10 Diablo 3 Tips For Beginners
- Save your Diablo 3 gold. Try not to spend gold on too many stash expansions as you will not need them. Items that are below level 60 should be sold to the vendor or on the Auction House. Also gold is kind of scarce in the beginning and it is not worth spending it on Blacksmith and Jeweler upgrades. Whenever you need something, buy it from the auction house. You can find videos and articles about this on http://diablo-3-tricks.com
- Disable forced move. This is one of those tips that most people fail to mention. For melee classes this is essential. Basically, moving around is performed by clicking and holding the button pressed. The main attack is binded on the same key. These two actions can be separated. Bind the move action to the Space button so that each time you click you will only attack. To move just press space. This method can prevent a lot of accidental monster pulls.
- Turn on advanced tooltips in the Diablo 3 settings. The game has this setting off by default. Without it there, the skill description will not tell you what rune is selected for it or what damage it does, making it difficult to choose between two of them.
- Turn on elective mode. Every new player will most likely have no clue about this setting. Basically it enables the player to use any skill in any slot. Without it, he will be limited to only one group to select from for a given slot.
- Get the right follower for your class. There are only two options: if you are a melee damage dealer get a ranged follower and vice versa.
- Damage is everything. If you are leveling, damage should be your main focus. Odds are you will not need to look at your vitality and resistances until you get to Act 3 of the Hell Difficulty but by then you should be close to level 60.
- Pick up every item that is not white. It is a good source of gold and vending them should provide a nice income for your character.
- Get more exp. Try to gather stacks of mobs together and kill them at once. The more you kill the higher is the exp bonus. The amount of exp bonus is not increased linearly but exponentially.
- Watch videos with various builds. There are millions of combinations possible with every character. Some skill tree builds work while others are totally useless. You might want to watch a few videos to understand the relationship between active and passive skills, the logic of a build and how you can make your own.
- Die less often. Death is a part of the game. You will die but if it happens too often, something is not right. Get a bit more HP and one or two defensive skills in your build. Just one small change can make a big difference and remember not to get the false impression that your character dies more often because it is weaker than the others. All of them are decently balanced.
These 10 tips should be enough to get things started and have a better view on why Diablo 3 is different and better when compared with its predecessor. There are already more than 7 million players in the World of Sanctuary and most of them had to learn the game the hard way but if you follow these tips, you'll most likely have less issues mastering your class and reaching the level cap.
