The Ultimate D2 Classic FAQ (in thread form)

about 1/4 the times I play there's at least one high council member with 2 immunes. Sometime's it's physical and their normal one, but more often it's two elements. My dual tree sorc heavily sucks (she was my first sorc, and 2nd char overall, so that kinda tells you why). I liked hydra and frozen orb, but it's not doing enough fire damage on the cold immunes. I should rebuild, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's alone. She's MF too, so obviously I'm not getting much from her equip. She's a 3 tree sorc too. Only one in most skills for lightning tho. She's orb (20), hydra(5), meteor(4), nrg shield (2), and a couple into some other skills. I also put a handful in stuff like frozen nova and fire wall a long time ago. I have all the skills too, so I actually have a lot of skills I put points into that I don't use.

Why concentration/iron skin barb? For the high defense? Concentration barbs can probably solo hell, but I'm telling you now it's going to be hard and slow.

Skills:
You'll definitely want to get your Wep mastery to max. I'd recommend taking some off of increased speed. People always say how important it is to be able to move really fast, but I just don't see it. Besides, you only get a 2 percent increase on lvl 6. If you still really like this skill, you might as well stop on lvl 5 if, where you still get a 3 percent increase. I can't tell you much else since I've never played a concentration barb.

Stats:
You'll need to know what equip you have to decide most of the stats. I'd recommend something with fast attack speed. You'll be attacking super slow if you try to go with something like a BH. Dex does not effect block at all. You could put every point you ever get into dex, and still only have the amount of block that's on your shield.

Equip:
Find some rares. Use angelic/ammy combo earlier on. You'll probably need very high leach too, since you're going to be attacking so slowly. With WW barbs, they're attacking once every 4 frames, and about 15 leach is good in hell. You'll need much more than that, since you'll be attacking much slower than that. I'd recommend twitch since you won't be getting the blocking penalty you do if you WW, which is the main reason I've never used twitch on a barb. For your wep, you'll definitely need some rares. Uniques just don't cut it in hell. Nagas are probably your best best in terms of a good proportion between damage and attack speed. If you end up keeping the angelic ammy/ring combo, you won't need to have like super high dex or anything, but you'd be sacrificing leach.
