I tried beating Diablo 2 without using ANY gear on my character. And to really push this challenge, I didn't stop after normal difficulty, but tried taking on all 3 difficulties.
This challenge was really tough and took a long time, but it was also fun to see how far it could be pushed.
It turns out that the Paladin is a really powerful character.

DIablo 2 is a great game. Played it like 2 decades ago all the time. I only played in Hardcore mode once it was introduced (if you die, you lose your character, items, everything). Had level 99's of all characters, including expansion characters. Still pick it up ever few years to play though, of course still on Hardcore mode. No way you can make it through that without gear.

@asharedo 3 месяца назад

This is a really cool video, i like how you explain your thought process throughout the adventure. :) Btw Ogre Axe max sockets is only 3. It can't get more. The Grim scythe being 5 sockets means you could make obedience though, which is even more powerful than Insight (although no mana regen..) But you need a Fal rune

@zarfen 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Yeah a few comments have pointed that out now. I didn’t know that when I made the video, still learning new things in this game! I actually saved the grim schyte in the stash for that exact reason! But unfortunately I didn’t find a single fal or hel rune, might also have missed the ko but I don’t exactly remember. If I had struggled more against the ancients an option could have been to go grind the countess for those.

It does show how D2 is balanced extremely towards skills. Items are important for melee but for casters using abilities its optional (of course it makes game easier and progress much faster but items are still only optional). I think naked cold sorc is another great example

@pitecusH 3 месяца назад

@@zarfen Don't know if you had the runes, but 5 a socket polearm (the grim scythe at 28:03) would have been a great base for obedience, which is a relatively affordable RW and packs a lot of punch for the price :) (Hel, Ko, Thul, Eth, Fal)

@zarfen 3 месяца назад

@pitecusH yeah I actually saved the polearm in the stash in case I found runes for obedience, but it wasn’t even close (no Fal, Ko or even Hel if I remember correctly) I could have gone at farmed the countess maybe for it if I had gotten stuck at ancients.
