What are your favorite non-standard builds? D2PK has made it possible for me to test out a lot of builds that were either too expensive on vanilla, or only effective in very certain scenarios, or could only be made with perfect/hard to obtain gear. Some of my favorites:
Infinity TS sorc
Infinity CB sorc
Poison arrow barbarian
Poison arrow/smite paladin
Bear zon
Maul bear druid
Firewall sorc
If anyone wants a rundown on (almost) any of these characters, ask and I just might post/message a brief guide.

CTA Bow/Poison Jav hybrid zon, super versatile, but not that strong here.

Not as offbeat as some of these builds, but telezons are actually very formidable here on d2pk.

My point is that there are a lot of builds you don't see often on vanilla because the gear is super expensive or hard to get because they don't get used for much else other than one offbeat build. And some builds that are only viable when you can get a perfect inventory. There are also some builds that were way more competitive on vanilla because it WAS harder for opponents to get perfect gear and inventory, so it was hard to beat them there. My wolfbarb on vanilla? Eating up most basic elemental casters AND bowazons. Here? Can't do much of shit. And i fuckin' LOVE wolfbarbs. so much ZOOOOM!
