1. Hammerdin Paladin

The classic Hammerdin build remains one of the strongest options for PvM farming and Uber Tristram runs. A Paladin specialized in the Vigor aura and Blessed Hammer skill can shred through enemies with high damage output and survivability from shields and plate armor. With sites like D2JSP where you can buy D2R items, min-maxing a Hammerdin is fairly straightforward.

2. Cold Sorceress

As the quintessential D2 caster class, Sorceresses focused on freezing enemies solid with Cold skills remain a top pick. Build around skills like Frozen Orb, Ice Blast, Glacial Spike, and Cold Mastery for maximum crowd control and damage. Late game, farming areas like Ancient Tunnels and Frozen River with a well-geared Cold Sorc is very efficient. Be sure to stock up on key runewords like Stealth for survivability.

3. Lightning Javazon

With the buffs to Amazon skills in recent patches, Javazons focused on maximum Lightning DPS have become a force to be reckoned with. Buy D2R items with +skills and +enemy Lightning Resistance reduction, alongside skills like Lightning Fury, Thunder Storm, and Charged Strike. Endgame goals could include runewords like Insight in your Mercenary's weapon and gear like Griffon's Eye or The Andariel's Visage helmet for massive damage output.

Farming Lower Kurast superchests with a geared Poisonmancer is highly profitable.

While not quite as powerful as a Lightning Bowazon, a build focused onFire skills and Explosive Arrow still packs a punch. Max Fire and Explosive Arrow skills first, then synergies.
