I'll start by expressing my purely personal opinion: mods are garbage! :mad: You should play the original version of Diablo, not all sorts of amateur junk that makes the game unrealistically easy. :mad:
I played through Diablo I once as a warrior, and it was a real pain. I doubt I'll be able to do it again. And by the way, I fought the Butcher head-on, fair and square.
But I'm still playing Diablo II. I don't play Battle.net because I don't have the money for a legitimate copy, but I enjoy playing in local co-op. My favorite character is the Paladin; I know a lot of builds for him, and I'm currently leveling two different versions of him at the same time. Loken said that they significantly buffed mages in 1.10, so I'm putting my Paladin up against any mage once I finish leveling him, because Blizzard has always had balance, so it all depends on the player's skill. I'm also willing to put my friend's Amazon, leveled with Lightning Fury, to the test. The best shield for a Paladin is, in my opinion, the Hell-grade Kite Shield with Exile. And 6-socket items drop in Hell like crazy; just equip items with Magic Find and you'll find one in 20 minutes of gameplay. The best place to farm them is from Shenk, the boss with the whip from Act 5, just before the first portal. As for the Sorceress, the Lightning Trapper is good, but the Kick Trapper is better for PvP. Venomancers in 1.10 were pure evil, but thankfully they were nerfed in 1.11. Druid-mages are also good for crowd control. In general, I like all the characters except the Barbarian.
I'm looking forward to Diablo III. I'll play it again as a shield-wielding character, whether it's a Paladin, a Warrior, or someone else. And even though there was an angel in the video, I agree with Arandor that it was more likely Tyrael than the player character.
