How a game this old is still so much fun, I don't know, but i think i'll buy it again (Even though I don't care about the graphics), just for the controller support.

It's funny but I used to do "fun" characters where I would try to get as far as possible using non-primary skills (like ravens...I beat normal with them, but not nightmare). This let me kinda know all the best combos for only playing through act II normal lol.

By far my favorite though is the Pally who starts off with 1 point in might, all points into holy fire and bonus points into resist fire (worth it early on). Once you get close to level 15 (about level 12), start saving for Vigor (just 3 points) so you can get it right away once it's available.

Long term reset your skills (normal diff use which is all we have right now) and change to cold/cold resist and 1 point into vigor as well. Honestly I'm not bothering switching this weekend because cold won't out damage fire.

Prob gonna start when it launches though with that build. Initially (as with most characters early on), I'll run with a very fast 3 socketed bow with the best damage gems I can put in (all 1 element and not fire early on and cold long term).

Longterm I'll switch to zeal of course and stop using a bow, max holy shield, but i'll probably stick with cold aura for the slow down and high damage increase.

Just curious if Zeal will get me the AR I need by itself without fanatacism. Might have to use a later skill reset to ditch cold aura for fanatacism, but i hope not. Cold Aura's attack slowdown + holy shields extremely high block rate (and much easier to cast now with a controller!!) should make for very good defenses.

Just wish I could make the char now.

I also love my Wolf Druid (Always will be using a bow lol). Only downside is no vigor which is really useful. My wolves eat things up though, but I just don't do the mass output of the pally damage wise (and certainly not vs bosses).

Anyway gonna probably pre-order it after this weekend as I'm really having fun and there is a bunch more builds for me to play and enjoy. I really SHOULD start as a sorc or if not an assassin, since they generally run the fastest long term (Sorc's teleport is basically life till you get an enigma...which I won't be getting anytime soon I'm guessing). You can sorta skip/run through as an Assassin though as well....so I could do that, and my old hybrid build (I posted a FAQ on here eons ago for it) is still insane.

Ugh, wish the game was launching already!!
