A hunter's a fairly common choice for starting off I'd say and for
good reason.  They're a more forgiving class.  If nothing else, if
things go bad, you've usually got a 30 yard head start on many mobs
you might want to run away from.  ; )
With your pet to tank mobs and keep them off you and your ability to
heal them and to damage the mob, you've got all the basics of party
play right there by yourself.
Of course, hunters have developed a bit of a bad rep.  Because they
can be so easy to solo with, some hunters don't really learn team play
and when they get to stuff that does need a full party of 5 people to
complete, they can screw things up.  And thus the references to
"huntards".  But a well played hunter is a joy to behold.  They can
keep just about any mob out of the action by "chain trapping" them,
use their pet to do damage, or to rescue some squishy mage, and they
can do a hell of a lot of damage once they're geared up and have a
good shot rotation going.

OMG!

My friend Caal told me about this post but interestingly I was due to
stop by and say hello.

OH! OH! OH! You saw Tazmaniaq? Ok I am putting Solosurly on my friends
list and will at least say hello to you. My others are Joemamma and
Zamqinyzyn. And my wife is playing as well and we are making a life of
it when we get the chance.

Hunter, just like Ash says a very good choice.

And just to let you know that warriors for the most part have a
different role in this game, more to keep the monters off of the
others and focused on them.

The game does take a long time to learn. Been at it for one year and 3
months now and I am happy with what I learned. There is still some
more to learn. Like you said one can get lost.

But just do whatever you want to do. If your playing partner decides
he likes WoW then great. If not and you still play D2, hey that is
great too. It's great to have a close alliance with some whilst
playing. If you guys like both WoW and D2 and manage to find the time
then bravo to that also.

If you make it to level 22 or 23 before your trial expires maybe we
can get a group together for your first dungeon experience - The
Deadmines. Actually there is even one that you can hit earlier at
about 20 or less called the Wailing Caverns. I have a level 20 that
can go there and I think my wife might have one that she can level a
little more to go there. We are pretty much playing in an area that
approaches the current final phase but perhaps with the holiday weeked
coming up we can make some plans to send our lower characters to hit
the Caverns with some of the other guildmates. A party of 5 is the
composition for these journeys.

We shall talk some more Art.

OH! OH! OH!
