Necromancers are masters of summoning, bringing fourth bands of undead warriors and golems to fight at their behest. The Paladins skills focus on Auras that either protect or enhance their abilities as well as their allies. Each of the five classes has a skill tree of possible skills, no two of which are alike. There are five different character types in Diablo II: the Barbarian, Necromancer, Sorceress, Amazon, and Paladin.
While the overall feel of the game is familiar there are several significant differences - the two you‘ll notice first are the character classes and the way skill advancement works. Other missions include recovering lost or stolen items from dungeons and crypts, finding arcane items and ingredients, and destroying the demonic minions that infest the land. You even get to visit the now destroyed town on a mission to rescue one of the townsfolk. The first act centers on an Amazon camp near Tristram (the town originally featured in Diablo). Basic movement and attacks are virtually unchanged and while the graphics are greatly enhanced, they retain the flavor of the original game. The gameplay in Diablo II is very similar to the original fans of Diablo are going to feel at home almost immediately.
