Which version of Classic Diablo is your favorite?

**wcparker** · 06-12-2010, 21:48

Title says it all. I've played LoD for years on battlenet, but had enough, so I decided to go back to Classic Diablo Singleplayer. I started a Bone Necro in 1.13, but I've heard some negative comments about later patches in classic. So I'm wondering what veterans' opinions are on the most fun version and why. Also will I be able to play my character in an older version, or will I have to restart?

Thanks!

in 1.10 necro skeles got a big boost, but you dont get as many of them

before 1.09 the super unique razor spine was the worst monster ever

1.10 was my fav, but 1.12 added nocd close 2nd

Oh man, I think I remember that guy from the first time I made it to nightmare!

"Did I get killed by ... quill rats? ...twice?"

Skeles won't do me any good, since I'm playing a bonemancer. All my points are in synergies. Speaking of which, what patch was synergies, and were bonemancers viable before then? I'd think it would be rough without all the added damage.

1.10 added synergies

My favorite classic version (and current runthrough in SP) is 1.06b, the final pre-LoD patch. Here's a great guide by Ragnarod in the SPF that needs some more love: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=745320.

WW is absolutely godly back then, with weapon speed not making any difference to attack speed; there aren't any immunities (I think it's a 95% resistance cap); gambling is awesome (3% chance to get uniques, no altering of price based on level... easiest way to get an SoJ); the monsters are no joke... just ask Lord De Seis w/ Conviction and his pack of OKs; and teleport and/or LE/MSLE bosses suck.

I like it as it is now. 1.06 was nice too. Had a lot of fun in duels back then.

And.. yeah I miss Flamespike the crawler. But the scariest monster I ever faced was conviction multi-shot lightning enchanted bremm sparkfist in 1.09.

I prefer playing with other people, so my 'favorite' version is automatically upgraded with b.net

All the patches have cool little things going for em(well, pre 1.10 ones anyway). Like the insane 15% ed per level damage WW and CE ludicrously strong in pre 1.03, overpowerful bowas from 1.04 onwards, static field sorcs cheese in 1.09b with /players 64 command.

I did some vids and a runthrough of 1.00 for kicks: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=782778
