The best builds in d2

I think, that gold, silver and bronze medal will have three char builds, who are the best in my opinion.

First place-bova/crossbow amazon. She can use her physical damage everywhere. Though she will never get enough good resistances, her fire range(Strafe and Guided arrow) is great even on oblivion mages in Chaos Sanctuary. She also can do runz on every bosses(ofcourse after finding Buriza:) before starting nightmare) and she is deadly on duels.

Second place- mage necro, who is using bone spells. I have created on single player 2 this kind necros. I am satisfied, I must add:) I always increased golem mastery to maximum and golem has got only one level. Always Bone Spirit, but espesially since current patch also bone spear. There is only five monsters, who has got magic immunities, so necro can do runz on every bossess. I don't know, how he looks like on duels, but on player vs monster game he is great

Third place- well i am not sure to the end. I am thinking about Werewolf and usuall pally: fanatic zealot. Hmmm. I don't know. Druid can have the highest hit points in game, but fanatic pally espesially with Lightsabre is a Master of attack speed. They both can have a lot of damage, but druid's Fury is the best "spell", which is upgrading physical fighting in the whole game. Well, i don't know, who is better.

What do you think about it? Which builds are the best in your opinion?
 
I totally disagree. . .

Bowazon sucks for PVP. I have never been beaten by a bowazon with my v/t.

Bowazons are pathetic for duels.

Of course we all have our own opinions, but it doesn't sound like you duel much.

Some of the top duel builds would have to be:

Vindicator/Templar
Hammerdin
Pure Foher (Although I'd prefer my V/T any day)
Bone Necro
Summoning Necro
Elemental Druid
Concentration Barbarian
WW Assassin
Trapper
Blizzard Sorceress
Frozen Orb/Energy shield Sorceress
Fire Sorceress
Lightning Sorceress

And many others I'm sure. Those are in no particular order, and lots of them are lame builds, but they are the main and best duelers.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against amazons, I have a PVM strafezon, but I'll say that they should just stick to PVM.

I laugh at all the despicable Bowazons that town hug and end up getting their *** kicked in one hit.

No offense but you don't seem like a dueler. I know this thread isn't called "The Best PVP Builds," but it doesn't say "The best PVM builds" either. And you also mentioned Bowazin with ballista in dueling. . .

Ballista is way too slow. Don't get me wrong, it does have nice damage, but it's way too slow, and anyone that tries dueling with it, well, just shouldn't be dueling.
 
I'd have to say fire sorc (possibly with a little col on the side) :)

and then I am a fan of the avenger and cold pala... not the best for pvp maybe but sure fun and easy played :). Avengers are very good for diablo-clone-kills also. I have only met him three times but all three times avenger killed him solo pretty easy (well one time was actually an elemental zealot but still) :)

@A_S_G well you are of course right in many points... but it seems pretty clear that he was not talking about pvp at all... but purely pvm. Of course there are many builds that cna handle all the action pvm. :)
 
Overpowered:

Hammerdin
Javazon
Cold/Fire Sork's (blizz/fireball)
Bone necro

Not overpowered, but very effective:

Lightning sork
Summon necro
psn/summon necro
Trapper

Good and easy:

WW barb
Zealot
Elemental druid
WW druid
FC druid

Just in a nutshell what I think, not original builds and many will disagree :P

Really, then what do you suppose this is?

:evil:

But yes, he was mainly talking about PVM, but then again he didn't really specify, so I gave the best duelers in my opinion.

Although my favorites would have to be:

My V/T
My WW Sin (If I ever get the last piece to finish the re-make of her)
I sorta like my Ele Druid
And if I could afford it, I would make a decked out Concentration Barbarian with 39X3/20/20's. (Annihilus is 40th charm.) I know it's lame, but then I would have a kickass Barbarian. . .

I also love my Enchantress. Lets me make characters so fast. (I have two on NL and one on Ladder)

My Singer is also helpfull.

On ladder I'm working on a strafer, I'm level 74, once I got to 73 I promised myself I would baal it no further. So now I'm just gonna go PVM in hell to level her up when I'm bored. It's fun with Strafer+Might Merc+Enchantress to power her up. :D

What do you think about it? Which builds are the best in your opinion?

Skelemancers (some call them necro summoners) are my top class. I do not yet have a 2nd and 3rd place... as all the other chars I've tried on the last ladder more or less sucked...

Of the others, Bonemancer probably deserves rank 2 --- he was in fact my most successful char before the Skelemancer, and I thought he was pretty good, but that was before I built the Skelemancer :-) So maybe I would even put the Bonemancer on rank 3 and leave rank 2 empty, just to emphasize my opinions a bit.

I do not PK, so no experience there. And I rate builds by how well they can solo everything in hell AND the kind of gear they need (i.e. build needs tons of uber expensive stuff too work -> it sucks).
 
Overlord sounds better than Skelemancer, which sounds better than Summoner. (Or flip the last two arround, it doesn't really matter, Overlord is the best.)
 
My Awards:

Gold: Tank Blizzard Sorcs
Silver: Mageslayer Assassins
Bronze: Pure Poisonmancers

A note on Hammerdins: DIE AND DISAPPEAR ALREADY! (sorry, i just really dislike their overpoweredness) (if that's even a word)
 
As someone said, I have done this set in a perspective of getting experience playing-player vs monster game. And i am not much experienced in duels.
But i don't know, why one elemental sorcerress is as good, as many think??????!!!!! One elemental sorcerress is really useless, because it's possible only to finish normal difficulty alone(i am watching also in perspective of single players). By the way: what is the best way to create good hammerdin? I can already tell, that i am not so wealth as I should be in matter of equipment(so i don't need advices in style: amulet-mara, armor-Enigma or weapon-Hoto. I even don't know what they are worth. So i need some realistic items, which i could get myself, and also stats and spells.
 
PvM:
LF javazon w/ maxed valk
Any Dual-Element Sorc
Summoner

PvP:
Bone necro
Wind druid
Hammerdin

In PvP a sorc cant have 2 elements and have enough power, and one element is too easily resisted/absorbed. A skilled hammerdin can own in duels, and necros can just be pansies and run off screen shooting stuff.

Read this guide and you'll have examples of cheap items that will help you at first. You can also have a look in the pala forum.
Identify all the rare items you'll find, as they can be very useful. Anya can also help a lot by dropping a good reward. There are also many unique that are not expensive and you can buy for pgems (Wizardspike, Skin of the Vipermagi with low resist, Que-Hegan's Wisdom, Peasant Crown, Magefist, Frostburn...). Collect all the pgems you can...

bast0s
 
1. Bone Necro.
2. Wind Druid.
3. Hammerdin.
all with enigma of course.
Althought a ww barb who has had a ton spent on him can be rediculously good.

I'll tell you who is over powered. Last night on single player, I made a level 91 barb that doest 2153k-7108k dmg. His duel sword cast level 31 psn nova, frozen orb, meteor, nova, ice nova and chain lightning. His bo gives him 32,000 life and over 1 million defense. Hell baal runs under /players 8 is no problem, one hit kill on baal :) Man single player can be fun.
Edit, I only did this because I got a huge realm down. :(

what were his stats/equipment?
 
I love my mageslayer with widowmaker on switch for pesky barbs/zealots (pubby duels). Right now saving for a chaos claw to replace my tuc to have a ww/guidedarrow/kicker.
