Could u guys recommend me a starter/noob friendly build?

[matdoo]

I've tried this game for last 2 days but still couldn't decide a character to keep playing.
I've played psn/cold sorc, caster druid and bow amazon.
Sorceress and druid was not bad but I just didn't liked this play style (don't know play style become different at mid/end game but still.. ).
Bow amazon was fun to play. I enjoyed running fast and avoid things.
But I felt too squishy since I couldn't sustain life/mana to kill mobs and I was not sure if I could play this build at end game.

Since most of the guides at forum are outdated (as you can see English is not my first language. getting information is bit hard for me :s ), I want to hear your opinion.
Keep playing bow amazon is good idea? If so, how can I improve my survivability at early/mid game? (especially keeping life/mana)
If not, what is your recommendation to start this game with no problem?
Please leave your thoughts in the comments!

The totem necromancer guide and melee sorceress guides are in the process of being updated.

There's a new unholy caster paladin guide in the works, along with summon barbarian, and pure summoner necro. For now, I'd say try to stick with bowzon and improve on what you're struggling with (dodging attacks, kiting and controlling the enemies)

probably throw barb, with wolf stance he is quiet quick on the feet aswell and alot tankier with life and defense


Edit: especially with the possiblity to respec to summoner you have a strong alternative option that is "easy" to make work

It's really seldom that a guide stops working completely. Maybe it gets balanced i.e. less overpowered but not useless. Just pick something that is fun to you and commit to it.

I got 6% life stolen per hit and 1% mana leech+40mana on attack, but it seems doesn't work..
I'm using barrage with TU stagbow.
What am I doning wrong?

Mana on attack requires an actual weapon swing.

With a bow, you have missile damage, meaning you'll only benefit from % leech and mana/life on striking. On attack would be something that involves going into melee range and visually swinging your weapon at the enemy.

ah, so I have to focus on life/mana stolen instead of 'on attack'
Gonna try it, thanks!

the thing you are looking for is "striking"
