Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (commonly abbreviated LoD) is an expansion pack for the popular hack and slash Action role-playing game Diablo II. Unlike the original Diablo's expansion pack, Diablo: Hellfire, it is an official expansion designed by Blizzard North.
More than a standard expansion, Lord of Destruction not only added content in the form of new character classes and an additional scenario, it also dramatically revamped the gameplay of the existing Diablo II for solo and especially multiplayer. As a result, LoD is largely considered a "must-buy" instead of only being an addition, making it a huge multiplayer success and one of the most successful expansion packs of all time.

Included in this game is the Assassin- a Warrior-Mage who is exceptional with both magic and melee, and a Druid, who can both summon Bears and Wolves to his side as he can turn into a wolf himself. This game continues the story of Diablo, with Diablo finally being destory in the last act of Diablo II(have I said Diablo enough?)- off in the far east Baal, the last living brother of the three most evil Demons to ever appear on Earth, strikes out at the Barbarian Camps protecting an immensely important object- the World Stone, that keeps the hordes of Hell out of our plane of existence. The game offers all new items, many of them class specific, as well as the ability to collect Runes to spell words in your socketable items, creating another level of depth in unique objects If you liked Diablo or Diablo II, you cannot go wrong with this expansion Learning Curve: Instant!
