- Blizzard Sorceress: Best for targeting Act Bosses (Andariel/Mephisto) and Ancient Tunnels due to native Teleport and massive cold damage.
- Hammerdin (Paladin): The most efficient, versatile builder with high damage against almost everything, reaching peak performance with Enigma.
- Summon Necromancer (Fishymancer): Extremely safe, requiring little gear to start, relying on Corpse Explosion for massive area-of-effect damage.
- Trap Assassin: Offers safe, fast clearing across all areas, utilizing Death Sentry for corpse explosion damage.
- Mosaic Assassin: Currently considered one of the best for high-density farming (Terror Zones) due to massive, screen-clearing elemental damage.
Tips for Solo Farming
- Teleport is King: Sorceress is best for beginners due to free teleport, while others need items with teleport charges or Enigma.
- Target Specific Areas: Farm act bosses (Mephisto) for uniques, or Cows/Chaos Sanctuary for runes and bases.
- Budget to Rich: Start with Summoner/Blizz Sorc for early, low-gear farming, then transition to Hammerdin or Nova Sorc for faster clear speeds as you find gear.
