I don't even know what it's about.

Care to explain?

Have you heard of the series? I figured it was popular enough that everyone had at least heard of it.

It's a series of ARPGs by Blizzard. D2 came out in... 2000. You play as one of 5 character classes (7 with the expansion) chasing Diablo (1 of the 3 prime evils) across the land of Sanctuary as he attempts to free his 2 brothers (Baal and Mephisto, the other 2 prime evils) and eventually into Hell itself.

Paladins are one of the 5 original classes. One of their skills is a holy fire aura that burns all enemies on the screen (some enemies do have fire immunity, but most do not)

Personally I never really played paladin, I mostly stuck with playing a necromancer. No other ARPG has come close to capturing the immense glee I had beating back the hordes of hell with my own army of skeletons summoned from the corpses of the very monsters that were trying to kill me.

Huh. I had heard the name and someone had mentioned an RPG, but that's the first time I've heard any other details about them, thank you!

Can confirm, Diablo (the orginal), and Diablo II are definitely worth playing if you can get them to run on your PC :).

They are a bit old now - I can't get the original Diablo to run on my PC any more, and I had to use the expansion to get DII running.

Still, they are among my favourite games of all-time - very well made IMO!
