With D2R coming @Elly and @Rush want to get the guides sorted out. Many are very out of date and I'm not sure that we have all the basic builds covered. Some are maybe too complicated for a new generation of players.
So first step: What builds need to be covered? Below is a list of cookie cutters from the top of my head, which should we have guides for? Which are not required?
Starter Build Guides
(Untwinked, first ever playthrough)
Next Step Build Guides
(I have completed Hell and farmed some items)
Amazon
- Physical Bowazon
- Lightning Javazon
Assassin
- Trapper
- Dragon Talon
- Phoenix Strike
Barbarian
- Whirlwind
- Frenzy
Druid
- Fire
- Wind
- Fury Wolf
Necromancer
- Poison Nova
- Bone
Paladin
- Hammerdin
- Physical Zealot
Sorceress
- Blizzard
- Lightning
This is mainly targeted at people just starting out, who have never played D2 before.
- What build would you start with?
- what builds would you try next?

Reformated list to go with post 3
Added starter builds for all classes, thanks @art_vandelay

Starter Build Guides
(Untwinked, first ever playthrough)
Class | Build | Difficulty | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Amazon | Fishyzon | Medium | Can be started either as a Bowazon or a Java and has little problem with bosses or large packs due to ChS and Freeze. No immunity problems. |
Assassin | Trapper | Medium | Start out with Fire Traps and respect to Lightning |
Barbarian | Whirlwind | Hard | Whirlwind & Berserk with Warcry for crowd control Nightfish Berserker? |
Druid | Elemental | Medium | Start out Fire and respect to Wind |
Necromancer | Fishymancer | Easy | |
Paladin | Hammerdin | Medium | |
Sorceress | Meteorb | Easy | Maybe with a recommendation to respect to pure Blizz once Hell is beaten? |
