ok so i dont know anything about it. I read some of the beginner guides but its all jiberish to me.

What the cheapest/easiest character to make/play to learn about ladder slasher?

Need to know this also!

It really isn't that hard to figure out if you just try it. There is no "best" character, all depends on how you like to play.

there are lost of guides here:

don't be lazy and read some of them instead of waiting for a reply

Simply put:

Weapons = You want Enhanced Effect for dmg
Armor = You want Enhanced Effect (heavy / medium) for defense
Cast/Heal Charms = Enhanced Effect for either Healing or Dmg

Intelligence on items = More Cast / Heal effect
Strength / Dex on items = More dmg ... Note: some weapons are more effective with one or the other except Axes & Battleaxes

Heal Mastery on Items help you with healing if you are a pure healer.

Acc Slot... ONLY Enhanced Effect work for that slot, all other mods are ignored.

Enhanced Effect only works with the item they are on.
