I do have to admit that I have a slight advantage when writing this little piece. Granted, this expansion is several years old, but I do have the distinct pleasure of being one of the few outside Beta-testers for this game. From my Day One (which would make it about Day -90 for many other people), I knew this would bring new dimensions to this powerhouse game. Not only were the two additional classes well designed, but their skill paths actually made it more like 4 different classes instead. Adding a new level with even harder monsters to do battle doesn't make the leveling up with your character feel like weak or drawn out.
Diablo II Lord of Destruction is an expansion pack that does not let you down with muddled gameplay and ineffective character and monster design. It would have been nice if this were part of the original game, but then again, Blizzard has a penchant for not releasing everything out at once. This adds to the mystique and interest, not only with Diablo, but with just about any Blizzard game.
