Yes it's a stressful mod :-)
Diablo 1 always was more challenging that its sequels though, only The Hell makes it even more! Diablo2 has great concepts and huge world but was cheesy. Diablo3 I did not even played it, too cartoonish for my taste :-)
I mostly played savage, berserker and executioner (I love barbarians!). Savage is disappointing, the boost in standard damage is not worthy compared to the loss of critical hits.
The berserker is my favourite overall. Axes are great again everything and he gets a natural boost in attack speed that is really powerful. No big downside in berserk.
Executioner is the most fun to play. You quickly get a super huge life regeneration, almost like your always on light health potion effect :-D
The only quest I couldn't finish so far is one in caves where you open a extra-dimensional portal after doing some code with statues and then goes to a level filled with strong archers (like the one you find in the levels more close to the end of the game). All my characters always are useless there because the arrows almost always hit you and have knockback effect. I didn't found a way to pass this quest.
I agree with your perks choice, that's what I go for at the beginning too.
EDIT: If you're looking for other good old isometric 2D diablo-like games, you should give Throne of Darkness, it's really fun too :-)
Ahh I used to play D2 vanilla a long time ago online.
D3 I haven't played and people say it's not good and doesn't have the experience like it has with older games.
My berseker just died on floor 16 purgatory. I find he has a big monster activation radius and also doesn't do well vs arrows as you mentioned. Also his DFE isn't very high so needs decent armor class and melee damage resistance. Apart from that he is decent with fast attacks.
Executioner used to be my favourite because of the high hp and regen but he has very low armor and can't tank 3 enemies at once which is a problem after horror mode lol.
I'm still playing TH2 and plan to finish this on Doom in ironman before moving on haha.
Yes it is very painful and dangerous haha. Just finished caves with my Guardian and almost died twice.
Once on floor 9 with familiar boss shooting firebolts and invisble demon boss at the same time.
Then floor 12 with cold and lightning projectiles at the same time lol.
Doom the original?
I remember playing Doom on this server called skulltag 10 years ago and that was fun.
What d1 mod are you playing at the moment?
Yes the original. I'm playing doom since 1993 :p
I stopped at doom3, they kinda lost the spirit that makes doom doom. And newer release are all about graphics, I don't find the gameplay fun and level design is crap (it's all about open space).
I'm playing a LOT's of mods :-D depending of my mood of the moment.For classic maps and doom style wads, this is the way to go:
But I love mods that are more atmospheric or with different universe. My favourites are:
Zbloodyhell and bloom (gothic style doom with blood spirit)
Alien TC (gameplay similar to AvsP 1999)
Wanna be Clint Eastwood? (high noon drifter + fistful of doom)
It is a good experience but also stressful!
I mostly play ironman. I tried out many perk builds and figured it is mostly toughness, swift learner, and educated.
What is your experience?
Yes it's a stressful mod :-)

TH2 in doom! HOLY COW! That's gotta hurt :-D
Good luck!
Older games are the best. I'm still mostly playing Doom/Duke/Diablo1 with a truckload of mods hehehe

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
And the 2 best ones I ever played:

So much blood in the brutal doom mods lol.
I do like the high noon version. Great music and map layout.
The alien one looks good. Has the suspense but the sound of the radio must get annoying after a while lol
I watched some speed runs of doom. Looks ridiculous haha.
If you like high noon drifter, you should definitely play it with the "Bastardos" mod for more maps ;-)
No problem. Just wondering as I'm still learning this game.
Tell me if there are any question I may answer ;-)
And congrats playing this game, it's my best Diablo experience so far, Diablo II included :-)
