Diablo II and the Potions

It's kind of ridiculous for me to be writing about Diablo II, but I've been playing it again recently. Due to changes in Battle.net, I've been playing four different characters in turn, keeping them all within four levels of each other; that way they can "visit" each other's games and exchange equipment and items.

I'm playing:

- A sorceress who specializes in electricity and cold skills
- A druid, speciality werewolf transformations, combat, and dire wolves
- A necromancer, speciality golems (and later, Reviveds)
- A barbarian, speciality dual-sword use (aka Frenzarian)
( Read more... )

But this time I took out ALL of the non-purple potions and filled up the belt solid with nothing but full rejuvenations. Result: I killed Mephisto without dying ONCE. And I still had enough purples left over to fill my #4 slot! I definitely would have died several times over if I hadn't loaded up with all-purples.

It sounds obvious, I know. But it took me a long time to figure it out. :P

Actually, I was also probably being stupidly cheap on potions. You can't buy purples, which makes them technically rare; so I tend not to use them. But since I lose lots of them when I die, it makes a lot more sense to use them and stay alive!
