I started playing Diablo 2 again

I have a character who is pretty much at the end of the base game but the difficulty is such that, even on the easiest difficulty, I always die to swarms of monsters before I can get anywhere close to fighting Diablo. I know it's doable because I beat the game once years ago, but I 'm just not very good because it gets overwhelming and I get frustrated and then bored having to do the same area over and over again just to die to the same enemies. It becomes super unfun because I'm someone who just wants to see new areas and experience the story, instead of having to constantly grind like this game seems to expect me to.

Maybe I should just find an online build that's as OP as possible, and play to that so I can actually have fun instead of getting frustrated.
