My ice sorceress gladiusCold was the #1 sorceress on the Diablo II US East realm in July, 2000. It was the heyday of barbarians and necromancers when barbarians' whirlwind and necromancers' corpse explosion were the ultimate skills in Diablo II. gladiusCold was a lone sorceress who managed to make it to level 77. In fact, gladiusCold was the only sorceress who ranked in the top 50!
I still play Diablo II occasionally. I recently fought the Prime Evils at Uber Tristram (Pandemonium Event), but I have yet to find Diablo Clone (World Event). I used to play 8 characters simultaneously on two computers, for example, necromancer for raising skeletons, barbarian for warcries, 6 paladins for all sorts of auras! I modified a RedVex Famulus follower module in order to control all 8 characters --- For example, I just played the necromancer, and all other characters were programmed to follow wherever the leader necromancer went. Anyway... it was extreme fun. It was such fun out of such a crazy idea that I hardly think I will ever find a game more exciting than playing 8 characters in Diablo II!
