A while back I had a post of doing a Druid without any gear that's unnecessary for the quests. It came down to me being able to use things like Khallim's Will, the Cube, and any other quest items. My goal was level 99. Here I will document in succesive posts, my softcore naked druid playthrough.
Act 1, Normal
Started out just fine. I got the Den with no problem, putting all my points into Firestorm. The place was roasted. I then farmed it till level 6, when I started putting points into Molten Boulder. Blood raven was rather difficult, and I died twice just trying to deal with her minions. Molten Boulder was my only saving grace, and the whole process leveled me to 7. I killed Blood Raven by keeping her in a corner with Molten Boulder.
The Search for Cain was all lemons and sunflowers until I found Treehead Woodfist. 9 deaths, and no mana and hitting him with my fists and a dead merc I couldn't res, until the dude died and dropped...
A THAWING POT AND A BLUE SWORD! I sold both, resed my merc and blew Rakenishu to goo. I went in to Tristram, freed Deckard Cain, and booked it out without killing a danged thing myself. The good thing about doing this naked is that you don't actually lose things when you die, so it's actually a free town portal in some cases.
At this point level 12 hit and I put a point in fissure. I had 7 in Firestorm, 4 in Molten Boulder, and one in fissure. I relised I needed some defense, so Akara retrained me and I put a point in cycone armor and arctic blast that came from Firestorm. This helped my survivability, and I steamrolled the countess and the smith. At this point I was level 14, and was just using fissure on everything. I started to make my way through the dungeon, and was having trouble. I drove my way down slowly.
Andariel was soon at hand, and I used Fissure and Molten Boulder to keep her back and burning. Act 1 was complete. My worn gear: A ring of defense +5 from Akara.
Edit: More to come soon!
