Does level matter in Diablo 2?

Yes, character level matters significantly in Diablo 2 for Attack Rating (AR), Defense, and experience gain, but it's often less important than gear, resistances, and build efficiency, especially in later difficulties like Nightmare and Hell where players can enter with lower levels if well-equipped. Level differences affect hit chance (AR vs. Defense) and XP rewards, with penalties for being too far above or below monster levels, but strong builds can overcome lower levels, while poor builds struggle even with high levels.

What level should I be to fight Duriel in Diablo 2?

For Normal difficulty in Diablo 2, levels 21-25 are generally recommended for Duriel, but players often find success closer to level 23-24 with good potions, mercenaries, and smart tactics like using Town Portals. It's a significant difficulty spike, so gear, resistances (especially cold), and using an Act 2 mercenary (with a good weapon/aura) are crucial, with many Sorceresses relying on Firewall or Frozen Orb.
