Ultimate Party?

[A.D.]

I am pretty bored at work so I've beeing toying around with this in my head.

Imagine you had to create a 7-person party, with each person playing a different class?

Which build types would you pic? here is what i'd try...

Assn - Trapsin. Merc would be Blessed Aim/Gaze/Fort

Sorc - Meteor/Fireball/Enchant, no ES. Merc - act2 Prayer 17Insight/Infinity/Fort

Nec - Poison Nec, w/21 Bramble. All Curses, Extras in LR - act2 Might Insight/Infin/Fort

Pally - Hammerdin, use Conc Aura&Exile for Defiance. - act2 Thorns BotD/Gaze/Fort

Barb - WW Barb w/max BO. Act2 Freeze Merc BotD/Gaze/Fort

Druid - Wind Druid - Hurricane/Max Oak Sage - Act2 Defiance BotD/Gaze/Fort

Zon - Bowazon - 15 Faith bow, 20 in Crit, Strafe/Multi maxed - Act2 Blessed Aim BotD/Gaze/Fort


I'm sure I've made some oversights, but I'd like to see the party in action. Totally Geared up. I can see most sitting back and casting while Pally gets up there with hammers and barb uses WW. Mercs would be doing a lot of killing. I Doubled some of the equipment like Insights, Infinities so in case a merc dies off you won't be taking too big of aura hits. The only thing they may be lacking is cold Damage, but still i think it'd be fun to watch...

Instead of a fire sorc go with a cold sorc with enchant, orb has alot more of a clearing radius than fireball or meteor. It would be a nice party, especially for baal runs, it would be godly.

best 7 party EVER is 7 hammerdins with hoto enigma shako hoz anachrid sojs maras ... thats gg own everything in matter of miliseconds

If your talking about playing through, i'd say.

Sorc- Orber
Assn- Light Trap
Necro- Summomancer, if your group doesn't like it, than i'd say Curse main for backups and poison.
Pally- Zeal, this is untwinked play, twinked, a hammerdin could do without a party.
Barb- WW hands down
Druid- Elemental
Zon- There is a lot of melee kills in this group so I'd say Bowazon with guided arrow and multi arrow, for the 8th person i would have a javazon, pally that does a different skill, or a sorceress.

Really, none of these characters need a party if they are tweaked, they can kill easily.

I hate playing diablo the way everyone does on closed, this sounds like a lot of fun. I should get some freinds and do this with them, the way diablo is played in single player.

That actually does sound like fun, no trading except betweent he party, no grabbing crap off muels, no maphack... Just 100% unadulterated diablo.

why 7 players? 8 is max for game....but i'll do mine i guess.

1. ww barb with max bo, some bc, and high shout. have 1 of his weaps be beast for fanat, can use another weap in other hand if you wish. use an act1 merc, probably cold would be best. have her equipped with harmony bow for vigor, bramble for thorns(this can actually be on anyones merc, but figured her because she will be attacked least so wont need better armor), and dream helm.
2. ele druid with max oak with holy freeze merc using insight
3. orb sorc with prayer merc using insight(godly healing ability since prayer is synergy to med)
4. trapper with shadow warrior and defiance merc using infin
5. summon/poison hybrid necro with points in lower resists. might merc using uhh, cant think of anything right now. the summons will help the barb tank.
6. hammerdin with glitch merc. complete ownage(those of you who have played with Homer know that ). even more so with conviction and lower resists from allies
7. thought about putting smiter here, for fanat and godly tanking, but then realized that the lifetap would cast over lower resists. so i added beast to the barb for the fanat, and i am going to go with a fire sorc with good enchant. merc will be blessed aim with another infinity in case the trapper's merc dies

this party will have the following auras/boosts: BO, BC, shout, fanat, vigor, thorns, holy shock, oak sage, holy freeze, 2xmeditation, prayer, defiance, 2xconviction, lower resistances curse, might, concentration, glitched holy shock and holy fire, enchant, and blessed aim.

this party would be so freakin godly i almost blew a load in my pants just thinking about it. with all those boosts, every character in the party could kill baal by themselves with the rest of them just hanging out in throne. hell this party would give the ubers a run for their money.

i wouldnt mind making this party...but not on single player, and trading should be allowed so everyone gets the gear they need.
