Hey,
bought the game yesterday cause i was bored of PoE and D3. I’m looking through the forum now for like 1h and i can’t decide what is good to start with.
I’m looking for a beginner friendly guide with lvling tips and the possibility to farm later on the highest difficulty.
I prefer to play the Arcanist/Occultist/Shaman or something like a mage.
I hope you can help me, so i can finaly start playing this game 
Thanks for your respond.
Greetings Deserto

So, you want a caster build, specifically? If you want Channeling style, there’s Albrecht’s Aether Ray. If you want a spammy style, there’s Panetti’s Replicating Missile, or Blackwater Cocktail. If you’re looking for a few big hits, Trozan’s Sky Shards is along that line. To name a few, as there are MANY options. Check out the build compendium in the forums, and search for a build using whatever skill it is you want to use.
I want to play something ranged, dot, mage/necro, fun to play, looks awesome like build. Something channeling with dot/chaos dmg is that possible, or too much?
Check ultimate vitality caster in the compendum. Callidor tempest builds. poison DOT.
I think a build like this one right now is much simpler to put together from zero than trozan, or, god forbid, panetti. Listed gear is not required to make it work, you can pick some incendiary shoulders along the way, (empowered) molten walkers and a weapon like emp. blessed torch. Callidor codex. All accessible epics or MI. That should suffice for farming along with common yellow/green resist and hp gear.
In that case, the best suggestion I have would be a DEE Caster. Dreeg’s Evil Eye, you can either spam it, or you can treat it like a nuke, and use the Focused Gaze Transmuter. Either work, and there’s a lot of support for Poison in Devotions. Start with Occultist, pick up the entire DEE line, pick up Possession, and do whatever you want after that.
Will try the Dreeg’s Champion.
I don’t realy know what you are all talking about (skills,shortcut). Will try out this build and hopefuly i will understand the game more and more.
Thanks for your help.
This is the correct choice.
1-h+shield soldier (witchblade).
Sword 'n Board Battlemage. 
Not for a new player, No
Witchblade and Commando are hard to screw up
Even for End-Game Physical S&B BM is bad, aether however is decent
But Mindwarp is so sexy…
Arcanist is the way to go. Truly mage style. I guarantee the fun and easy with eye candy skills.
You can play a single mastery until lv around 50 then you’ll have experience and know yourself enough to decide what 2nd mastery would be.
Possibility from arcanist-based to farm later is overall good. You may learn from others by playing multiplayer when you’re going to ultimate. You’ll see new builds and new ideas.
I’d honestly say that the easiest class to level up of those three, would be an Occultist.
Dreeg’s IS The Great Leveler.
Yes, pun.
