I again make a Tier List instead of a Ranking
S Tier
Sorceress
Without a question S Tier. She has all the cool spells and spell effects (Frozen Orb, Firewall, Hydra, Meteor, Thunderstorm) and some of the coolest builds (especially Hybrid Builds of two elements).
Amazon
Or to be more specific: Lightning Fury Amazon. That skill is just the apex of awesomeness. Multishot and etc, are nice, but sadly kinda underpowered. I would have loved to use them more if they were more efficient.
But still, even that these skill had the potential to be great and that LF is so awesome, I put Amazon in S Tier.
A Tier
Paladin
I really only like the FanaZealer, but that one is awesome. I also loved the animation for Fist of the Heavens, but that skill was useless due to the ICD. Also both in D2 Classic and Median XL, the Paladin was the first class I every played, so it will also have a special place for me.
B Tier
Assassin
The highest I ever leveled a single character. iirc she was either 94 or 96, can’t rememebr exactly. And she was a Phoenix Striker Assassin, not some Trapsin. I just loved the fantasy of Phoenix Strike.
C Tier
Druid
I didn’t play that much Druid. I played a lot of Druid in Median XL, but not in D2. Hurricane, Armageddon and Twisters were cool and I played with these builds a bit, but Shapeshifting never really was my thing.
Necromancer
The spell effects of Bone Spear, Bone Spirit and Bone Armor were awesome imo and that is why this is not ranking lower. I never really was a summoner fanatic, probably because that build took a while to summon all the stuff and was not that powerful iirc.
Corpse Explosion is effectwise great in D3 but not in D2 and in D2 it was not really efficient to combine summoning with the spells iirc, or at least I couldn’t make it work that well.
Barbarian
Whirlwind was great (although only useful in D2 Classic iirc), but the rest of the Barbarians effects where not really interesting for me (Frenzy and Double Swing where somewhat interesting in regards to animations) and since visuals are kinda important for me, I can not rank this higher.
