Tips For Playing Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Builds Effectively In Season 8

Sorceress

Blizzard is very strong and safe, great starter build. Keep Blizzard up at all times to freeze and damage groups of enemies. Hydra is powerful but requires good gear. Teleport between hydras to quickly clear areas. FB/Meteor requires good gear and synergies to maximize damage. FB to crowd control then Meteor to finish groups. Lightning is very fast for farming with lower gear requirements. Chain Lightning between packs. 

Barbarian

Support barb provides valuable attack rating boost and recovery. Use warcries to buff party. Berserk is great for boss killing with its ignore targeting ability. Focus on life leech and damage. Goldfind barb is simple, just wield Magic Find gear and cleave through zones.  For Berserk, max Berserk, Natural Resistance, Increased Speed. 1 points in finds item for MF. Support barbs max Battle Orders and Battle Command. Berserker wants to be in the thick of it. Support barb stays back using shouts to buff party.

Necromancer

Bone Spear is safe and consistent for new players. Keep max number of spears out at all times.  +skills most important, then +bonespear/CE skills. Life/mana on kill key for survavility. Like +3 Necro ammy. Bone Spear maxed first then synergies. Summoner max Raise Skeleton, skeleton mastery. P Nova max Nova, then put points in curses.

Assassin

Lightning Sentry is fast farmer. Place full number of sentries then teleport through zones. Phoenix Strike is great boss killer with life leech. Focus on maxing fire skills for huge damage.  Sentry max Lightning Sentry first, max Dragon Flight for mobility. Phoenix max Fireball, Phoenix Strike, Strafe. Place full sentries then teleport through zones. Phoenix wants to be up close dealing massive fire damage.

Druid

Fire is efficient at clearing with synergized fire skills. Pillar of Fire for groups, then Firestorm. Wind provides safe tornado/hurricane damage. Tornado through mobs then hurricane. Shockwave is excellent team support for locks and crowd control.

Amazon

Lightning Fury is extremely fast and efficient at clearing all content with minimum gear. Maintain max distance while firing bolts.  You can focus on maxing Lightning Fury first for its amazing clearing speed. 1 point in Critical Strike is very useful as well. Prioritize +skills gear, +javelin/jav skills, critical strike chance, and attack speed above all else. Chance to cast Level 20 Lightning Fury on strike rings are amazing.
