Well I finally did it! I did have to have an asterisk with this one as he isn't technically my first. I had made a LF-zon guardian about 10 years ago, but it was aided with MP for most of the journey including all of Hell. Although it was fun I always wanted to do one SP. I had started a Hc-zerker after her and he deeded in A4NM and since that time I hadn't restarted. When you have limited play time the Deeds can be a hard pill to swallow. I rebooted now about 10 years later with a plan to accomplish my one goal of getting a guardian with each class. I started with the easiest-fishymancer. I found that I had a lot more patience with him this time around compared to previous attempts with this character. I also both remembered and forgot a lot of D2 :) I had to look up quests to remember how to complete them, however, I remembered pretty much all the sounds (like armor, or ring drops).

The fishy is by all accounts the safest character, however, he is a bit fragile and I think if I had better use of curses I could have stayed out of trouble. I had a number of NDEs and twice against Hell diablo I had to save and exit. Once I was completely engulfed by the infector of souls pack, and once D stuck me in a bone prison and started hosing me with lightning. I went through 4 Full rejuvs the first time but then he immediately started the hose again and I wouldn't have survived. I feel a little crummy about those but for once I was paying enough attention to get out of there before it was too late. I did Hell on P3 except for a couple of parts on P1. Baal dropped stormshield and frostburns which will be helpful for later characters. I constantly was cursing my merc for not going where I wanted him too.

Itamz: I posted my pally skiller in the item find thread. Otherwise not much to write about, UM was my highest rune. I tried taking screenies but apparently didn't remember how to do that correctly. I am not sure what my next plans will be. I may have him hit the cows a bit, but most likely will be moving on to other characters. I have the zon, barbarian, and assassin more or less sketched out, and will likely be doing some type of bowazon next. Thanks for reading!

Congrats!

Just in case, normally screenshots are automatically saved under the installation folder - you must already know it, but sometimes it can be forgotten when using Windows and trying to do the usual Paint paste method.

Anyway, welcome aboard on the path to Guardian Sept :) I don't have much time lately, but I am at 4/7, and yes I went summoner too for necro :) maybe following your adventures will bring me back in :p

Oh, and I'll add that: for builds, I went Windy for the druid - basically you can gear a spirit and caster combo similar to what could be useful for a Sorceress. Could even work for a Singer somehow, a Hammerdin...that's the easier way I guess.

Nice job Nona, a Fishy is a good first char. But for MFing purposes, go for a FO Sorc to build wealth. NM Andy and Meph and even Hell Meph too. I still use mine.
 
Congratulations on your first SP, SSF Guardian! That's an accomplishment to be proud of.

The socketed Sigon's Guard tickled me. You just don't see that every day; but it's highly functional and I'm glad to see you made use of your quest rewards in the best way you could instead of holding on to it forever!

Thanks, I don’t think I know the command to take the screen shots. It usually involves print screen + the windows key which just takes me out of my Diablo game so I assume I’m doing it wrong.

Should just need to hit print screen...D2 defaults to take a screenshot itself with that one key but you can change that under the games control options. Doesn't use the windows screenshot capability. D2 saves it then either in the diablo 2 install folder or in users/username/saved games folder for windows 10.

This.

On top of that, I'm on Win10 and I don't remember changing anything, but it is saved in my D2 install folder - so better check both just in case :)
