Tips for ARPGs in General

This is my first time posting in any sort of forum so please correct me if I’ve done something wrong. That said, I’ve struggled to understand and get the hang of building characters, knowing what types of stats are good to have and what aren’t worth having, etc. Does anyone have any tips for learning how to make proper builds and what sorts of things I should be looking out for? I’m trying to avoid always following someone else’s build guide because it doesn’t teach me why certain things are effective.

This may help, though the compendium links are a bit outdated, but you can find those in the Classes section anyway.

Also have a look at the Game Guide

Thanks for the links! Maybe these will help.

Ask questions in builds threads. Not once have I seen a builder ignoring a question about his build, lol.
