Diablo 2: Everything You Need to Know About

To be completely honest from the beginning of this article, there isn’t a game more daunting to play than Diablo II: Resurrected, especially if you’re just starting out in the world of role-playing games. Once the opening cinematic ends, there will be no guides that’ll help you throughout the game, there are no pop-up tips, and there aren’t any tutorials that’ll explain what you need to do.

This means that it’ll be quite difficult to play the game when you first start out, however, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t some tips & tricks that’ll help you. Luckily for all gamers that want to try Diablo II for the very first time, our list below could help. Here is everything you need to know before you start playing this particular and increasingly popular game:

1. Think About Your Playstyle Before Choosing a Class

Before you go ahead and choose a class that you’ll play with, it’s important that you consider your style of playing. After all, the build for each of them won’t always be what you’ve expected. This means that, for instance, a Paladin will act more like a caster of spells – the same can be said for the Assassin – while the Druid can act more like a tank than it does a caster. Of course, some of the things they’re lacking can be improved by leveling up, but, it won’t always suit your play style.

Hence, it’s probably better if you consider how you play role-playing games before choosing a class. Why? Well, it’s quite simple to understand, if you opt for a class that doesn’t suit your playstyle, you’ll have to try and make the class fit, which can be extremely daunting, especially if you’ve never played a game like this one before. Keep in mind, they’re, in fact, all good classes, but there are different types of players, thus, choose accordingly.

2. The Skill Calculator is There For a Reason

For me, one of the most difficult things that I tried – and failed – doing is to guess which skills could be the most suitable ones for any given class. However, the skill calculator is there for a reason, especially since it can help you understand your character’s skills better. Additionally, you should keep in mind, the calculator will do so much more than provide you with a template of how you can level up your character.

It’ll also tell you how the skills will transform once you’ve leveled them up. For instance, some damage characteristics won’t do more damage as the points gather up, instead, the duration might increase. Of course, you could find another player’s calculations and customize them since this will allow you to figure out what to do. Besides this, there are platforms that allow you to purchase certain things for leveling up or proceeding in the game, which leads us to our next point…

3. There Are Ways That You Can Level Up Quicker

Although a lot of gamers don’t realize it, there are specific ways that can help you level up quicker, as well as proceed in the game. Platforms such as gosugrind.com offer players a way to purchase items – such as weapons and armor – and the in-game currency which you can utilize for advancing in the game. Now, you should know, there is a wide range of such platforms, hence, before you actually choose one, make sure that you compare everything including what you can get and the price you’ll be paying for the items.

4. Always Build For The Late Levels

The first thing that you should know is that there are items that you can purchase for “ACT 1” merchants that’ll help you be successful in the game, however, the most crucial investments that you could choose to make are the ones that’ll work perfectly well while you’re at lvl 01, but that’ll also work well once you reach higher levels such as lvl 99. For example, farming builds can be suitable for several acts, nonetheless, any build will be during a particular period.

This is why you must, I repeat, must remember that the best builds are the ones that’ll work well in the later levels. After all, you’ll spend most of your time leveling up, improving your skills, and gathering equipment, which means that you must consider what will work well during that period. You won’t want to apply skills that will only work well until you reach lvl 25, thus, consider the later levels as well.

5. Defenses Are Crucial

You should know, not every character will be able to, for example, lifesteal like a Druid can or evade attacks like an Amazon. This is why you should remember that every single character that you can play with needs to have the max defense as their class category allows. After all, any build that doesn’t feature a max amount of 75 percent magic resistance won’t be worth it. Hence, ensure that you improve your defenses as soon as you can.

There is a wide range of vendors in the city that’ll allow you to purchase items that’ll help you improve your defense, however, most of these defenses have to be implemented right into the build you opted for. Additionally, every single class will have a distinctive type of defense available, and they also have ideals that you’ll have to follow. Thus, if you want to make sure that you succeed in the game, build up your defenses early on.

Conclusion

As we mentioned at the beginning of our article, Diablo II: Resurrected is one of the most daunting and complex games that you can choose to play if you’re just starting out with role-playing games. But, it doesn’t need to be like that, especially if you opt for following most or all of the tips & tricks we’ve mentioned in our list above.

Since you now understand what you’ll have to focus on, you shouldn’t waste any more of your time. Instead, if you’ve already purchased, downloaded, and installed the game, start it up and while keeping all of our tips in mind, enjoy the evergreen and vast world of Diablo II.
