Game looks interesting. Feel like hacking and slashing til D2R launches.
Any character suggestions for a rookie?
Weapons to look out for?
What I should be looking/doing in general?
Thanks

personal preference for me is start with a rogue, axes or daggers as your weapon, scale armor, dex charm. items with higher "enhanced effect" will greatly help your speed in killing the mobs.


... 57 posts on an '08 account, + 44k fgs?? hmmm i sense a possible 08 multi/gold mule... just my observation..

Appreciate the advice.

Appreciate the guess as well; but no.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

just give it a shot and see if you like it

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=84489168&f=74 my own mage guide, Higher damage than barb so progress feels faster but will be a lot of shrining/afking for mana.
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82660445&f=272 - Barb guide i recommend this one

For rogue then basically get vitality upto 60, put points into dex until level 35, then rest into vitality.
Use Dex charms, level 0 - ~10-15 dex, level 15 ~20-30 dex, level 30-55 ~35-40 dex
Use EE leathers or scales ~ lvl 0 40+ ee, level 10 60+ ee, level 20 ~80+ ee, level 30/35 ~80+ee, level 40/45 ~80+ee, level 50/55 ~100+ ee
Use EE Staffs or daggers ~tier 3 40+ ee, level 5 ~50+ ee, level 10 60+ ee, level 15 70+ee, level 20 70+ee, level 25 70+ee, level 30/35 80+ee, level 40/45 80+ee, level 50/55 100+ee

Guardian - Not recommended
Fighter - Same as the barb guide, generally not recommended as barb having 20 more useful stats is generally considered better than the faster charge time on powerstrike.

Thank you!! I think im going to start with a Barbarian guide.

Can you elaborate a bit on what I read prior on a Fighter build.. someone said if I use a Longsword - to put all points into strength. May I ask why?

Anyways, I think I'll just follow this barb guide.

Each weapon have their own ratio of dex/str for more damage:
