well what da ya know. I am playing Diablo2 again.
I can't let this game go. And I'm playing a class I never thought I would play. The necromancer.
The first time I played a necromancer I thought they sucked. You could only summone 1 skeleton with the wand you start with. And it took forever for that skeleton to kill anything.
But now I'm having a lot of fun. Now the only other class I haven't beaten Diablo with is the Assassin. I may still play that one someday. I was actually playing my Werebear a little yesterday too. It surely has been over 3 months but my character was still there
Okay my necro is pretty much a zookeeper (I think- I don't keep track of the names of all the subclasses). Most of my skills are in summoning. But I do plan on putting 1 point each into skills like poison nova, lower resists, summon resist, a couple others I can't think of now. I probably won't put any into the attract/confuse side of the tree. I haven't decided if I'll put any into the bone tree (the very right branch- bone armor, bone wall, bone prison) as well. I know they are useful, but right now my skill points are tight. I don't have any to spare. Most of my points are in summoning- mostly skeleton and golem mastery. I do think I will put 1 point into bone spear and bone spirit. I already wasted the point on teeth and poison dagger. So I figure I will go all the way up to bone spirit and poison nova. It will give me something to do aside from managing my army.
I didn't think I would like standing around having my monsters do all the work. But I'm having a lot of fun being the "general". I love having an army at my disposal.
Another thing that has helped the staying power of my part is the act 2 merc with prayer. Prayer helps keep my summons alive longer.
I'm still in act2, but I never use any potions. It's so nice not having to mess around with any potions- health or mana. Don't need them. But we'll see how things hold up in later acts. I have heard that this type of character can survive in hell, I am concerned about the staying power of my skeletons, but we'll see.

. I did join one game early on to help get through act 1. I was joined with a barb. Barbs work well with necros as well. 
- even on Cable modem connection.
