I don't know.  Instead of rebuilding a Hammerdin 2+ times, I'd rather be trying other characters/skills/etc.

 

 

Same thing with those, you'll rebuild your first character at the bare minimum since you always need 1 character with which to farm items for others.  Well, except in my case when I decided to first make a summoner necro.  Oh the joys of the army of lag.  I remember in Baal runs people would ask me to only summon my Golem and didn't care I didn't do much damage.

About a month ago, a friend and I ran through cLoD using a pair of characters.  He was an Assassin.  I was a summoner Necromancer.  Maxed out skeletons and ton of +skills.  I think I had around 35 skeleton mastery or so by the end of our run.  Even Hell was a cake walk.

Anyway, after playing D2 for bunches of time... I find you really don't need that much to kill all the enemies, beat the game, and farm.  Now that I'm playing Median XL where the difficulty curve is roughly 50 times harder than cLoD (250k defense on my Barbarian still gets me high rough 40% by some normal mobs in Uberlevels), I really appreciate how easy regular D2 was.  You don't need a perfect build for cLoD.  Heck, you don't even need a great build.  It's that easy by comparison.
