Diablo II was the game that shaped a large part of my childhood. I used to make weapons and armor from an odd assortment of things, and my friend did the same.

Hubcaps would not be very good armor against the Minions of Destruction. In fact, hub-caps are like Act 1 crap-noob armor, but hey, you try to do better!

The weapons pictures here are based on real weapons we made when younger. My friend is wielding a part of a wooden coat hanger. He's swing it around, and like a cop's baton, it could do some damage

2-8 dmg
one handed
fast attack speed

The weapon I am holding is a morning star flail. It was originally an old ax handle, and I attached an odd hollow ball with a chain. Within the ball I put marbles for added weight, and screws sticking out of it for added damage. The ball was odd, in that the holes you put in it would seal back up again (It was made out of some sort of odd, glow in the dark, stiff plastic).

8-18 dmg
one handed
slow attack speed
