So I got DiablO II

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

'Tis alright, I suppose. I burned out on D2, so I doubt I'll play it again (also, the reason why I didn't get D3). I certainly wouldn't stop others from playing it, though - whatever floats your boat.

I don't think that strategy guide will help you, though - if it's for the vanilla version it certainly wouldn't - the patches rejigged everything - the 1.10 one in particular was a large game changer (pun intended). Well, it mostly made the many builds obsolete and the rest turned more boring but practical. Last patch I heard about was 1.12, I believe but I had stopped playing at that point, they may be up to 1.14-1.15 or something nowadays. Just look up builds/guides online, I remember using the ones on GameFAQs quite a lot. Or I dunno, if the Blizzard forums are inhabited and aren't a hellhole, you might try them, alternatively other specialised forums.

Yeah, unfortunately you can't summon 20 skeletons anymore that was what made the necro so f'ing awesome. my army vs your army Diablo. What you got *****?

generic EA/Blizzard template

I always think it's funny that EA hatred seeps into topics that have nothing to do with EA.

OT: Never played either of the first two Diablo games, and I doubt I'd be able to after playing Diablo III and Torchlight II, I think they'd just be too dated for me at this point.

D1 is great but something more(kinda like Sacred it was crazy) D2 is a tiny bit hollow and D3 wants to be Guild wars but can't get out of the shallow end of the short bus.....

A tip for you OP. Don't get confused by the 5s and 6s. They look almost the same with the way the font works.

yes i have made that mistake a few times but I'm good. love your avatar man it's awesome.

Is there any website like Steam or Gog that lets you buy Diablo 1 and 2?

You can buy the battlechest off battle.net, it has Diablo 1 and 2 plus the expansion pack for 2 for 20$.

Diablo II is a lot more flexible than D3, but D3 is great for pick-up-and-play moments with close friends. The grind seems more important in the third than in the second, and the third cuts back on a lot of the second game's neat features. I was more than a little pissed when I realized the Witch Doctor wouldn't allow me to replicate the Necromancer's General build.

Just walking behind my Golem and a few Skeletal Mages in Nightmare, hoovering up items as I pass by? Good times, man. Good times.

I have a D3 Monk who's somewhere between Level 53 and 55, I just don't remember, and I haven't touched him since June. I think I'm burnt out for the time being.

Does it work on Win7? I have considered getting it.

Yes but you need to mess with the visual settings so it looks acceptable (otherwise pixel rainbows everywhere).

Also you can't use widescreen with the most recent patch because apparently it's considered "hacking" and borks up. I'm fine with 4:3, though I rarely play it anymore. I'm happy with the Torchlights, Titan Quest is still awesome, and when Grim Dawn finally comes out everything before will stand obsolete. I'm hoping.
