Does anyone know if there i a way i can get my battle.net diablo 2 characters so i can use them to lan with?. I found where they there files are put and copied them into the single player characters file but it did nothing :(

Post 2

Dont think you can if its a proper battlenet character

Post 3

use a trainer to get all your stats, equip and paste it on to a new char in single player mode of the same class.

Post 4

Then make a four socket crown and put four perfect skulls in it :P
oooow all that mana :D

Post 5

cheat :P

those rune word things were bloody powerful ;)

specially the 6 socket weapons :P

Post 6

mmmm barbarian wielding 2 6 socketed phaseblades with silence in them. and 20+sword mastery :P with 20+ frenzy. sounds like a character worth aiming for :P

Post 7

paladins are good 2 :)

zeal with that thingy that makes ure attack ratting higher, your attack speed higher AND your attack damage higher (forgot what its called :\)

at any rate my dood had that skill + zeal play a hand axe (hell level beserker i think) with fast attack on the gloves and the weapon ..

druel :P

Post 8

its moments like these that you need the Diablo 2 hardcore players
-BrAiN_DaNcE
-CoCo

to walk in and tell us all the really cheezzee combos :P

Post 9

hmm how often is d2 played at lans in darwin if so is the expansion played or just d2?. May have to start leveling up some other multiplayer characters instead of just battle.net ones :)

Post 10

what little time i have tried to play i have found it to me a bit laggy :|

about as bad as it was on the net for some reason :\

EDIT what the hell is wrong with the time.. its 8:49 NOT 23:15 :|

Post 11

I always liked the Protector shield for the paladin, with 3 perfect diamond in it :)

I took on Diablo and didnt get damaged cos i had complete imunity from elemental attacks :D :twisted:

Post 12

bastard

i think hats kinda funny actually. the first time i took on diablo in normal he killed me countless times, then when i took him on in nightmare he didnt kill me once.

btw i love my barb :D

Post 13

Muhahahahaha...

Killer - if they are closed battlenet chars.. they are stored on the blizzard servers, the files you have are just authentication files, there is no way to use them. Btw if we do play at a lan.. ( which i would like to ) it is 1.09D patch, diablo2 exp. I also only play hardcore chars now so... I have a lev 60 odd softcore pally, but i dont play him much..

Flam - Fanatacism is the name of the aura, one of the best ones, only problem is it only has a 7.5 yard radius which kinda nuters it for multi-player. The other auras that are on par with it are: Holy freeze (aka holy cheeze) conviction, and belive it or not Holy shock. Zeal is WAAAAAAY over rated, the most you should ever EVER put in it is 4 points, The only thing that increases after the 4th point is attack rating... woopdedoo... a much much much better place to put points is in either vengeance or holy shield (or both :P ), vengeance increases attack rating and damage, not to mention it is mostly elemental damage so therefore takes out thos pesky imune to phys baddies. Pallys should never have more then 1 point in 1 aura, the only execption is vigor, if you have run out of places to spend poins (primary aura at 20, zeal at 4, vengeance 20, HS, 20) feel free to start putting points in either fist or vigor.

Well there is a basic pally guide.... urmm if anyone wants any other tips on diablo2 please just post in this topic and wait for the repl

Post 14

I play as the Sorceress with a hardcore poleaxe (Odysseys Brutal Ploeaxe of Swiftness) :twisted:

Post 15

u gotta admit that the crapest charactors are necromacers but yeah i use a barb on battle net he is lvl 86 :lol: anyone know where i can get some hacks/trainers so i dont have to train a barb on hardcore to lvl 50 for the lans or what me cant be stuffed training befor evo as me is fixing my new comp

Post 16

Quote from Skinny:

If you're willing to put time into them, necros are just as strong as any of the other characters.

Post 17

Heh... necros sucking... HAHAH AHAH HA HAHAHAH AHA
AHA
HA
HAH
AH
AHHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGHAHHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry... i havent laughed like that for a long time... can someone who has seen my pride and joy please explain how the necros are just under-rated :P

look it is very very very easy to get a level 50 char... 3 days easy...

two very very simple words
Players 8
during a game... press enter type in players 8... then leave town, it will make the monsters as hard as if there were 8 people in the game therefore they have 8 times the health 4 times the armour and do 4 times the damage... however they also give 8 times the xp.. meaning you have a lev 5 before you leave the den of evil.. level 18 before you finish act one, get to baal kill him... go back kill him again.. bout 10-12 times. bang level 50

Post 18

brain do u use a necromacer?

Post 19

a level 73 hardcore necro...

never backed up... never died....

Post 20

Necros are quite good, I've never found them to be weak.

Come to think about it, I've never played any class that I considered "weak", they're all pretty well balanced.

Post 21

yeah i suppose they all have good things but yeah i dont like necros much becuase it isn't good until u have it at lvl 60 or somthing i like barbs becuase they can be good at lvl 40. but yeah if i was bored i will work on a charactor to play at lan what are the rules there?

Post 22

cept for druids. for the most part druids are crap, however if set up right they can give a barbarian a run for his money damage wise :shock: only seen it happen once tho. every other druid i have seen is ultimatley crap.

Post 23

Ladies please. save it for the flame wars.

Post 28

druids suck i have neva really played with one for a long time but they suck there so weak and have crap speicle thigns

Post 29

havce you seen and Übered up were-wolf druid using the imortal kings stone crusher. i tell you is scared me, he did a little over double the damage that my barbarian does (which is approx 800-1200 using concertration(sp?)). now think about that for a minute and then you'll realise why i was scared.

Post 30

Excuse me? What crack are you smoking? Druids OWN. Ever seen a fully buffed up werewolf with high level Oak Sage, Feral Rage, and Fury?

You pound the hell out of everything with high attack speed, huge damage, stupid numbers of hitpoints, oh, and the 40% or MORE life stealing per hit? You're nearly invulnerable while you beat the snot out of everything in sight.

Druids rock. My Druid beats the hell out of stuff my 50 Barb has trouble with. Only thing the Druid has difficulty with is physical immunes and stuff with heaps of elemental attacks.

Darkwolf.

Post 31

Druids weakest points are its elemental page...

thats it... most of their other skill are very good.

btw if you wanna play at a lan with me... you wil have to make a hardcore char..

my big hardcores are:
lev 73 necro using curses/summons
lev 67 barb using spears/whirlwind/war cry
I think i have another but i havent played for a while.. :P

remember hardcore only.. no wussy sofcores :P

will be willing for a a game at dga 18 for people who are gonna be there

Post 32

yeah i wouldn't mind playing but i wanna use a non hardcore becuase i hate dieing and lossing it all it pisses me of when i spend like ages on it and evryting so if anyone els is going to play non hardcore i'll play them

Post 33

have you ever gotten a hardcore to over 50?

have you ever had a hardcore to the end of nightmare difficulty...

becuase at dga 18 i would like to get a diablo game from the start of act 4 in hell difficulty thru to the end of act 5... hardcore..

if there is anyone willing to join me on this.... foolish... quest, please start posting and telling me you chars :P

Post 34

yeha i am in
what are the min requirements my character muct have to play?

becuase at dga 18 i would like to get a diablo game from the start of act 4 in hell difficulty thru to the end of act 5... hardcore..

having read this, I'd say he's looking for a hardcore character, who has completed nightmare, and completed act 3 in Hell. More than that would seemingly be up to your imagination :P

Post 36

craig dont worry about becoming hardcore just play with me and timmy becuase u die like evry time we play and were only up to andy so yeah u couldn't handle hardcore.

Post 37

no i am goign to play at dga 18 with others
i am a noob and getting there give me a week to learn
than ill be l33t

Post 38

I remember taking on Diablo alone with my lvl 28 barbarian :D God damn I sucked. Died like 20 times and used 20 grand in health potions and teleportation scrolls and took me two hours :D

Post 39

And to think, I acheived it my first time without deaths in a matter of minutes.

Blizzard r0x0rZ, almost made hell freeze over 8)

Post 40

lol before the patch that stopped it Odyssey loved locking locy's old computer by casting multiple blizzards while locy was running through the area :lol:

Post 41

Yeah they did nuter sorcs in a big way in 1.07...

casting delays on all big spells... BUT they did change lightning mastery to be useful :P

but hydra was far more fun in they days of maximum spammage.... :P

i remember the first time i took on diablo... go to level 30 on the last monster before him put my saved points into hydra, fire mastery and frozen orb.... then proceeded to fill the area with hydras... :P

you could have soooooooo many before 1.07

Post 42

tonight i am goign to beat diablo and become hardcore
me and skinny and timmy are all playing on lan tonight
i think thursday + night we night be able to have a few more round if yas are quiet
maybe zeneth and aravi and brain ill have to see

Post 43

well....i reinstalled diablo II just two days ago, been playing it a it, just upto end of act II now as paladin, level 20. this damned duriel thingo keeps killing me :(

Post 44

lvl 20?? you obviously havn't been playin on players 8

Post 45

oi brain how do u do that player 8 thing?

Post 46

Players 8....?

That for online? Cos i'm playing single Diablo II 1.0 :D

Post 47

same i play single unless timmy comes over but we all use 1.09

Post 48

when your in game, press enter then type "players 8" (i think it is) and it increases the strength of the monsters to what it would be in an 8 player game. This means you should get more experience from killing them too :)

Post 49

There is no becoming hardcore...

you have to tick the box when you start your char....

so its back to the drawing board for you...

Post 50

Gotta beat Diablo first to go hardcore though :)

Post 51

well actually you have to have finished the game...

so if you have the expansion you need to kill baal...

and as if you wouldnt play without the expansion... :P

Post 52

Sorry yes for you and some of the others you need to beat Baal but Cow only needs to beat Diablo cos he obviously doesnt have the expansion :)

Post 53

heh cows...

anyone wanna try the cow levels with me :P

Post 54

hehe cow level is awesome with a barbarian using whirlwind :)

Run from them, make them follow till their lined up, then turn and slaughter them :)

Post 55

better with my necro :P

kill a few... watch them get back up and fight the rest of them... the explode the corpses once there is a few of them :P

Hehe, I love it with an Assassin. Run in, Phoenix Strike to 3 charges, then Dragon Tail. All the other cows freeze, so make easy prey for another Phoenix Strike/Dragon Tail job.

Post 72

Players 8 you have to be in a multiplayer game.

Just host a tcpip game and then hit enter

Type players 8

Monsters are now tougher but the Xp is better.

You can go higher eg players 256 but it doesnt give you much more exp.
Players 32 does tho for higher level chars...

Get a program called d2load, lets you load up multiple copies at the same time and you can connect to yourself.

Currently my level 65 Hardcore Paladin sits in a corner while my levl 60 amazon does the quests and they both get the Xp and quest rewards :)
I used to run 6 copies and have 5 chars leeching while da big barb hammers everything.

Been doing equ runs the last few weeks with my lightning sorc.

Go 6 chars/mules now full of unique and set goodies for you guys at next DGA :)

Should have 10 chars full by early Jan, takes 15 mins to kill meph,diabs, travincial and bhaal in one run. Teleport, static field and nova :)

Love this game :)

Post 73

Uhm, players 8 works in single player games. It is for me right now anyway.

Post 74

Yeah ditto :)

Post 75

Wrong.
best char for pks is either sorc or amazon..

sorc is like coco said... static field teleport and nova... no escape if you are quick on your f-keys

amazon... guided arrow... pierce... NO ESCAPE... the only thing that could hold up against this is a pally with 75 percent blocking... and even then... good luck...

a barbs leap attack can be dodged very very esaily... fire a single arrow and it floats under the barb till he this the ground then BAM!!! no more barb..

Post 76

Works in single??

Wierd, must be too used to running around with multiple chars then :)

My Bad ! :)

i agree zons and sorces are great for duals as i learned on b-net but whne i go killing monsters i like barbs becuase u have the health and strenght to kill the with hand to hand combat this the other 2 u stay back and kill and then people leech befor u can get in so i use babrs alot

Post 78

I find the Sorceress can pick off a heap of enemies, but one on one against one hardcore caracter she is pretty weak. The Barbarian is the opposite, he kicks butt, but gets raped by heaps of little head jobs (Fetish Act III) :arrow:

AHHHHH SORC kicks ass for dueling - the fact is becuase you cannot catch them :D

Like coco said :D You put your shields up, put on thunderstorm (that hurts) teleport all over the place, wait for the right time and get closish (depending on enemy) cast static Field get em half way or something on their hp bar, then tele right next to em and nova the crap outta them. Just make sure your using "shaftstop" :D Cos if your dueling a barb - your going to recieve one beautiful blow :lol:
The only real way to stop a sorc is to max out your Lightning resistance.

Amazon is pretty much King of PKing, guided arrow and a ton of 20 hp SC, if you can get 40/15 jewels then your laughing. Obviously Windforce or Eaglehorn is the bow to go - gl finding a WF though (not impossible). A pair of Clegs is a nice way to piss of the opponent :lol:

Any other charc is well... useless... 8)

but i am almost finished act 3 now
and i am at lev 21 w00t and i am lev 18 thornes
i own

knight. am king and happy that he got his mom a present

Post 83

heh just got the expansion. Now my 800 rare ornate plate on my sorceress is crap. There was a magic ornate plate of 833 in the shop in act 5 :(. And sorceresses could kick a barb any day in a duel. Max lightning mastery and max thuder storm :). Plus teleport if htey get to close and frozen orb.

Post 84

Ohh and also could someone tell mne how many sockets the barb gives u for completeing the first quest? and if you can do it twice on the same item.

Post 85

i dont bloody run at all except when i ran from act 3 town till the sewers it took me a while lucky i had leap on so i could jump all the rivers :lol:

but yeah my players 8 dont work on single player only on multie players i think it might be because of difrent versions or somthing oh and does anyone know any rune words at all?

Post 86

the add socket quest eh :P

you can do it on any item which dont have socekts in it already including uniqe set and rare..

on a magical item it will add 2-3 sockets
rare/unique/set it will add one

on any non-magical gear it will add the full number of sockets or the full number of sockets minus 1 (if you are unlucky)

the main uses for this quest are:
making rune words
making ethereal stuff unbreakable (good luck finding a zod rune, other idea is a jewel with repairs durability)
adding something very necessary (aka life-steal) to a unique item to make it much more worthwile. One of the best examples is the Pul rune :)
after act 4 just about everything you face is a demon.. pul rune is 75% more damage to demons on a weapon... mucho extra damage :P

Post 87

got a question..?

Assassin vs. Barbarian?

who would win? my brothers are having an argument over it and i find it fascinating :D

Post 88

hrmmmm interesting question....

i havent played too many assassins so i prolly couldnt tell you...

I think it would come down to where the fight was... if it was in an area with lotsa monsters arround i think the assassin would have a much better chance....

btw one trick i have found with an assain is a good weapon for them (other then claws)

belive it or not... Bows... give em a fairly nasty bow and use the darken skill, so the enimeis cant see you and dont charge at you, and then have venow activated.. yes it works on bows... so they get the butloads of poison damage... :P

Post 89

Well the assassin has a shadow skill, so basically if used there would be 2 assassins :)

Locutus uses the assassin alot so he'd probably know how strong they are, i had one for a bit but never really got far with it. I'd say it would be a fairly even battle, if they were of even levels, i'd say the assassin would be in good chance of winning
