Im tempted to do a classic playthrough now!! Never done one.. i first started back in the day with LoD. I do rememeber when WW barb was the godly build in 1.08, what a throwback!!
Great video! I always wondered why there weren't more classic videos out there. The itemization wasn't there it's all about rolling a nice rare. Older patch video would be interesting. I remember 1.08 shako and arkaines valor were insane for example. They would trade for 40 SOJS (full trade inventory)
Oh that sounds fun. Added it to the runs I gotta do at some point list. Could be a while though haha, I'm over 400 runs on the list at this point. This kinda blew up a lot
Just a fun little factoid about barb versus barb dueling in classic. One of the best setups was simply to use swordback hold and twitchthroe. This gave you max block and 50% open wounds which was ultimately the most reliable way to do damage. The best weapons were rare battle hammers for pvp and Martels or lances for pve. The maximum roll for damage on a rare was 200%. Barbs usually used whatever weapon they could get, including nagas and exe swords with high % rolls. Helms were usually grim helms with high defence and other useful stats. The top tier pvp barbs sometimes used really high def ornate plates and pavases but from what I understand this gave only a marginal benefit over the twitch + bhold combo. I never really saw anyone with those although I read about them on a forum once. Anyhow this run took me way back
Barbs are the most enjoyable playthrough because of how challenging and item based it is. You can really feel the improvements after better items, compared to casters who just increase dmg after every skill level. Its just a shame that they are so underpowered compared to version 1.09.
I did a barb WW a while back on P8. Farm normal Diablo for bonesnap, eventually upgrade it, and do a ton of strength. I actually had quite decent clearing speeds. Crushing blow is a must. Gambling is your friend for good jewelry, and resistance and DMG charms are your best friend.
Your experience is the reason I always play Classic Hardcore Seasons with 2 friends, but we've been doing this for years now - classic gear & skills are just satisfiing for us. The GRIND that D2 LOD brought is for my personal time killing.
I still remember playing classic with a friend and we both made WW Barbs using polearms and Iceblink… the amount of freezing 🥶 and shattering going on all over the screen was incredible. Best Barbarian experience I’ve ever had in all of the Diablo games.
@@thenuclearrabbit Like everyone else my generation I had Diablo 1 and 2. Seeing your videos makes me want to buy the new version, but then watching you play and face the immunes makes me ugh as I remember them. I was a complete newb and played without any sort of runewords so I used to play a slow but steady Necro without ANY auras, and my favorite, a Homing Arrow amazon. Incredibly slow but also steady. I saw that there are mods for the game that add more items and make certain classes like Barb and (summon) Druid better. Do you have any insights on it?
I did classic for a ladder and its crazy what i learned about the game. Tri res rares are more common in classic and people actually farm them and port them over to LoD for trades. Farming Sojs in classic is actually easier than LoD. Same thing, port them over. You can get double and triple duration rolled melee weapons. So the best melee weapons are actually well-rolled high durability martels. You want one that will last an entire chaos sanctuary. I found an endgame martel on the first CS run :D
I didn't know about the tri res rares. Figures though. Soj is easier, but you can't farm them from Nightmare andy like in lod. But cause there are less unique rings it's a higher chance to drop. You can get those in LoD as well. Depends on the monsterlevel of the monster. If a monster tries to drop a unique or set but fails it becomes a rare version of the item with double or triple durability. Congratz on the martel!
I played a lot of Whirlwind in classic, barely touched my Barb since LoD. Also I believe SoJ's are much more common in classic, though they're still rare so lucky find indeed!
Had the very same experience when Lod launched. Was level 75 or something but Polearm Whirlwind just isn't great in Lod. Any plans for your character to make him LoD viable?@@thenuclearrabbit
I got to level 27 on my classic HC barb before giving up due to sheer agonizing boredom. It become an absolute pain killing mobs 1 at a time when you miss every other hit. Tried holding out until WW but couldn't do it lol. The lack of charms and other cool things from LoD is really missed for me. Regardless, dope vid
Yeah early barb is rough. So I get it. It's worth it to pull through though. Even if you do like 1-2 blocks of exp a day getting whirlwind is so fun. Thank you!
Ahh yes. 1 frame WW barb. This TRULY was my childhood, and also the reason why every time The Grandfather drops I get hyped for a sec before I remember it's trash in LOD lol
@@mikehawk8984 With the metamorphosis trick (having beast on swap, turn into bear and wack an enemy for that mark of the bear buff) GF is definitely useable late game. It's an expensive way to get skill ias, but you only need 26 ias on gear so lay of hands and highlords is good enough for 4 frame ww. Plug in ohms and go crazy!
I did this once and found a Bonesnap. Litrerally with that much Crushing Blow even Hell Diablo flopped over. I wish they made Whirlwind Viable, it doesn't need to hit on every frames, but it also can't be LoD's wet noddle either.
Oh yeah Bonesnap is insane in classic. I mean it can clear hell in LoD. I wish they did every 2 frames or something like that. I wouldn't even mind 1 frame whirlwind in LoD. It'll still be slower than sorc/pala/sin
Classic is quite easy vs LoD, but I had the most fun playing it (maybe I played too much LoD). One thing which I highly recommend is to try Vanilla version - that's the best experience which I ever had. I played it with iron maiden + golem necro and he was OP... The biggest problem is no mana potions in vendors, but still it gives good experience :)
Yeah it's a shame. I never knew how much more coherent classic feels. Everything is exactly as the gameplay demands it should be, never to hard never to easy. Really an excellent experience all around
When I played classic hc ssf barb, I farmed bonesnap off of normal diablo. It's a reasonable grind and it makes nighmare/hell so much easier. Hell diablo was easy. I guess the run looks reasonable enough without bonesnap now that I watch your video. I'd definitely use bonesnap over your final weapon though. imo, all the weapons better than bonesnap are extremely hard to find.
Farming bonesnap is a very solid strategy, I just don't like farming for a specific weapon very much. It makes it less fun for people to want to do the run themselves if I spent a long time farming. Bonesnap is very good though.
If I remember correct you can buy/gamble warhammers. It should be a bit better. Also just pushing into nightmare on lvl 24 should be fine in classic. That opens up a lot of drops and stuff
@@thenuclearrabbit i finally Hit 30 and Instant ww i feel Like a good now lol. Played myself through nm. Im a1 wp3 hell. Lvl45 Found bonesnap and other nice Items. Day2 tomorrow i Need exping 😅
TOTALY admire the pike barb and anyone who goes through the game in HC with it. In the original game with Ice Bling they were god. with an insite mirc / holy freez its a lot easer.
My friend wy i cant save my data on ofline mode in my ps5 i vant understand i played 3 hours and i turn of the ps . Wen i opened again my gameplay is not existed
I kind of just keep going on players8 untill I can't anymore and then just grind when I feel I need it. I barely pay attention to my lvl in classic. I've recorded a second classic run and both chars ended hell mid-50's from basically just going through the game. Best places to farm lvl's for me were the flayer jungle and the chaos sanctuary, but I barely needed to. Edit: the tower in the black marsh is also a fantastic spot to grind lvl's
NR: "There's something a bit different about Whirlwind in Classic" Me: Yeah, it's the most broken skill in the game! Also, Pokemon Nuzlockes, when? (obviously I recognised the gen 2 rival battle theme that you put as BGM during Normal Diablo fight.)
I started the channel with a fire red nuzlocke and a randomized leaf green nuzlocke. So I could get into those again. I use a lot of pokémon music and my first playthrough of violet is on the channel as well. I've also been masterball in ranked duo's every season since the release of the game. So yeah nuzlockes are definitely on the table, would love to do some vgc stuff as well
i remember back in the day when clans were a thing on D2...we would roll 1 tele sorc (Lightning) 4 lance barbs, pally hammer and 2 bow zon or 1 bow zon and a pet necro LUL
Ah the old Classic times. They patched the Iron Maiden Curse from Knights in Chaos out, right? This was the hardest thing for a WW Barb back in the time. But damn man! I forgot how important it was to get the normal Uniques or Sets. And a biiiig Lance with Ed. Yeah. Find a Lance and beat the game :D But the best thing Classic has. In HC your Title in the End is King! You are a fucking King! Nice man. It still is, right? This was an awesome separation from SC, dude. But on the other hand. I would not play Classic anymore. LoD has to much to offer. If they just kept on with the HC title....
Oh yeah becoming King felt so much better then Guardian. There was no Iron maiden. I was terrified going into the chaos sanctuary though cause I wasn't sure. I like LoD, but feel like classic does play different enough that it truely adds something
Classic has alot more fun builds I played it more than LOD even PvP is way more fun level 1-15 or 16-30 even level 80 to 99 PvP was fun and you could make some wacky builds like a tan do flail with cleg gloves would make anyone you hit be slowed for a very long time throw on a sword back shield you could DoT people's life away haha barbs had the most versatile builds in classic I pvped a ton tried a ton of builds best was a battle hammer with sword back shield gob toe angelics rings and amulet twitch armor or rattlecage death gloves with belt or a bloodfists with a 20str 60 life belt and a Biggins Bonet cap or a worm cap sometimes you would switch out the rings and amulet set for a skill amulet 20str and rings 15 str with ar and leech it was boss tbh there's so many variants you could use it's just fun I find LOD has less variety and so dependant on runewords
Dude u had the most fucking lucky run ever im having my worst i farmed andy meph over 200x each i found about 8 golds and they all sucked XD after 17 hours still using x2 3o flails with emeralds
On nightmare? Just shop for a weapon. There are no really good uniques in classic. You can also just roll a lance using gems like I did. A martel de fer would be even better
@@thenuclearrabbit I played a few ladders back on classic and i steam rolled it. I just have not found anything good in general. just hit 30 and picked up ww using a chieftain atm tearing shit up. But the drops still have been unlucky. Think i used all my luck on the lod ladder i played where i made a trav barb and full bis gg geared a trav hork barb and hammerdin in under 2 weeks. Most luck i have had in the past 20 year was insane.
Oh man, this was so awesome!
I'm super keen to see more classic runs, especially if other builds/quirks are this wildly different!
I'll do more of them I really enjoyed this. So many runs so little time though
best armor for barbarian is that unique armor that can freeze target when get it hit is awesome. it is best to go with the lance or long weapon .
Just started a classic whirlwind barbarian for the first time and this video is amazing to watch while playing. Love it
Thank you! Good luck on your run
Insane in general for all the reasons you mentioned, but even MORE insane that you beat hell act 4 at level 58! Keep up to good demon slaying work!
I even grinded for levels, I think you could go like lvl 45 if you really push it.
Just wanted to say thank you, your videos made me love the game again, SSF HC is new for me but i like it a lot! Great content, keep it up!
No, thank you for watching! Will do :) good luck on hc ssf!

Filthy casul, play classic graphics, 25fps on a 14 inch monitor or no retro brass balls.
I miss those days
Dude u had the most fucking lucky run ever im having my worst i farmed andy meph over 200x each i found about 8 golds and they all sucked XD after 17 hours still using x2 3o flails with emeralds
On nightmare? Just shop for a weapon. There are no really good uniques in classic. You can also just roll a lance using gems like I did. A martel de fer would be even better
@@thenuclearrabbit I played a few ladders back on classic and i steam rolled it. I just have not found anything good in general. just hit 30 and picked up ww using a chieftain atm tearing shit up. But the drops still have been unlucky. Think i used all my luck on the lod ladder i played where i made a trav barb and full bis gg geared a trav hork barb and hammerdin in under 2 weeks. Most luck i have had in the past 20 year was insane.
