First Character, first PAT!!!!! (LONG)
Well, my first character, a Conan the Barbarian (yes, I have no imagination at all!!!) made Barb. After finding D2 last august, I almost quit playing until I found SPF and then ATMA. I was in late NM and doing very poorly. I had very poor skill pt distribution, no clue as to what to do, etc. Well this place renewed my interest. My build is TOTALLY dependant on gear, most of which I got in giveaway contests, trades, and giveaways here. Thanks you all ery much :thumbsup:
Nikstone especially helped a lot, and he actually said he doubted if I would Pat him with what I had been doing. Here is the build, with gear:

Terrible build, and totally gear dependant. As I started playing, I basically put points in here and there thinking I should be able to do most every skill. In the end Iwould do BO then switch to War Cry when I got monsters nearby. I would Weapon Switch to use the weaken if I saw a crowd gathering. I did lots of running away when I saw several monsters so I could take on a few at a time.
Hell Ancient took about 5 deaths, Baal none. Merc had to be resurrected several times throughout though.
I want to thank all those who have had giveaways, contests for gear, and given advice, as I know I never would have Pat'd him without all the help. Now that I have done that, I need to see if I will keep feeding the D2 addiction and make more builds, or go on to something else. For now, its time for many drinks at the EMB, and I am buying! :buddies: :drink:
