The Green Goblin

Origin Story

After over 20 years, I recently came back playing D2.
While leveling my Ama, I was lucky enough to grab a

Vampire Gaze during a run. She lacked some strenght so I continued leveling some more until she finally was strong enough to wear it. The nostalgic expectations instantly faded when seeing it on her.
Even the chickens ran away in disgust. My Ama was even more clear. "What the fück!", she complained. "I can't go outside looking like that!"
She was clearly very sad. Emilio was less picky and offered that he could put it to good use, which he did.

Later that night, the ugliness still haunted me. The seed was sown and the Green Goblin was born...

Yes, beacause you couldn't see much details.

OP - Indeed, it looks ugly on Amazon. It spoils the beautiful face. If you were a Necro it could do it.

In comparison a

Shako actually does not look that bad...

The Plan

With the helmet slot of my Green Goblin obviously being set, the next 2 big questions were:
1. Which character to choose and
2. Which armor to wear

The character options pretty quickly went down to Barb vs. Pala.

The search for the best armor for my Green Goblin build took some more time.

Leviathan was strongest contender for a long time. While I was still not sure whether to actually make this (absolutely stupid) build - it was late in season and on ladder after all - the RND Gods gave me a sign and droppen Lemplar's Might.

After looking at pictures of Barbs and Palas in green suits for what must have been weeks, my final choice fell on the Barb. Reasons included playstyle (to be discussed later) but my main reason was: Green Goblin needs no shield! Nor does he use a big weapon! Dual wielding daggers I found acceptable though. I also considered double throwing oil potions, which I quickly discarded after a very brief test.

Driven by aesthetics only, the Green Goblin (with Templars) build now looks like this: For reference, this is the slightly different look with

Leviathan: Another piece of gear was non-negotiable. I never had more reason to kill

Nihlathak than on the day I made these

Boots: And here he is! The Green Goblin proudly awaits jumping into action...

I considered Necro, too. But green full armors look much better on Pala and Barb. At least if you want to make a character that looks like the Green Goblin.

True that.

And despite my main character being a sorc and having no other gear, I refused putting a green towel on my head!
So imagine how I felt when having to look am my poor Ama...

I am still undecided if a

Nightwing's Veil or a

Harlequin Crest looks worse on my Sorc...

I'm pretty sure that

Vampire Gaze looks even worse but I have never seen a Sorc wear it for some reason.

Flickering Flame

Demon Head FTW!

So who is going to make the Red Spiderman build?

The purple Power Ranger may be interesting too.

I was lucky enough to see OPs Green Goblin Barb in action, leaping around, looking awesome, and being VERY green.

Great idea, executed with love for details.

I don't think I would level a Barb that high just so he can wear Templars Might and look green though
A clear lack of dedication on my part^^
