You want armor with EE if none available use a str armor with swords. Don’t prioritize items because they have life on them unless it has enhanced effect as well. You only get the benefits from first in slot charm not the second one. So people will put their EE spell in second slot and primary charm slot with plus strength.
Also want weapons with EE as well. Happy slashing. :thumbsup:

fighter is good also
look for items with ee, str, dex, magic luck to use or sell
white items over level 30 sell
any item over level 45 sells on mp
check the guides, check marketplace, ask questions
get ee weapons and upgrade every 10 levels, just keep killing!

Vouch this. If you use swords and tank armor with str charms, barb gives the best starting stats in regards to strength and vitality.

I am guessing you are solo playing mostly and not in a group.

Sometimes you come across a Well in your catacomb at level 1-10, I personally like dropping Tier III / IV items in to it. Thing is, I normally use + xxx Max Life items from level one(1) [normally armor + Main slot charm with an Enhanced Effect weapon]

Examples (the items are not easy to find or cheap [depending on seller] I only use Heavy weapons, but they have a slower attack speed): NOTE: Choose any weapon type you like, I just like heavy weapons.

Legendary bronze plate mail (Tier III)
Physical Defense: 9 to 29
Magical Defense: 0 to 3
+6% Enhanced Effect
+15 Dexterity
+164 Max Life

+1 Extra Equipment Slots
+1 to 11 Mana per Kill
+3% Mana Syphon
+1% Earth Mastery

Arcane lightning III = Not usable on my Guardian, so I only use this from Samurai + (Longsword / Warhammer)
Spell Damage: 3 to 32
+12 Strength
+147 Max Life

+1% Life Steal
+2% Mind Numb
+1% Fire Mastery
+2% Lightning Mastery
_____________

These are the weapons I use, as you can see I use different kinds class specific and switching for low Prof points:

Magical bronze longsword (Tier III)
Damage: 15 to 158
+53% Enhanced Effect

Rare elm warhammer (Tier III)
Damage: 32 to 145
+60% Enhanced Effect
+1 Dexterity

Magical bronze spear (Tier III)
Damage: 64 to 113
+53% Enhanced Effect

Godly bronze battleaxe (Tier III)
Damage: 60 to 72
+15% Enhanced Effect
+204 Max Life

+260 Max Mana
+1 to 3 Life per Kill
+2% Damage Return
+3% Armor Pierce
+1% Parry
+1% Fire Mastery


Note: Early levels are easy, even if you have a charm with +2xx max life in main slot, you can use an Enhanced Effect weapon and a Stat armor from level 1 - 10 as long as they are Tier III items... of course you can switch for level 5 (Tier IV) items and so forth.

Goodluck and have fun... my post is just pointing out what can be used, it is all up to you.

Awesomesauce! Just slash like heck, and you'll find good starter stuff. I try to put most of the low-mid range things I find on the MP for newer players to use for 1 fg. Good luck man, and always have fun.
