If you had to start over

Suppose you had to start from scratch.

What would be your first class?
How would you level?
What would be your first goal?

Paladin.

I did start over more than once. :nerd_face:

With current state of the game and my experience with it at this point I could just roll a dice.

Do a campaign on normal. Actually no, I would do it on veteran for some cheap bragging rights. But normal is more efficient methinks.
Then Elite ofcourse.

Revered with all factions.

Well recently played multiple vitality casters and I know that Dark One can be target farmable so will roll Ritualist/Cabalist and will start leveling with RE. Ravenous earth as skill is good enough to carry me in normal/elite quickly, until I start to find legendary gear for my next characters. Also will do quests for reputation with Malmouth to get to revered and buy few exp potions.

Started over numerous time, as well.
Just to try new masteries, skills and devotions out, without using a tool like GrimTools.
(Nothing against GT, but it only shows me numbers, it can’t tell me how it will feel.)

So…

  1. Closes eyes and clicks the mouse until I hear something “take”, plays whatever RNJesus gives me
  2. By killing everything. Okay, everything that doesn’t kill me first. Veteran difficulty.
  3. Getting that damned “I Was Not Expecting You, Human” achievement (A gal can dream, right?)

@maya: Have you tried a ghoul / bone harvest hybrid with that 2H skele scythe thing

13

I haven’t. The viability of pet hybrids aside, I like to make my ghol builds to have max CDR for Blightfiend “spam”, so not using an off-hand is a dealbreaker.

14

What about m. death’s reach? 2H vit weapon with 16% cdr.

No pet bonuses though

EDIT: But it’s BiS for 2H Bone harvest builds

15

That could work, but there is still the question of whether it will be viable. You are essentially getting a weaker build.

16

Well, THAT’S a surprise. :wink:

Perhaps I would even try Vitality. Perhaps. :joy:

Or just a lazy Pet Build to farm Bloodrager´s for my other toons after that.
