That is where I landed. When this hit I bought it had a blast reliving Diablo 2, and was reminded just how fucking good the game was compared to the dogshit that is Diablo 3. Then they talked about a new ladder and shit and I was like that could be fun. Then in Blizzard style they sat on their dicks for a year and now I couldn't care less.

Definitely connection issues with the game right now. Frustrating to be disconnected a few times, then get a message that you can't log in (and have to wait ~20 minutes). I think I managed to kill countess one time over four attempts that get cut short due to this. Frustrating!

It will be weeks, maybe even months before anyone hits 99. Baal, Diablo and Nihlathak are the only mobs in the game that give experience at 98. It's one of the worst grinds in gaming.

I was leveling Holy Fire but switched to Hammers starting in NM. It felt like it was falling off towards the end of normal especially act 5. Found myself struggling to kill packs there. But if you choose to stick with it get yourself a Steel runeword in a scimitar and Zeal away while Holy Fire burns them. FIrst max out Holy Fire, then Resist Fire and lastly Salvation cause they both synergies with holy fire.
I would suggest leveling hammers cause it’s easier imo and most mobs are not magic immune. You’ll encounter mana issues at first but putting two Tir runes in a helm helps out alot. Once I got Spirit and Lore runewords it made a huge difference. Hell you can invest one point into Redemption aura while leveling and mana issues are gone. Maxroll has a Paladin leveling guide I’ve been following there. It takes two respect for me cause I’m going Fist of Heavens. If you stay Hammers you may just require one respect. Once in my mid to late 60s I’m swapping to Fist of Heavens.

Playing Amazon. You can increase fire skill damage using red gems, which helps boost explosive arrow once you hit level 12. I've found 6(!) chipped red gems by level 12, now I just need to find some gem shrines...
Yeah, Llama just said that on his stream. I don't remember that at all back in the day. I had like 5 level 99s and I don't remember doing anything but cows to get there. Did they change that since 1.10?
Man my memory must be horrible lol. I played nonstop for a couple years but still, I'm questioning if I had that many 99s.

There's more higher level areas you can grind in that may be more beneficial to the "usual" spots depending on mob types/resists you're looking for.
Oh whew. I thought I was losing my mind. I would definitely have remembered grinding Baal for a month straight. Yeah I don't remember it being particularly hard to get to 99 back when I was playing.
