Special Skill: Repair Item
-
The warrior is best in the early and
middle levels of the game and against tough solitary monsters. He can hack
up monsters like butter close in but later in the hell levels he can take
quite a beating from all of the long range monsters. The best way to play
a warrior is to take advantage of his skills with weapons and strength
by wearing heavy armor and weilding a nice sword and shield. Axes do more
damage generally but shields are incredibly helpful. Also don't worry to
much about his lack of magic the only spell that you really should think
about learning are stone curse, other spells can be helpful but you'll
probably be better off at least at first concentrating on physical attacks.
Item characteristics that help are fast attack and hit recovery which help
you to eliminate a large group quickly. Items to covet for the supreme
warrior include: King's Sword of Haste, The Grandfather, Stormshield, Messerschmidt's
Reaver, and Godly Plate of the Whale.
The Rogue
-
Attribute Maximums: Strength-55, Magic-70,
Dexterity-250, Vitality-80
-
Attacks fastest with the bow.
-
Casts spells quicker than the Warrior.
-
Gains 1 point of health every level plus
1 for every point of vitality.
-
Gains 1 point of mana every level plus
1 for every point of magic.
-
Special Skill: Detect/Remove Traps
-
The Rogue is very skilled with the bow.
You should probably never use anything other than a bow with a rogue. Fighting
with a bow entails knowing when to use the shift key. While holding the
shift key your rogue will remain stationary even if you accidentally click
on the ground instead of on the monster. When attacking a large group,
after taking a couple of shots hold the shift key when firing at your target.
That way when it dies you won't be moving towards your targets. However,
holding the shift key does decrease your accuracy a little. Although a
rogue can't wear as heavy armor as the warrior she is a lot better off
than the sorceror and you shouldnt have a problem finding a decent suit
of armor to wear. The rogue is also better at magic than the warrior so
it would probably be worth it to pick up some spells. Especially spells
that damage at close range since you already have a long range attack.
The only problem with a rogue is she can't take near as much of a beating
at close range as the warrior. If you get mobbed you should try to retreat
around a corner and let loose with your bow from a distance. Coveted items
for the ultimate rogue include: Eaglehorn, Windforce, and Godly Plate of
the Whale.
The Sorceror
-
Attribute Maximums: Strength-45, Magic-250,
Dexterity-85, Vitality-80
-
Attacks fastest with the shield.
-
Gains double bonuses for items that increase
magic.
-
Gains 2 points of mana for every level
and 2 points for every point of magic.
-
Gains 1 health point for every point
of Vitality.
-
For every level of Mana Shield the sorceror
takes less damage when hit.
-
Special Skill: Recharge staves
-
The sorceror is the hardest class to
start out with. Early on in the dungeon you have a tough time because your
spells aren't high enough to kill things in 1 shot and you don't have much
health. Acquire mana shield as soon as possible! If you can't find a book
for your multiplayer character I usually keep at least 1 extra on my sorceror
character and will give you 1 if you are a legit newbie. Also your insanely
low strength limits your choice of weapons and armor. A big weapon is not
neccessary though because you will be attacking with spells most of the
time. Look for a weapon with some magic enhancing characteristic. Also
rings and amulets that increase strength will allow you to wear decent
armor. Late in the game none of the other classes can touch the sorceror
in blasting their way through hell. Once you have a decent level of fireball
and chain lightning the only thing that should concern you is buying mana
potions. Coveted items for the master sorceror include: Dreamflange, Naj's
Light Plate, Thinking Cap, and Archangel's Staff of Wizardry.

A
Guide to SHrines
Shrines are an interesting part
of Diablo. They create strange effects upon your character and sometimes
others when activated. The shrines in the first few levels will be labeled
so you can check this guide for their effects before activating them. However
later the goat shrines and cauldrons are not labeled so you can only tell
what they did after activation by the cryptic clue given. I never touch
goat shrines or cauldrons because of the adverse effects they might have.

My CHaracters
In this section you will find
information about my characters that I use on battle.net. All these characters
are 100% legit and I am not a PK so if you see me on bnet you can safely
play with me if you are also a non-PK legit character. If you are perceptive
and an avid reader of fantasy literature you probably noticed that all
of my characters have names taken from the Prydain Chronicles. This is
one of the best fantasy series ever written and I don't think it ever got
the recognition it deserved. If you haven't read them go look for The Book
of Three by Lloyd Alexander. And yes, I know that Eilonwy wasn't much of
a rogue but she is the only chick in the books other than Achren and the
witches. Also the JWW is my initials.

Legit
Guilds
In this section you will find
a link to what is in my opinion the only legit guild you will ever need
know about. I am a member of this guild and so I have not been playing
my main characters much lately. This is a great guild and I highly recommend
it.
