Diablo 2 Resurrected Beginner Guide - Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing 20 Years Ago

I played this when I was 11-13 years old… I can’t believe how much of it I can still remember. It was definitely a game ahead of its time.

When I was 8 or 9 I played this with my dad, he had me pick necromancer because when I was younger I didn’t want to have to press a lot of buttons and an army was my best bet. I remember spamming bone wall so much that everything couldn’t move. Best memories to look back on

One other note about running: when you run, your armor rating drops to 0. In other words, not only will you block much less, but nearly every attack that connects with your hitbox will damage you.

This is the best informational video on D2R I’ve yet to see on YT.

I can’t tell you how many ”beginner tips” videos I’ve seen where they jump into the deep end and start talking about things and using terminology and references to builds that are anything but beginner. You instead start out explaining the gist of the classes and fundamentals of mechanics and then elaborate from there, and have a good understanding of what a novice is curious to (and needs to) know. This game looks fairly complex at end game, it sounds to be one that can be punishing and unforgiving to early mistakes.

While I did play this a LONG time ago and am not entirely inexperienced, given the time elapsed I may as well be. Good job on the advice, this was quite helpful.

After 20 years this game is still highly addictive.

As a teen I was a fps only gamer bro but as I’ve gotten older Diablo and path of exile have become like comfort food for gaming. There’s just something so addictive and satisfying about these games.

I played little of Diablo 1. Then loads of 3. Recently jumped on Diablo 2 remaster and realized how different this game is to 3. Also makes me wonder why the hell they chose the graphics style they used in 3. 2 has such a more sinister, gothic graphic style. Love it.

Gonna stay awhile and listen to this while I'm playing.

Walked memory lane just now, thank you! Diablo 2, Warcraft 2, and Starcraft were my go-to's back in the day

This is exactly what anyone new needs to know & returning players need to refresh. Excellent vid.

That chord at the beginning of the video, oh the memories...

Old player returning and I have checked out several guides to get re-acquainted. Imo, this is hands down the best. Stellar work being clear, organized, and succinct. Top notch stuff. Thank you.

Tonight when I get home will be my first time ever playing a Diablo game . Pure pressured into getting it to play with friends . After this video I feel like I’m in for alot haha

Easily the clearest, most helpful video I've found for D2R so far, thanks!

Fantastic job! I am super hyped to climb back into D2, thanks for the very helpful guide.

Holy crap! That was super freaking helpful. Thanks so much for putting this together. I’m going to watch you class guide now! Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to play some Diablo 2.

Super solid guide. It was long but, super informative with information that actually helps. A lot. Thank you for putting this together. 👌

I haven't played this game for years and I still remember all of it's gameplay in every inch and detail. I played Diablo 3 and had not played for 2 years but when I returned playing, I lost interest and I forgot all of it's detail. But, when this came back, I immediately bought it and started playing like a kid I was 20 years ago. Nostalgia at it's best right here!

This game was the light of my life growing up.
