveling solo frequently, and truthfully have not found the one skilled sorc to ever be much of a problem. The speed in which she kills with is amazing, and any immunes I can teleport away from, and find another pack of monsters ready to be killed. There are immunes in most areas, though after a while you become adept to knowing the areas where they are less likely to appear.

Since then I've made a whole slew of 'one tab only' characters other than sorc's. I've found the same pleasant ending. I think its whatever suits your gamestyle. But for me they work, and I encourage exploring them.

I should note that depending on your definition, she may not count as a single tab sorc. She did have 1 point in static field and also 1 point in teleport.
