Get your gear, magic find, trade (make tons of profit, find those awesome deals, rip off newbs) make a pvp char and woop everybody's ass ;]

Classes I recommend:
1) sorc for mfing
2) hammerdain for improved mfing
3) bowazon (pvp)
4) javazon (pve and pvp)
5) barb (PVP)
6) ele druid (PVP)
7) zealer (IMO the strongest PVP build and most expensive)

Greatest game to ever come out--kept me playing for about 6 years on and off. Restarted 3 times and all three I managed to do some crazy deals and finds. (ie: 199% eth Hoz )
Neverfound a wf though, and it was my dream.

I've played D2 on and off with friends since it first came out, and I only understand about half your post. :confused:

Play more? ;)

The only thing I forgot was what HoZ stood for.

herald of zakarum. unique pally-only shield in LoD, as i recall :)

That would be it.

Sorc=Sorceress
Mfing=Magic Finding
Hammerdin(not dain)= Blessed Hammer Paladin
Bowazon=Bow Amazon
Javazon=Javelin Amazon
barb=Barbarian
ele druid=Elemental Druid
Zealer=Zeal Paladin

PVP=Player vs Player
eth=Ethereal
Hoz=Herald of Zakarum. (Check Arreat Summit to see what item this is, best paladin shield besides rune words)
wf=Windforce

I've never found a windforce either. I wonder if they even drop anymore. It doesn't matter though; windforce sucks compared to rune word bows now. I am glad people still dupe in this game. If people did not dupe items in Diablo II the economy would take such a hit. All the prices would go up, up, and away. I have only found a few high runes in all the magic finding runs I have done. I remember a jah dropped from Lord de Seis and I was like, "LOL REALLY?" (Well over 10000 runs, I used a bot and non-botting)

Dupers are what make Diablo II fun. :)

I mean I liked d1 and d2, finished the single player... but i never had a compulsion to ever play it again. I mean, you get loot, you get different loot, you kill alot, and you teleport around. Same thing I did with Nox and Titan Quest and other diablo clones. Being addicted to D2 seems alot like being addicted to minesweeper.

This could be said about getting addicted to any game.

Simply replace verbs with other related verbs.

Your minesweeper comment was just retarded, however.
