I am currently on lvl 26 now trying to figure a way to beat Mephisto. So, no I haven't done all of it yet.

BTW, if anyone knows any necro tips on how to beat Mephisto, please post them.


Blood golem and iron maiden, in order to distract him, then nail him with Bonespear. Just stay away from his lightning and don't let any mercs get near him.

I'm getting close to there. I've heard people say that you should dodge the lightning rays. Personally, I'm hoping that my Fire Golem/Bone Spear/Iron Maiden stretegy will work.

Yep lots of potions works for me. I found diablo fairly easy to kill, just keep out of his way.
I'm trying to get a hardcore character up to him so i can kill him. So far my level 24 hardcore character died opening the seals. A level 21 hardcore character died in the spider caverns in act 3 and my current hardcore character is level 18 at the end of act 2.

Been a while since I've played a Necro, but I recall that having 4 points in Skel Mage was an excellent investment. If you get Freeze Mages going for the boss fights, they are SOOOO much easier.

After the 1.03 patch, I created a new necro and only sunk a couple of points into CE. They only major use for CE is to blow up corpses so they can't be raised. For that purpose, raise skel is much cheaper, and works just as well.

DinoDoc, why so much strength? Necros should be in the fray, so you don't need to don any high str req equips. I think moving some of those str points into vitality would work out better for you.

I join the fray because I have not reached the point where I gain access to revived monsters and my golem is the sole tank that I have and that necessitates wearing descent armor. Plus, I am looking for Silks of the Victor which has a 100 str. req.

What is so good about revive? The monsters just last for 3 minutes at level 1.

Which classes are you interested in? I can give you several plans for each character but the Barbarian.

How about the Paladin?

I actually came here to ask about corpse retrieval. I heard about it in Diablo II reviews, but it doesn't seem to happen in Diablo, at least in SP. So is that just a multiplayer phenomenon in II as well?

While we're at it, what about the save system? some reviews seem to indicate that every time you exit the game, all the levels fill back up with monsters.
how does it work?

OK. You automatically save when you quit. YOur corpse mysteriously appears back in town, and all monsters in all levels are reincarnated. That's it. Now, time to dig out the Diablo II CD out of the stack building up on top of my tower.

Argh.... I just dropped the whole stack.... Yes! My Civ II CD case isn't broken....

If you play in the Realms, the monsters don't reset; otherwise, as above.

If I quit when killed, I automatically appear back in town.
but if I'm exploring and have to quit for some other reason (going to bed, work, or some such inconsequential), do I still appear back in town?
I'm playing Diablo for 15 minutes at a time sometimes, and if it's like that, I may just wait until somebody gives me their spare copy.

What about if I cast a town portal, and then save in town?

Put 3 into Zeal: A great primary attack. Only 2 mana cost. You do NOT want more than 3-4 into this because you will not be able to run away while you are hitting, and you do not attack new monsters that come near you once you have already started hitting.

Max out Concentration: This is my primary aura, I deal around 400% normal damage with it.

Put 10+ in charge and thorns: Thorns are great for melee if you have lots of life, charge is good for bosses, big guys (thorned hulk), is great for killing diablo's mages, and only costs 9 mana.

Put 1 into salvation. You may need it when your resistances are lowever by 50 in hell.

Dont put ANY into Holy freeze/fire/lighting. Even when maxed out, they will do NADA to the guys in late nightmare/hell.

The above 5 spells/auras are all you should need. period.

Use a socket shield with 3 perfect (if you can) diamonds in them to get ~ 50% resist all. Use a 1 handed sword with life steal. Knockback and cold damage help if you are using zeal.
