Which Diablo 2 character do you like best? that's including the expansion. Mine was the barbarian until I started my first necromancer then druid. I liked the Barbarian because i love melee characters and that is usually the first class i use when ever i start to play a new game. Necromancer was awsome because of my army of skeletons i had at my side and my Blood Golem I had and was working on building to be maxed out. I liked the druid because of his trasformation skills and his pet bear he gets. My friend had a bear that could kill a lvl 40 barbarian by itself. that was awsome.

I think it comes down to combinations since the true beauty of Diablo 2 is the multiplayer. For example, if you play as a paladin you have an aura which can affect your friend the necromancer's skeletal army. I like to plan characters together with a friend like this so that I know they will compliment each other. It is necessary for the harder difficulties when you really need to work together to get anywhere.

I find that that happens to me as well but it adds an extra level of competition to the game: who can grab the loot faster. Solo play is fine in the earlier difficulties but once you get to hell difficulty, it seems like everything is immune to something. What do you do if you are playing as a barbarian and you come up against a monster that is immune to physical?

i always liked ability the barbarian gets later on called run away screaming like a little girl. that helps later in the hell setting. yeah. i never played the hell version so i dont know how i would have dealt with something like that. but of course i have a sidekick with me like a rouge from the start or one of the mage fighters from Kurast.

I've always loved paladins. I have two paladins, one's level 89 and the other 87, non-ladder unfortunately.

sorry this is late, but i haven't been able to play a paladin for very long but i did like how i made each one. and by each one i mean i would have to keep reinstalling the game because of hard drive crashing or new comps.

i dont really like the pally since it is just a group character and sucks as a solo character. i like going out by myself so i want some one that can take a hit. now think about this before you say anything. i've killed a maxed out pally with my barbarrian before and he was atleast 5 to 10 lvls higher than me. it wasnt even a competition and we both had the expansion so its not like i had an advantage other than racial and class advantages. like i said in the above comment it all depends on your fighting style and what monsters you are fighting, to me the paladine is comepletely useless against the 3 prime evils except for one i saw that took on baal and diablo by himself. and beat em with like 6 others on the map with him at the same time. anyone thats played the online version knows that the more people that join a world the harder the monsters get so thats impressive.

Druid is also my favourite character.I like the controlling nature power he owned .When I take him walk around to kill the beasts,I always feel exciting.Druid makes me like a commander.It very good.

in order from greatest to least for me they go Sorc Barb Assassin Druid Necro Pally and amazon.... that was how i liked my characters. the sorc had cold spells whish were really effective during the cow levels the barb could pretty much mow down any resistance, the assassin was sneaky and quite good in melee, druid and necro wer tied in summoning but the transformations pwned in melee and the poison and bone rocked from a distance. The paladin was OK but it was more often than not a team player with very few attacks to sustain itself (other than the often whored zeal and hammer) and the amazon was not kool at all to me. she was also a semi-team player and was VERY hard to play with in single player.
