Choose the Right Class

Start with Barbarian or Rogue - easiest to learn

Recommended Classes for Beginners:

  • Barbarian: High durability, simple mechanics, great for learning combat
  • Rogue: Versatile with ranged and melee options, good mobility

Avoid These Initially:

  • Necromancer: Complex minion management
  • Sorcerer: Squishy early game, requires careful positioning

📋
Complete the Campaign First

Finish the main story before diving into endgame content

Why Complete the Campaign?

  • Unlock all World Tiers (up to WT3)
  • Access to full skill tree
  • Unlock mounts and fast travel
  • Story rewards and unique items
  • Prepare for endgame mechanics

Estimated time: 20-30 hours

Focus Your Build

Pick ONE damage stat to invest in, not all of them

Damage Stats by Class:

  • Barbarian: Strength
  • Rogue: Dexterity
  • Sorcerer: Intelligence
  • Druid: Intelligence (Werewolf) / Strength (Werebear)
  • Necromancer: Intelligence
  • Spiritborn: Spirit

Why Focus? Damage bonuses scale additively - spreading stats thin weakens your damage output.

🛡️
Resistance Cap

Cap your resistances at 70% before moving to World Tier 3

Resistance Mechanics:

  • Each resistance caps at 70% damage reduction
  • All elements share the same resistance value
  • World Tier 3 increases enemy damage significantly
  • Resistance comes from gear, paragon, and potions

How to Cap: Equip gear with "+All Resistances" affixes. Aim for 70% before WT3.

💰
Salvage Wisely

Salvage magic/rare items for crafting materials

What to Salvage:

  • Magic Items: Veiled Crystals (upgrade currency)
  • Rare Items: Crafting materials and Fiend Roses
  • Legendaries: Extract aspects, then salvage

What to Keep: Items with good affixes for your build, unique items, and gems.
