 ::'''1UP: What are your "main" [[class]]es in [[Diablo II]]?'''
 ::'''Jay Wilson:''' My most developed was a [[Barbarian]]. Well, no -- actually, it's my [[Necromancer]]. While the Barbarian was what I played when the game came out, my Necromancer is all I really play now. He's in the 90s and has pretty much gotten everything he can get, so all I do is run around and kill things to see if something superawesome drops. But my Barbarian was my first class, and my Necromancer is my main. While I did play each class to take it to Hell difficulty, those two were my loves. I had a pretty cool [[Sorceress]], but I don't think I got her as high.
