This has been a treasure of a resource for me, as I kept fooling myself by trying to play a finalised build from the start of the game. Thanks for all the guide authorsā€™ work and I really hope this keeps being updated!

New guide

I decided to go back to posting updates here to bump the thread shamelessly since itā€™s not pinned anywhere directly.

Announcement!

The beginner guide will be separated into two parts / posts - with and without detail leveling (journeys).

This means you can make a thread with just a budget setup with some decent testing and no leveling whatsoever and have it listed in the 2nd post.

If you want to be 99% sure that your guide is placed in the 1st post and not the 2nd, provide character snapshots (GT links) of your character at various levels from playing Main Campaign.

Awesome, I wonder what you may come up with.
