Ladder reset builds, Need input!
So here I am, anxiously awaiting the ladder reset... since mid summer. Bah, I was told that resets should definitely be in late summer... then early august... then september "for sure".
I know people often make up sources, so I finally stopped waiting and started playing again. But Im already bored... so here I am doing one of my favorite things to do in Diablo 2, try and figure out my next build! :thumbsup:
I'm just a bit stuck. I havent personally tried any of these builds, so Im hoping to find some people who have.
Things I want from a build:
Something that doesnt have the smell of cheese. Doesnt have to be difficult (and it probably shouldnt. Im not your micro-frenzied player).
I like semi-fresh builds (given a game this old, hardly anything is "fresh")
and finally, I want something that can take me to and through hell without the utter dependance on others. No, I dont play solo, but I like the option to be there. Also, I intend to play HC.
The builds I have considered are:
1) Leaper Baba. I dunno, that full screen pushback sounds very very fun. Being able to focus targets like that has to be nice.
My questions: Does it work on Baal's minions? does it work for any of his minions? Does it work on champions or mini bosses? Is it very gear dependant?
2) Poison Jabber. Another interesting build =)
I know poison has a very slow cooldown, so I decided to compliment it with jab. I know most people use psn and LF, but honestly, with a skll as effective as LF, I'd just use that, but I dont want that. I have NEVER made a melee zon. I really dunno if it'd work (jab).
3) Lightning Jabber. Same as before, but I go for the melee only and use Power, charged, and Lightning strikes, along with jab or possibly fend. I am *contemplating* using a 2her, but since its HC, I may have to take that back. Besides, teh faster the better, I suppose.
4) Kicker assasin. Ive never made one of these and I always have wanted to. Seem interesting.
5) Holy Fire paladin. Holy Shock is kinda overdone, and I like doing CS runs, so the fire res will always help with big D. A few questions:
Is the fire damage only realized through normal attacks? Or can it carry over to zeal or vengeance? If it does, and if I were to use zeal, would IM still knock me out?
Thats about it. I appreciate ANY input at all. Truly.
Thanks = D
