Follow aerial's barb guide. Get all charms. Then do whatever build you feel like. Lot of homebrew builds out there that can farm specific areas faster than aeriel's barb but cant get all charms like aeriel's barb can (in only t6 gear by the way...)

Until then he can go runemaster and have defense and life to farm these things. He can always respec once he gets the items. It's a starter build.


oh. well yea. I would never recommend gladiators at lvl 90. I was under the impression you were talking about later on towards 10-15 charms

Thanks for the help guys.

So I started a Barb, found the Earthquake skill really useful, got to 20 and...kinda the same thing lol.

Then I saw this Bowdruid...wiping everything out in Act2. Looked really fun, he had summons and was using a bow, I might try that tonight

earthquake will drop off later on a bit because it doesn't have the same hit frequency or aoe consistency like other skills will, but its not bad. just need to position strategically.

bow druid is decent. the summons are buggy though, only really useful through hatred. they don't receive minion stats properly, so they die very often later on due to no resist and low life.

My advice would be to start with 1 character and make that work and olay it to thw end game.

If you are swapping character everytime you get stuck you will allways get stuck :)

there should be plenty of guides and things to search and read somewhere on this forum that talks about a lot of that. check around or join the discord channel too.

Treewarden in thorn strike+idol with massive fire dmg by wildfire. Wipe your feet on the normal and horror of everyone, and the bosses fall for 1-10 thorns. Then you dress and continue to wipe your feet in hell. Pleasant for a beginner due to fat, priority of strength% = equip; +some vitality%. Main skill non target, don't need mana. Perfect gameplay for greend = 1-2 skills (all time use MotW(60sec) and Idol on Mouse2) and thorn strike on Mouse1(wildfire with fat bosses or immune). Forgives many mistakes, Absolutely not picky about things.

Mele sorc - fire/poison, light/poison.
Very nice things(TU Armor req Dex with +Str and Dex, TU sword req Dex +dex, TU shield with str+dex) supporting each other at an early stage, do not puzzle where to invest points, just dex. self-attacking attack, thick servants swords, steep retaining passives. Thanks to FUSILLADE in the mid game and late game, we stop being clean mele, incredible damage. Absolutely not picky about things, just use griwold box.

Ama Pounce with items from grisolwd gox and Wolf Dru - Nice teleportAOE main skill, druid more demanding to equip, 1-12 lvl very slow, low dmg on solo fat target(Great Hunt>>Twisted claw). Ama more save to the passive(armor from lioness, balance +fhr and speed+ slow enemy), dru have meat shield. At 90lvl ama have nice boost for dmg/hp and dru too.

Assa with crucify and shadow refuge for fast 120lvl

Paladin for lovers using many buttons.

Barb king among the first characters, just feel the simplicity of gameplay and the synergy of skills.

For hardcore it is contraindicated to be a melee, because there is always something capable of killing with 1 hit.
The summoner(barb, necr(minions/totems/hybrid) is the easiest, then range(barb>necr>dru>ama>assa), then mele, although it's always worth playing for someone you like, no matter how many times you die :) Casters at lvl of range, maybe better.
