Looking for Classic Diablo II Multiplayer Tips and Builds

[Camila]

Hey everyone,

I recently got back into Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, and I’m looking to relive some of the old-school multiplayer experience. I used to play years ago but was mostly a solo player, so I never really optimized my builds for party play. Now, I’d love to dive into multiplayer and make a character that can really contribute to a group.

I have a few questions for those of you who are more experienced in multiplayer setups:

1. What are some of the best character builds for team synergy? I know Paladins with auras can be great, and Sorceresses are always strong, but are there any lesser-known builds that shine in multiplayer?
   
2. What are some good strategies for coordinating in Baal runs or other group farming sessions? I don’t want to be the guy slowing everyone down!
   
3. Are there any essential pieces of gear that make a big difference in multiplayer versus solo play?
   
4. Any recommendations for fun, unconventional builds? I love trying out creative setups that might not be super meta but are still effective in a party.
   

Also, if anyone here is still actively playing on Battle.net or private servers, I’d be interested in hearing about good places to find groups!

Looking forward to hearing from the community—always loved the knowledge and nostalgia here. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, are you playing D2 Resurrected or classic?

In complete honesty, I would never play Diablo 2 again in its current state. If you really have that arpg itch, play Diablo 2 Median XL. Such an amazing mod, what D2 should have been all along! They have thousands of players on ladder reset, and hundreds between resets: https://www.median-xl.com/
