some things I've tried or plan on trying:
-melee assassins: those single element skills are actually usefull. I'm building a 'blades of ice' assassin right now and I'm having great fun.
-maul werebear: just make a big fat tank with a slow melee attack. It's perfect for standing in front of monsters while some sorcs throw around meteors. Not a cookie-cutter, but with godd equipment can be quite strong....
-Golemlord (or whatever you want to name him): just waste those skillpoints in a very fat golem! and get some curses (1 point in all is fine) He can solo hell if you are VERY patient.
-freezing arrow or immolition arrow amazon: not very original, but if you never tried one before it can be fun.
-frog barbarian: kind of a singer who leaps around all the time, or you could get a strong leap attack, or whatever; leaping is FUN!
-sacrificial pala: not really a fullblown build but if you twink him with stuff like angelic set, twitchthroe, civerbs cudgel etc. you can try to defeat the ancients before you're level 20. It can be done! (I did it in 1.09 hardcore)

I'm sure there are many more fun/wacky characters out there, just try what you feel like, if it doesn't work out, no harm done, there's only a few hours of your life wasted, but if you're playing diablo2 they would be wasted anyway ;-)

fire sorcy

or what about an inferno sorc... using a certain 2-handed sword and some decent +skills items you can get her inferno over lvl 50 with no problems... plus maybe frozen orb as a secondary around lvl 25-28ish ... (fire synergies and masteries would be around 30... maybe 32 at max... I have no idea tho how much dmg a lvl 50+ inferno would do

for some reason, inferno and artic blast do 1/3 of the damge said so that rules out the inferno sorc

Only one idea comes to mind. Put on your sunglasses, walk out your front door, and enjoy the sunshine.

interesting build

If you like necros there is a summoner variant that i find a blast to play.

If you played the original diablo there was a quest boss King Leoric.

So you make a summoning necro and use a two handed sword to fight along side your troops. Mo mages, no revives, rest of your points go into bone armour and synergies and a few into curses. And if you want to take advantage of a certain bonus granted by a certain pair of boots, you'll have points to spare. Completely viable build. I soloed hell with him without much difficulty at all.

Best part of this build is if you use a passion runeword you can ever sound like the original Leoric when you zeal. My weapon of choice is a Passion Champion sword. A bit steep with requirments but doable.

It's a little old school but a total riot none the less.
