    I usually start with Sorc but thinking of trying something different... maybe a hammerdin since I have never made one and can respec into auradiin after I find some runes/gear.

    What are you all planning to start the new ladder with (and why, if you want to say)?

    It's best to start with the sorc so you can have teleport + battle orders with a barbarian, so you can easily move through normal Nightmare and Hell and have saved waypoints.

    Best/fastest may not always be the most fun though... having played this game since it first came out, I like to occasionally mix things up.

    you cant start with hammerdin you need meditation aura (ral tir tal sol) in your merc as well as keeping him alive or you will have mana problems most of the time
    respec later into auradin is a fault
    you need to start holy fire and than respect into holy shock like when you are 30+ level
    did my test as well as going back to holy fire which in this case with all maxed synergies at level 60 it was just useless when fighting councils at travincal (nightmare) compared to the insane dmg that you get from holy shock
