Resurrected in 2026, and I'm already faced with an impossible choice

Like my time Diablo 4 As Season 11 begins to wind down, I'm looking for something else to play to fill my ARPG addiction before the Lord of Hatred expansion is released later this year. While I still need to check Road to exile 2Druid, I can't help but find myself going back to the good old ones Diablo 2 In 2026. However, booting Diablo 2: Resurrection The first one in a while has left me with choice paralysis, as I have two equally relevant class options, and I can't decide which one I want to use for a new playthrough.

Playing Paladin for Diablo 4 Season 11 made me fall back in love with one of my favorite classes Diablo 2So I have a strong desire to play in this class Diablo 2: Resurrection See how it compares to the new one Diablo 4 edition. At the same time, Amazon Class is calling out to me as one of my least used Diablo 2 classes, and one that I suspect will be the second new class added with the release of Lord of Hatred. Both of these classes offer great reasons to go back Diablo 2: Resurrection in 2026, but narrowing it down to one is proving quite difficult.

An easy tick in the pro column for Paladin, and one of the reasons the class is so much fun, is the possibility of a completely broken build.

The main drawback of playing Paladin Diablo 2: Resurrection Varga requires a lot of commitment to achieve its full potential. The lack of DPS that makes the early game Paladin feel effective, makes things more difficult with the limited mobility of the class.
