Hammerdin (that is... blessed hammer paladin), it packs a punch, can take tons of damage, and isn't put off by any form of mob immunity.

I've had fun with the bowazon (bow-based Amazon) and the ice-mage. Fire-based mages have trouble in that area.

Bowazons are fun, I prefer fury-javazons but they tend to run into difficulty in act 4 with lightning immune enemies, but they're very good at farming keys in act 2.

I still say hammerdin, they're very effective without having fully kitted out runeword/unique gear, and only get better as your equipment does.

What I did with mine was to put 100% of stat points into Stamina from the very start, as the base strength (with some charms) is enough to equip a Mage Plate Enigma runeword, which gives a huge boost to Strength. That said, I'm a min/maxer at heart.

hammerdin - the noise of blessid hammer gets annoying quick

 

skeleton necro lvl 20 summon skele/mastery and then like level 10 revive. I had one of them once and it's only flaw was I didn't invest enough points into the fire golem and/or I didn't have a strong enough bone spirit. you either have to have a good bone spirit or a good fire golem you can't balance both and be successful - I don't like the necro animation.

 

another necro trick is to max out blood golem and iron maiden and makes you invincible because damage returned is converted into life... at least I think so

They fixed the iron maiden + blood golem bug in patch 1.09d, pity they did though, that thing was king of the secret cow level.

And as for the sound of hammer, turn it down :P

Your very vague here, but I'm assuming you never did Hell difficulty post 1.10 patch? By then you should be somewhere around high 50's low 60's. NPC. I had to grind to 70(Act V NM) to get a half way decent chance to consistently hit carvers. Made it to Act 2 in hell as assassin, but I could easily die with 5 hits or less, or get one hit without even a seconds' reaction time from those lightning beetles.

Stamina ?
do you mean energy ?

No, Stamina. No class should ever put any points into energy in my opinion, it's so easy to get mana from items, potions, and there the rings that restore mana when you kill something. If all else fails, hit the aura that restores hp/mana from dead bodies briefly.

If you could buy Diablo 3 right now (magically in an absoulte complete release version, as it would normally will be released) how much would you realistically pay?
