Well ok here we go. I've just recently made it to level 58 with my Barbarian. he is doing just fine for the moment, tanking most things with his 1k+ health. I have reached Hell difficulty and it is a bit harder then I thought it would be. But that has not stopped me.
I have run into a singel Physical Immune creature as of now, it was one of the Anceitns in Nightmare difficulty. Now I don't know if it will be much harder to take these on in the future, but I am using the Plauge Bearer - seen here http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/exc...l/uswords.shtml - and it rocked against the Physical Immune Ancient, when combined with Berserk (which I still only have one point in.)
As for my earlier statement about Whirlwind, I was wrong, this skill has saved my life many times in Nightmare and Hell difficulty. I have already maxed it out and now I am working on Battle Order. And thats about it for my Barbarian.
I have already taken that into concideration. So in response I'll tell you about my level 74 Meteor/Blizzard Sorc. For a short while I did get tired of my Barbarian, so I started testing out new classes seeing wether or not they suited my playing style. And to my surprise a Sorc did. The damage output on them is amazing. I didn't like caster classes usualy... but this was the exception.
Against most monsters in the game she is Godly, however in Hell I noticed that the single most 'Immune to' creatures in the game were fire. I had been saving up a lot of skill points, seeing as how I had only Maxed - Fireball, Meteor, and Fire Mastery - so I looked over the skills and figured which would be best. For the moment I use Blizzard, i've only put about five or so points into this and Cold mastery, which helps against the 'Immune to Fire' creatures. Later I plan to max out Cold Mastery and Frozen Orb.
I do know that some creatures are Immune to both of these types of Magic, but that does not concern me much, in Hell difficulty I find myself playing with four of my friends - A Barbarian (Level 72), Assassin (Level 69), Paladin (Level 82), and Necromancer (Level 85) - so they don't stand a chance. Together with my friends I belive I can get both my Sorc and Barbarian to level 99. But only time will tell.

Quote:Not trying to put you off, but I would suggest that you try out at least a couple builds of each available character before you decide to push one or more to lvl 99. It will help you learn which ones are viable to do so within a reasonable time, and will help you gather the equipment. Note also that the skills that are most helpful to get from lvl 85-99 are not necessarily those that get you to Hell the fastest.
