Hi everyone. seems like this community is still thriving so I'm giving it a shot.

I've been playing D2 since about the time it came out but I never put any time into online play and I don't intend to. I have also only ever completed the game on Normal difficulty. What usually happens is I pick up the game after a while of not playing, beat it with a character on normal, then wash, rinse, and repeat.

Only until recently I decided to play the game through nightmare difficulty, and to my surprise it was insanely difficult but I did end up beating it. Now I want to push through hell difficulty, but this is where I need some help.

I've been watching all kinds of videos and I don't think getting through hell is anything close to feasible. Here's the details of my character:

Level 61 bowazon. Strength 106 Dexterity 151 Vitality 125 Energy 35

I focused immolation arrow up to level 7 which was my primary source of damage. Valkyrie only level 2 so can't do much for tanking anymore. Got dodge/avoid/evade all up to around 50%.

I plan on re-specing prior to starting Hell play through but unsure what to put my arrow skills to. I know I will put around 20 into Valkyrie for tanking, and probably get critical strike and pierce around 50%. Also planning to put a lot into penetrate for attack rating.

Items are all pretty standard single player play through items. I have basically no life/mana leech. All I have are some items and perfect skulls that give replenish life and regenerate mana which don't seem to do much.

The ultimate question is what do I need to do after re-specing? I know I want to find life and mana leech but don't really know how other thank hunting, hunting, and more hunting.

One last thing, I want to keep this all single player and offline.

Thank in advance for your responses!
