Diablo Classic
03-30-04
This is the second character that I used to beat Diablo Classic. I defeated Diablo in Hell at level 40 in a party with Jay’s Hammerdin and Cynthia’s Bowazon. Back then, Static Field continued to damage monsters even when they had less than ½ their life left, so I spammed Static Field most of the time while Jay’s Hammers and Cyn’s Multiple Shot and Strafe did massive damage under the augmentation of Jay’s Concentration aura. Absolutely nothing could stand in the way of such a powerful party! Also back then there were no Immunities, allowing sorceresses to specialize in one attack. I chose Blizzard as my spell of choice and maxxed it. I mistakenly put points into Glacial Spike and Frozen Orb since I hadn’t completely grasped the concept of wise skill choices, and back then there were no synergies to justify those points.
Upon the release of the Expansion Pack, I discovered monster Immunities and chose to develop Fire Wall as a backup attack for Cold Immunes. I still have not overcome the Hell Ancients with this character. Jr’s necromancer provided the waypoint past the Ancients and we beat Hell Baal together after many many deaths (due in part to some serious lag from my old 56K modem). I have been awarded Matriarch status, but I don’t feel like I deserve it until I can beat those Ancients.
