Diablo 2 Contenders?

Oh and JW, how many times have you caught yourself at work thinking up some new enchanted item to create to really kick some butt, or to help you explore some difficult are better? It’s so openended, the possibilities are infinite, you don’t even have to complete the main quest, you can just wander around exploring, and the awesome architecture of some of the places you find! Good God! Ok, I just totally revealed what a videogame freak I am, crap. It sure beats getting drunk with my loser friends or going shopping with my girl, or watching some retarded “reality” tv show.

I spent too long addicted to Starcraft.

Tried the assasin. Either they changed something in the upgrades (or patches), or the character is a more efficient killing machine than the rest.

I am at level 20 now, and, get this, I still have 35 ability points not invested and something like 6-7 skill point spare too. Only died 2 times yet. Presently entering the stage where I need to find Tal Rasha`s tomb (the one with the good symbol).

My recall was that it was harder with the Zon (Amazon) or Barbarian. Sure, having an archer with me help, but so far it just seems too easy.

Curious to see how it will change in the last acts before Diable AND redoing it after (my hunch is that I will get my ass kicked in the second time around).
