Hmmm, re the Amazon? I can see the bow being very handy, but what about those times when you get rushed by the crowd and can't get out? Or like the Boss from Chapter 2 where you don't have much running around room? Does the bow still hit even if a monster is right up on you?
Nope, haven't done the cow level YET LOL. For some odd reason I decided to try all of the characters at the same time, and move them one by one through each chapter. I almost have all of them finished with Chapter 2 (except the Sorceress who I just can't for the life of me get her to defeat the Ch. 2 bossbug) [img]tongue.gif[/img] So it's slow going getting further into the game this way, but I am getting to know all the characters and their abilities pretty well! I also occasionally *cough*
play at work, just one character, a Barbarian, whose on Chapter 4 now. Unfortunately I don't have the Expansion Pack at work, so am stuck with the original DiabloII (hate the small chest inventory like a big dog!!!)
Oh and I love the Assassin! Wake of Fire rocks!

Unlike BG... no penalties for using a bow in close range. You can do it and it is effective. Some abilities are multi arrow and strafe that basically take the aim out and just shoot at whatever is around. Kick butt!! (The main reason I love the Amazon is for those little monsters that leap, run and generally don't stay put... much easier with a bow or Javelin to take them out.)
Chap 2 with Sorceress... try the cold spells and let your merc take him out. Cold is the most useful with Sorc, because they aren't attacking if they are frozen.
I am doing your thing now with taking all my characters a little at a time through the game. I get bored with one and play another.
The assassin is cool... my new fav. I love throwing daggers with her - and claws... man, some of those martial arts ROCK!
When you get to the Secret Cow Level... try to keep a straight face. It is the only way to beat those moo moos. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
