I don't know about the rest of you, but to me DII Hell is a little overdone. All the monster resistances, physical damage nerfing and lack of good drops, makes Hell level for my bowazons tedious. I'm not complaining because I'm getting my butt kicked (which in fact is not the problem), it's just that my skills and equipment seem pretty maxxed by the end of Nightmare, and Hell is just more difficulty with fewer rewards. Seems to me that Hell was invented to keep the less equipment enriched characters from making the ladder on the realms. Anyway, that's my rant. What do you think??

Hey Luke, As frustrating as it can be at times, i'd hate to see Hell get any easier, i tend to play Hell difficulty mainly in multiplayer games, don't know if you've spent much time on battlenet, but it can be sickening when you're chasing round after a barbarian who's laying waste to the entire area before you can even get to the monsters! thats what i like about it, not too sure about the severity of the resistance penalties, but the increased endurance of the monsters means that few characters can just sail thru it, and there's normally enuf for everyone As for monster immunities....... when i took my lvl 76 druid into Hell and realised i was only doing physical damage, and a lot of the monsters were immune to physical, the game got a lot harder. Best item i found for Hell was my greaves of accelleration!!! Run away.............

There is better gear out there, but you need to turn on players X, stock up on magic find and do mephisto runs until you puke... not my idea of fun :/Although, for weapons, the shops do offer some excellent stuff (although shopping gets kinda tedious too) Best way to get elites really...

I think it's probably too easy. Hell Act5=major bludge session. I think it makes it a lot more fun. And you get THE BEST drops in hell, most nm monsters cant drop anything nearly as good!------------------ Don't yell at me so much!! Pobodys Nerfect!

I do most of my MF in NM... So far, I have found 2 sojs, (218) Shaft, Sulldres Ire, 3 Perfect Nagle, and a lot of other stuff.... But I do agree, hell does offer less drops and usally higher quality when u get them... (or maybe I just don't kill enuff monsters :P) anyway, if hell were easier, it would make gettin to lvl 99, just that much faster, I dunno if u have check the latter on USwest, but u have to be lvl 99 just to get on anyone of the catagories... I do think they could decrease the amount of phsy immunes tho... that really bugs me  ------------------ Raven Zer0 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"

I, for one, have done over 1000 mephisto runs on hell. Belive me, you'll get sick of it.------------------ "I'd love to stay and help...only I'm not going to."
