Returning Player

Hey everyone… I saw an ad for Crucible, bought it, and just came back to GD.

I have a level 51 dreegs eye occultist or something who must have quit after killing the Warden on the second difficulty. I logged in and went across the bridge to the second area and just could not get by the junky little trash mob riflemen.

I guess, without getting too indepth…

Would you guys suggest making a new character and relearning the game?

Or should I go back to normal difficulty or something to try and farm gear?

I’m just unsure how this game works in the transition between difficulties. It seems nearly impossible to continue the occultist from where he is at the moment.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for the droll question.

Any poison build = easily walk at any difficulty, poison are stupidly strong, have tons of good stuff & devotion.
You must not worry against anything, once you pick up poison - you already win.

I’m not just walking through it though, which is my point… I don’t know if I am just being bad and rusty or if I should go backwards and catch some levels and gear somewhere.

Go back to Veteran, farm some stuff. But more importantly explore the entire map.
This helps in later difficulties (except Valbury, you’ll get lost there no matter what :rolleyes:)

EDIT:

I suggest this guide for reference

Thank you very much… sorry about that. I’m sure it’s something that is asked constantly.
