Newbies Look Here Please
Hello, this post is geared towards the players that have just started playing DiabloII. I just want to point out that I feel the game is most enjoyable if you play your first characters without using the guides, suggested skills, or anything like that. Just play with putting your own points in whatever skills you want and dont worry about being the best character. Once you get a feel for the game you can make a better character that will survive in the higher difficulties. But I strongly recommend playing just without help at first because it really makes the game a lot more fun than rushing right in and trying to be the best.
Also, if you really like single player or can only single player, I suggest the Single Player Forum. You can get better advice geared towards single player and just general help/guides that are better for single player people than other ones oriented towards online play.
