ACT I . +++++++++++ -------------------- - Fallen Star - -------------------- - ( BASICS ) - Fallen Star ---------------------------------------------------- . You will start out with a basic weapon depending on what type of Character you have selected. Left Clicking will do almost everything. + Click a portion of the screen to move your character. + Click a monster and a sword icon will appear to attack it. + There is a key tab at the bottom of the screen. This will teach you the hot keys for things such as; - Inventory - Skills - Quests - Acheivements + There will be buttons keyed which are numbers, 1-4. You will assign skills to these slots later. + Right clicking will also assign one more skill slot. + The Q button or the potion icon will let you drink a healing potion. ----------------------------------------------------- 1. The Game is pretty cut and dry especially at this point. Run over to the marker and meet Captain Rumford. 2. Defeat the undead with basic first skill attacks. 3. Talk to Rumford, then once inside Talk to Leah at the Slaughtered Calf Inn. 4. Zombies will spawn in the Inn. Kill them with first skill attacks. You should then level up at this point, which will give you your first SECONDARY skill. 5. Talk To Leah Then go outside and meet Rumford again. Make your way to Old Tristram Road. There are 3 "wretched" zombies we must kill for Bonus XP. Then we also have to find the Cemetary. Markers will not show the Wretched Mother zombies. 6. I suggest searching the old tristram road, and getting used to fighting monsters plus looking for the wretched monsters. Once you get all 3 just follow your marker to the cemetary and Kill the New "purple" type enemy which is the wretched mother. 7. Finally from that point you will find a way point. the games first way point. Use it and go back to tristram. 8. This Will Complete the Quest # 1. ======================================================== ------------------- - Legacy Of Cain - ------------------- 1. Back in Tristram, talk to Leah, she will then follow you. 2. Take the way point back to the Cemetery. Leah will then open the gate to a new path way. 3. You will find Adria's Hut, inside will be a cellar. click it and go inside of the cellar. 4. Once inside, run towards the cauldron. A purple lettered monster will appear as Captain Dalton. He will be accompanied by other zombies. Destroy them all, using your resorce attacks first, then basics. Rinse and repeat that tactic to win. 5. Talk to Leah again and receive a partial quest reward. 6. Leave the hut and make your way towards the Cathedral. This is the next marker point, once inisde the dungeon will be completley random. There will be no marker to tell you where to go, unless you are right near the exit. 7. Best advice in dungeons is to be quick, but your surrondings and use the map. This may speed up the process of the random dungeon maps. 8. Once you make your way through all the enemies, and do eventually find the marker, go inside it. This will lead you to cain and a short cut scene. 9. Cain will open up a secret age, follow him outside and don't forget to pick up the chest that spawns once in a while. Take the way point to tristram, this will complete the quest. ------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================= --------------------- - A Shattered Crown - --------------------- 1. Once back in Tristram, follow marker over to the blacksmith Haedrig. Follow him into his cellar. 2. Smash open the door and kill all the zombies inside. Meet his wife and she will turn into a zombie. You then must defeat her. After this is done receive a mini- quest reward. 3. Haedrig will tell you the gates are now open to the weeping hollow. Follow marker outside to the next area. From there make your way to the Cemetery of the Forsaken. 4. Once at the Cemetery there will be three Defiled Crypts. Only one of them leads to the Shattered Crown so you may have to explore them all. 5. Once you find the correct crypt it will lead you to Defiled Crypt level 2. There will be a mini-boss here, a giant lurking creature. After beating him Head to the Chancellor's tomb. 6. Defeat all the enemies inside, then head to the crown touch it and the Chancellor will appear. Destroy him. Touch the marker and you will learn the town portal spell. Use it and head back to Tristram. 7. Talk to Haedrig, have him restore the crown and complete the quest. =========================================================== --------------------------- - Reign of the Black King - --------------------------- 1. Head Back to the giant door at the Cathedral. Go inside and we will have the first big dungeon ahead of us. 2. Starting off at Cathedral level 2, we will have to find level 3. In level 3 you will meet a Knight. Save him then restore him of his armor and weapons. The Knight will then follow you. He will also Accompany you throughout the entire journey. You may equip the Knight, who is actually a Templar. 3.After saving the Templar, we must find Jondar and destroy him. There will be random maps so explore the entire area. Once you find Jondar destroy him then Head to Cathedral level 4. 4. From Level 4, we must find the Royal Crypts, So do so and then finally Enter the Royal Crypts which is a non-random based part of the game. 5. Once in the Royal Crypts make your way to the center of the area. Leoric will appear and then summon a bunch of undead at you. Destroy the four barriers to continue onward. 6. Make your way through either the left or right door. Then head through the center pathway and make one final left. You should see a giant ornate door. Open it. This is the games first Boss, The Skeleton king leoric. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SKELETON KING LEORIC ++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Leoric Can be tough, especially on harder difficulty levels. Hardcore mode could be a nightmare as well. Although like most bosses he is very susceptible to stun. 2. Several skills can stun enemies, such as stun grenades of the demon hunter, or caltrops. Barbarian bash ability can also stun and is probably the most effective way of taking out Leoric. 3. Leoric may teleport from time to time which can make things a bit more of a hassle. The major difference in this Diablo game compared to others is keeping on your toes. 4. Your going to have to pay attention and dodge often, this game takes a quite bit more button skill then its predessesors. 5. After defeating Leoric, head down to the desolate chamber. Meet the Stranger and head back to tristram to complete the quest. =========================================================== =========================================================== ------------------------- - Sword Of The Stranger - -------------------------- 1. Way point to the cemetery of the forsaken. From there head north and go into the Fields of Misery. Once in the fields we must find the Khazra Den which is a random location. 2. I suggest farming the fields for xp and possibly drops. There will be larger amount of rare monsters here then in other areas of the game. 3. Once you find the den, it is very small. Disrupt the cultist ritual and kill them. Maghda will appear and summon more cultist. Finish them off then pick up the glowing shard. 4. Return it to Cain in Tristram to finish the quest. -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- - Broken Blade - -------------------- 1. Next we have to go back to the Fields of Misery. There will be marker points here to make things easier. Find your way to the Old Mill, and meet the Scoundrel. 2. Assist him with his troubles and he will then your party as a follower. Bring him to the way point near the Drowned Temple. 3. Go to the next marker and talk to Alaric. He will give you two more marker points. This brings us to the Festering Woods. 4. The woods are small and it is a decent place to farm. There will be a good amount of rare/unique enemies here. There are also 2 locations that we must go to and retrieve keys to enter the drowned temple. 5. The two pieces will be in the Warrior's rest and the Crypt of the Ancients. Go to both, destroy the enemies inside and then town portal back to town. Use the waypoint back to the Drowned temple to save time. 6. Place both beacons on the pedastal, this will open the temple. Go inside and Kill The Prophet Ezek and his followers. 7. Talk to Alaric again and he will tell you of your worthiness. Go inside the chamber and meet Maghda again. Destroy the Cultist then pick up the next shard piece. 8. Head back to Tristram to complete the quest. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- - Doom In Wortham - ----------------------- 1. Back in Tristram, talk to the ferryman, to the west of the Map. This will fast travel us to Wortham. It will be under attack by many cultist. Head to the middle of the map. 2. Kill the head cultist, then 3 magic Dark Beserkers will spawn. Kill them then talk to the Priest. 3. Go into the wortham Chapel which is still on fire. Look for the sword hilt and you will find it to be gone. Maghda has not only taken the hilt but your friends as well. 4. Fast travel back to tristram. Watch a great cut scene and complete the short quest. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ - Traling the Coven - ------------------------ 1. A Long but fun and exciting quest. There will be another boss battle here. Also a ton of unique enemies and exp to be gained in general. 2. Fast travel back to Wortham, then head North west towards the marker. Follow the marker down into the caves near an old hermit. Go inside the caverns. 3. The Caverns will be random and filled with arachnids. Explore the entire area if you wish, or speed through it to the exit, depending on your level and gear. There once again will be a boss so you may want to change skills in town before the battle. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Spider Queen, Aranae +++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. The Spider queen has 3 phases. You can only damage her so much until she runs away, then goes into her next phase. 2. All phases are basically the same. She will go hide, spiders come out to attack you, you kill them, then you attack her again. 3. Rinse and repeat this tactic 3 times to win the battle. ------------------------ 4. After the fight, use the pool of venom to free the woman in the web. She will tell you about the Kharza staff which is in another random location. 5. As a warning there will be a large amount of fighting with goat men and the like here. You may die, so hardcore players especially be prepared before this section of the game. 6. After finding the staff, monsters will spawn near the cart of its location. Destroy them then the marker point will appear. 7. This is the camp or base of the goat men. There will be a large amount of goat men , wasps and unique enemies, once again be prepared. 8. Follow the Marker Through more enemies on the way to Leoric's Manor. Once in the Manor destroy more large groups of enemies until you reach another Ritual and Maghda. 9. Disrupt the ritual and talk to the villager that is dying on the ground. Go outside to the check point and complete the quest. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------------------- - Imprisoned Angel - --------------------- 1. Another really long quest, which is basically the final quest of ACT I. Get ready for some awesome ! 2. From Leoric's manor, enter the Halls of Agony Below. The dungeon once again random. Make your way through the heat, to level 2 Halls of Agony. 3. From Level 2, go through some more random dungeon maps. Make your way to the Highlands age. 4. The Highlands age will have a check point. Use it but beware of the Wasps enemies guarding the checkpoint. Kill them then follow your marker to the Cursed Hold. 5. In the Cursed Hold, Talk to Queen Asylla. She will ask you to free SIX servants. There will be markers but also a ton of skeleton and bloated enemies, as well as certain rares/unique monsters. 6. Follow all markers then face a larger Mini-Boss, which is the warden. 7. The Warden is susceptible to stun, so use it if possible. The battle is one of the easier boss encounters so don't worry to much. After the battle head to the marker Which will lead us back outside, then to the Halls of Agony Level 3. 8. We are nearing the end of the long dungeon at this point. Be sure to explore and look for the check point or way point here, just to be sure. If you have to leave your game you can restart here later. Although, to farm the Butcher over and over, you must start at Halls of Agony level 2. 9 Finally make your way to the Chamber of Suffering and do Battle with the First BIG boss. The Butcher. --------------------------------------------------------- =================================== ....The Butcher... ==================================== 1. The Butcher is Susceptible to stun, although towards the end of the battle, things literally heat up. The Floor will start raising flames that can do high damage to your avatar. This is a bit of a challenge but also fun. It requires a bit of skill. 2. There are two health fonts in the upper left and upper right corner of the chamber. Use them wisely, and they will refill after a period of time. 3. Knowing this the key is to Dodge the flames. Keep on attack the butcher, and using health potions and the Health fonts when necessary. 4. Once you take him out, go to the Desolate Chamber. Disrupt the ritual and talk to the Stranger, give him his sword and he will tell you just who he actually is. ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- - Return to New Tristram - ----------------------------- 1. After the Butcher battle, chat with the exclamation points. Then talk to the Caravan leader and head to ACT II. 2. Congratulations on beating ACT I !! ========================================================== ========================================================== ========================================================== +++++++++++++ . ACT II . +++++++++++++ -------------------------- - Shadows In the Desert - -------------------------- 1. Make your way to the Bazaar via marker points. Talk to Asheara, then head outside to the Sundered Canyon. Beware of the Wasp enemies they shoot out mini wasps that do tons of poison damage and are hard to dodge. There will also be Lacuni enemies. You may die here HARDCORE players BEWARE !!!! 2. Towards the end of the Canyon there will be a wall. The Enchantress that is now following us will reveal the dark cultists. This can be rough to so be careful. After beating them you will run into the Iron wolves. 3. Assist the Iron wolves against the Laccuni. 4. We have to disrupt two rituals now. There will be no visible marker, although the enchantress will show us footsteps in the sand. Follow them to each ritual. Destroy the enemies in both then head to North West point at the bridge. 5. The Enchantress will you as the final follower at this point. She will then help us cross the bridge. 6. This will complete the Quest. -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- - Road to Alcarnus - -------------------- 1. Cross the Bridge and then make your way to the Khasim Outpost. Follow the main road to discover it being blocked. 2. There will be no marker once again, although most of the time if not all head northwest to find another entrance to the Khasim outpost. You will have to cross the Stinging winds to complete this task. 3. Once at the outpost Talk to Lieutenant Vachem. he will tell you to find Captain Davyd. Go down into the cellar and you will find Maghda yet again. Slay the disguised enemies then free the captain. Once outside there will be more enemies disguised as guards. Destroy them Then speak with Captain Davyd. 4. He will open Khasim Outpost gates to the east. this will complete the quest. -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- - City of Blood --- ------------------- 1. Reaching the half-way point of the act, we will have another Boss fight here. Start off going through the east gate at Khasim Outpost. 2. Make your way south to Alcarnus. Once in Alcarnus there will be a bunch of cultist. Follow your marker, slay the cultist and free the caged prisoners for bonus exp points. 3. Continue north east through more cultist enemies. eventually you will be in what seems to be the main square of Alcarnus. Fight your way towards the Marker and do battle with Maghda. ++++++++++++++++++++ Boss: Maghda +++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Maghda can repel attacks because of a shield of immunity that she uses around 3 times during this battle. Everytime the shield goes up another wave of cultist will come in to attack you. This is very much like the Queen Aranae spider battle from ACT I. This time the only difference is when Maghda's shields are up just don't bother attacking her. focus on the cultist and avoid her attacks until it's down. After the Battle return to the Hidden Camp to complete the quest. ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- - A Royal Audience - -------------------- 1. Short quest with a major cut-scene. Just follow markers until you enter the palace. Watch the scene. They will turn into snake monsters. Kill them all then destroy the 4 demon summoners. 2. Once done, escape the palace quickly, and head south west into a sewercap which will lead to the sewers of Caldeum. 3. Once inside talk to exclamation markers and the quest will complete. ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- - Unexpected Allies - ---------------------- 1. First we must make our way through the randomized sewers. The marker point will appear when near the wretched pit. Once there go inside. 2. Kill all of the snake enemies surrounding Adria. After killing the unique leader talk to Adria and head back to the Hidden Camp. 3. This will complete the quest. ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- - Betrayer of the Horadrim - ---------------------------- 1. Watch some cutscene's and head back to the Bazaar. Head south west towards the flooded causeway. Speak with the Emperor's vision. 2. Head to and through the Ruined Cistern. Make your way for the Oasis, which is Dahlgur. Once at the oasis we must find the head of Zoltun Kulle. The Marker will be randomized. 3. The Forgotten Ruins is our target, but Dahlgur Oasis Is huge. This may take a while, but once you find it head inside for more random dungeons and enemies. Make your way towards the head. Once you find it you will take out a mini boss. 4. Once complete, head to Adria in the Hidden camp to complete the quest. -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - Blood and Sand ------- ------------------------ 1. Probably the longest quest in the game, with the next one being second. Get ready for a long one. 2. First find the random Ancient Waterway, in Dahlgur Oasis. Once you do go inside. 3. The Ancient waterway, will have 2 sides, west and east. Clear out each side and pull the Flow Control levers on each. This will open up a age in the center of the waterway. 4. Once inside there will be a bunch of Betrayed enemies. Kill all the betrayed, then talk with the Barrel and break it open. You will meet Covetous Shen. 5. Covetous Shen is the game's Jeweler Artisan. He is now available in all towns. --------------------------- 6. Shen will ask you to find the Crucible in the Hidden Aqueducts. This is a short area and you must kill Shen's apprentice who has turned mad. Once you do pick up the Crucible to have Shen the party. Finally make your way to the exit. 7. In the Ancient Path area, we have 2 new markers. Either or can be completed in any order. Find the blood of Zoltun Kulle in the Cave of the Betrayer. This is the shorter dungeon and much easier. 8. Find the blood of Zoltun Kulle in the Vault of the Assassin. This is the longer more difficult one. They are both randomized and even finding them is difficult. The Choice on which you want to do first is yours. 9. Once you have the blood from both areas. Head towards the North, where the Archives of Zoltun Kulle is located in the Desolate Sands. This will start the Black Soulstone Quest. ---------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- - The Black Soulstone ---- -------------------------- 1. Once inside the Archives we are given a choice of searching either the western or eastern areas. Both must be searched so pick your destination then head for it. 2. Open the Locks in both the Unknown Depths and the Storm Halls. Finally you can Enter the Realm of Shadow which is in the Center of the Terminus. 3. In the Real of Shadow find Zolton Kulle's body. Once complete head back to the Terminus. Get ready for the next BOSS battle. ------------------------------------------------- +++++++++++++++++++++ Zoltun Kulle ++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Zoltun Kulle is going to have two HUGE rock golems accompanied with him. If you kill Kulle first the quest will complete. Although you may want to take them out of the way. 2. Kulle is the first real dangerous mini boss battle he is probably about as difficult as the butcher. He will shield himself from all attacks. He also has the 2 golems, and he cast area of effect spells( AoE) at your character often. 3. Know this and use your attacks to take him down. Once he is dead, follow the markers grab the soul stone and head back to the Hidden camp. --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- - The Scourging Of Caldeum - ----------------------------- 1. Head to the Caldeum Bazaar. The whole place will be under attack. You should bring the residents to the sewers for safety. You will have a 1:30 second time limit for this. Every resident brought to the sewers will net you gold and extra experience. 2. After that point, go north west through the main gates. Fight your way through a summoner and a bunch of snake enemies. Do this until you reach 3 Blue Monsters. Destroy them all then let Leah open the final gate to Belial. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ =============================== Belial : Lord of Lies ================================ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Belial will have 3 waves, or phases. First pre-battle he will summon a ton of snake minions at you. This is easy enough. 2. The 2nd phase will be Belial in his basic form. He is susceptible to stun and most attacks, he is still rather simple here. 3. Finally things get hard, as Belial shows his true form. He will cast out green bombs all over the arena. You must dodge those, dodge his arm attacks and pummel him at the same time. Usually after he launches his arm at the ground you have an opening. Use that to your advantage. 4. Once Belial is defeated put him in the soul stone. Return to the Hidden camp and head to ACT III. ========================================================= ======================================================== END OF ACT II =========================== ================================== ======================================================== +++++++++++++ . ACT III . +++++++++++++ -------------------------- The Siege on Bastion's Keep --------------------------------- 1. Head out of the Keep, making your way towards Skycrown Battlements. We have to light 5 signal fires. They are all marker based. 2. You may be a little confused running around the area. If you are lost the markers will still be on your map. Press the tab button, then drag your map to view the appropriate locations. 3. After lighting all 5 signal fires return to the Sergeant. This will complete the quest. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - Turning the Tide - ------------------------ 1. Now we have to raise 3 catapults. For some reason these mostly come up as "events". To Raise the catapult click on it several times. 2. Fight off monsters when you have to, but then return to the Catapult to speed up the process. Do this at all 3 markers. 3. After this is done, Town Portal back to Bastion's Keep. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - The Breached Keep - ------------------------ 1. The Keep Depths is the Next dungeon. Like the Cathedral and Zoltun Kulle Archives, it is pretty long. Some things to worry about; - Fire from the Floors - Unique Monsters - The Endless annoying random dungeon map. 2. Basically you know what to do, Destroy all and find a way to The Keep Level 2. 3. At level 2, look for the Depths level 3. Finally we will then encounter the Larder area, or the next Boss who is the.. The Lord of Gluttony. +++++++++++++++++++ GHOM +++++++++++++++++++ 1. Ghom will let out a disgusting toxic gas of sorts, from his body. This will damage you a large amount over time. 2. He is relatively easy, keep a distance unless your pure melee. You might have trouble with the barbarian. Have potions handy and I suggest life leech skills such as rend, revenge and life leech ives. 3. After Ghom is done for, head back to the keep. ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Tremors in the Stone ---------------------- 1. This is an event like area. Just go to the armory watch the scene, then kill all of the Terror spawns. Then Talk to Leah to complete the quest. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Machines of War ----------------------- 1. This one is going to take us directly into the battle field. So head through the main gate, talk to the Sergeant and then make way to the Bridge of Korsikk. 2. Each of the Ballista must be destroyed. Take them out as they are located on markers. Then destroy the Trebuchet and destroy that as well. Finally Find Rakki's Crossing. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Siege Breaker ------------------------ 1. Cross the long bridge with a ton of combat battles of glory and fell with monsters galore. Make your way to the end of the Bridge and encounter the Siege Breaker. 2. The Siege breaker is a purple enemy and a mini boss basically. He is not too difficult just beware his stomp. After he stomps run in with melee and attack. Ranged like Demon Hunter/ Wizard should have an easy time with Siege breaker. 3. After The Battle the Heart of Sin quest will begin. ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- Heart Of Sin -------------------- - Arreat Crater - Take the Arreat Crater to the Tower of the Damned. - In the Tower of the Damned Level 1 you will meet Azmodan's Mistress. She is half spider half woman. She is none other then the Maiden of Lust. 1. Fight your way through the tower of the damned level 1. Succubus enemies will shoot powerful energy spell balls at your character, also in this level fear/charm spells or controlling spells become more abundant. Make your way through the combat to level 2. 2. Once at level 2 continue onward to the Heart Of the Damned. We will do battle with the Mini-Boss type Cydaea the maiden of lust. Attack her until she runs off to the 2nd heart. 3. Arreat Crater Level 2, is one of the best places to gain experience in the game. There will be a ton of STYGIAN CRAWLERS. These guys come in huge packs and can be killed all at once, for Mighty Blow's , Massacares and just bonus xp depending how you are stacked in general with your character. Fight through these enemies to the Tower of the Curses Level 1. 4. Make way from level one to level 2. Circle around the slopes and meet Cydaea again in The Heart of the Cursed from level 2 Tower of the cursed. Destroy her then destroy the Sin heart and move into the Core of Arreat. 5. The Core of Arreat is a shorter stretch but still enemy packed. Make your way through its narrow map and head to the Heart of Sin to fight the next big boss, Azmodan- Lord of Sin. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AZMODAN - LORD OF SIN ++++++++++++++++++++++++=+ + Azmodan Should be attacked early and fast with your best attacks. Other wise he gets more difficult. He casts a legion type spell that rains bodies on the player. + Azmodan will engulf the area with a dark essence this can slow you down , do damage over time and cover almost the entire map. + He also has a very nasty and powerful fireball that must be dodged while dodging the other attacks at the same time. + Once he is defeated put him in the Black Soul Stone. Watch Cut Scenes back in bastion keep and enter the Portal to Heaven for ACT IV ! ======================================================== ======================================================== ================== ++++++++++ ACT IV +++ ++++++++++ ================== --------------------- - Fall of the High Heavens - --------------------------------- 1. Talk To Tyrael then head into the portal. Inside will be a battle with a ton of shadow type demons. There will Literally be hundreds of them. They go down easy, although they are accompanied by a purple colored name monster Iskatu. 2. Once they are defeated head through the portal which will start the next quest. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - The Light of Hope - --------------------------- 1. Talk to Itherael, then head into the Gardens of Hope. This is a random area and will be covered with a large amount of corruption. So basically a large amount of area is currently blocked off. 2. Look for the Library of Fate and do Battle with Rakanoth who is actually considered a Boss Battle. 3. Rakanoth is susceptible to stun so use something like that, Melee and Stun grenadiers should have an easy time. 4. Then Talk To Auriel the Angel of Hope. She will Tell you to start destroying the corruption blockages. We will be looking for a Hell Rift in one of the corruption blockages. It is random. Althogh Located in Gardens of Hope Tier 1. 5. Once inside the Hell Rift Destroy the Occulus. Use the Portal and enter Gardens of Hope Tier # 2. This one is much longer as we have not covered any of the area yet. Once you find the 2nd hell rift, destroy the Rift Occulus inside, then exit back to the gardens. Look for the portal to the Crystal Colonnade. Once there talk to Tyrael and Enter the Crystal Colondade. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Beneath the Spire -------------------------- 1. This is a cut scene based quest. Just talk to Imperius at the Colonnade. He will be angry but we can't listen to him. Then Enter the Gateway to the Silver Spire for the Final Quest of the game. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - Prime Evil - ----------------------------- 1. First Cross the Great Span, Which is filled with monsters uniques/rares/blues and all kinds of XP/MF areas of goodness. 2. Find Izual who is considered another Boss enemy. Izual has some nasty AoE ( Area of Effect Attacks ) Keep your Distance and try and used ranged. If Barbarian you may want to switch to weapon through. Keep a Ranged attack with your Monk as well. 3. After Izual it is a short trek through to the Pinnacle of Heaven. Do your chatting and get ready for the games Final Boss. None other then BIG D ! Diablo that Is... ------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++ DIABLO FINAL BOSS +++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Diablo is the Hardest of all the bosses, especially at first. Although one huge factor is he can be stun locked. By Stun locked I mean everytime you use a stun spell that goes into effect he can NOT do anything. This works on ALL difficulty levels at the moment. 2. There are 2 health fonts here in Phase 1. Use them Wisley. 3. Phase 2 there will be no health fonts. Althoguh the Shadows Diablo Summons drop a health globe always after they are killed. 4. Diablo's Grab attack is extremely powerful , Beware. 5. The Final Phase is phase 3. the health fonts and try and stun diablo out. He should go down. -------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************** ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- oOooOOooOOooOo Class Analysis oOooOoOooOooOooO ----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- *********************************************** *** This Section Contains video/text/fan art via; Links Provided ****** - - - - - - - 1.

Monk ============= DEMON HUNTER ============= - Skills - Builds - - - - - - - ::::::::::::::: 1. :: SKILLS :: ::::::::::::::: - Primary - Secondary - Defensive - Hunting - Devices - Archery ----------- - Primary - ------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Americanhardcoregames.com/DEmon-HUNTER-skillS-mONTAGE--.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .Hungering Arrow .Entangling Shot .Bola Shot .Grenades ===================== HUNGERING ARROW ::::: ===================== 1. The Hungering arrow will generate a base of 3 HATRED per attack. It does 115% of weapon damage and has a base 35% chance to PIERCE through targets . * This skill can be enhanced with a + PERCENTAGE (%) to Hungering Arrow skill. These types of modifications are completely legit and can be found on QUIVERS.* ------------------------------------- + Puncturing Arrow Rune ( Level 6 ) ------------------------------------- - Increases the chance for the arrow to pierce to 50 % --------------------------------- + Cinder Arrow Rune ( Level 17 ) ------------------------------------ - Light the arrow on fire, dealing 35% additional weapon damage as fire over 3 seconds.This stacks on top of the 115% Base Hungering arrow damage. * This skill can be enhanced with the % to Hungering arrow damage items, such as a QUIVER. Also it can stack FIRE % damage as well.* *So basically you can have fire damage + the original damage increase COMBINED. Making this a good rune choice for damage.* --------------------------------- + Shatter Shot Rune ( Level 26 ) -------------------------------- - IF the arrow successfully pierces the FIRST target the arrow will ALWAYS spilt into 3 more arrows. * This is a good rune to use, if your making a VAMPIRE build, or a life leech (LL) build type. It would also work well with, (LPK) or Life per kill.* * The reason is you are hitting more then just 1 target, when the arrow splits. So if you shoot one arrow and gain health or kill multiple enemies, your looking at more life gained back then using OTHER runes.* * This would also work very nicely with the BROODING ive ability. Brooding lets you gain 1% of health back per second. SHARPSHOOTER adds to critical hits. Making your shots leech MORE LIFE.* ----------------------------------- + Devouring Arrow Rune ( Level 42 ) ----------------------------------- - Each consecutive pierce increases the damage of the arrow by 70% --------------------------------- + Spray of Teeth Rune( Level 52 ) ---------------------------------- - Successful critical hits cause a burst of bone to explode from the target, Dealing 50% weapon damage to enemies in the surrounding radius. *Spray of teeth rune is my newest method of attack with Hungering Arrow. The trick here is to get your critical damage high. You also want your damage high as well. So use the following ive abilities. * Archery + 10% Critical chance for one-hand crossbows Stead Aim +20% Damage when 10 yards or more away from targets. Sharp Shooter - This one is hard to explain, but to be brief it gives you; 100% chance to land a critical on your NEXT shot over a certain period of time. *************** * Authors Notes * *************** ------------------------------------ ================= ENTANGLING SHOT:: ================= - Entangling Shot, is the least useful skill in the Demon Hunter's primary tree to me. - I find that he has so many other ways to SLOW enemies down that this is not needed much. - Although the Bounty Hunter Rune, gains back a large amount of life per hit. Around 8% which is really high for a LL or Life Leech build. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== BOLA SHOT :::::::: ================== - Bola's are great, one of the better skills. They also take quite an amount of skillfully finger clicking to use effectively as well. - - There are lightning bolas, fire , acid and bolas that restore discipline. This is on top of explosive and regular Bolas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ================ GRENADES ::::::: ================ Grenades come with 5 runes. --------- Tinkerer ---------- Which will increase hatred more rapidly with use ----------------- .Cluster grenades ------------------ Which deal fire damage over a wide radius ------------ .Fire bomb ---------- Which does slightly more damage then cluster grenades. Although it does this over a smaller radius. This is the worst of all the grenade runes at the moment of the current patch 1.07. -------------- Stun grenades. -------------- These are pretty useful, it be nice if you had a higher chance to stun. This is possible with other weapons with chance to stun or gear/rings ------------- .Gas grenades ------------- Are also very welcome if you have % to poison damage and grenade damage from weapons/gear. =========================================================== ------------- - Secondary - ------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ americanhardcoregames.com/D3-Secondary-DH-skiLLs-DEMONHU.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .Impale .Rapid Fire .Chakram .Elemental Arrow ===================== IMPALE ::::: ===================== + Impale is probably or arguably the best PvP build or skill focus in the Demon Hunter Skill Tree. - Sharshooter ive - This will Drastically increase your critical damage. It will also bring your next critical to 100% This means it will always do the max critical damage. ----------------------------------- - Marked for Death - + - Imaple With Grevious Wounds Rune - + = Sharpshooter - = One Dead enemy. ------------------------------------- One of the best elite/boss killing skills in the game. The best for Demon Hunter hands down. Impale + Chemical burn rune does and packs quite a punch. Even Better, Marked for death on a boss or elite enemy. Followed up with Impale with the grevious wounds RUNE. After that take sharpshooter ive skill. Let it clock up all the way, then unleash the attack. Watch the video as an elite on inferno,is taken down in about 4 seconds. A keywarden specifically. ====================================================== ================= RAPID FIRE ================= Rapid Fire : Cost 20 Hatred to initial. 10 Hatred to continue chaneling. * First impressions was amazing. Later on I felt disappointed. My reason is the runes. They could have made them more original. Regardless in combat it is quite effective skill.* ------------------------------ Withering Fire : ( Level 11 ) ------------------------------- Reduces initial Hatred cost to 5, and ignites arrows, causing them to deal fire damage. * One of the better runes. It lowers initial hatred cost to 5. Keeps the physical damage bonus and adds fire damage on top. * ------------------------- Web Shot : ( Level 19 ) -------------------------- Slows the Movement of affected targets by 80% for 1 second. Still deals initial physical damage. * With so many other original ways to slow enemies down + a rather boring graphical effect, I find this the worst rune for the skill.* =========================== Fire : ( Level 32 ) ---------------------------- While channeling Rapid fire, launch 2x Homing rockets every second. Each Rocket deals 35% Weapon damage as Physical To nearby targets. * This one could be really good if It fired more rockets and had a damage increase.I suggest ballistics ive with this one if your going all the way with it.* ---------------------------- High Velocity : ( Level 45 ) ----------------------------- Fire poison arrows that have a, 40% chance to pierce through enemies. * This rune can actually be interesting. If you increase your poison skill damage + increase grenade damage and combine this with grenades as primary. It might be a really interesting combination ! * ------------------------- Bombardment : (Level 56 ) -------------------------- Rapidly fire grenades that explode for 345% Weapon damage as Fire to all enemies within a 4 yard radius. * This is the same idea except with a much higher damage increase. Although I am not sure if the grenade damage increases with skill mods; such as + % to grenades. If it does this one is a keeper . * ***************** * Authors Notes * ***************** ============================================================== ==================== CHAKRAM =================== The Chakram : Level 12 The Chakram Cost 10 Hatred to Cast. It does 170% Weapon damage to enemies in its path. ************************************************************************ *The Chakram is probably the most used weapon in my inventory of skills. I found it to be one of the easiest skills to get used too, and one of the most effective.****************************************** ************************************************************************ ><><><><><>><>< Twin Chakrams : ><><><<<><><><> A Second Chakram will be released and mirror the first one. Both Chakrams do 114% weapon damage. (level 18 ) *********************************************************************** *Even more so despite the estimated 60% damage loss, this is one of the best Chakram runes.Although it loses 60% damage, It spins 2 Chakrams at once.This covers more field and if both hit will do a total estimate of 230% damage as physical.** *********************************************************************** ><><>><><><>< Serpentine : ><><>><><><><> The Chakram will follow a slow curve, dealing 230% weapon damage as poison the enemies. ( Level 26 ) ******************************************************************* * I like this one due to the graphics and sly maneuver when casted. It is a bit hard to get used to. Although for enemies weak VS posion or even PvP this has potential.*************************************** *********************************************************************** ><><><>><><>< Razor Disk : ><><><><>><>> The Chakram spirals out from the location dealing 187% weapon damage as Arcane. ( Level 34 ) ************************************************************** * Razor disc Chakrams have a what seems to be easier and faster attack then Serpentine Chakrams. They also do a steady 187% Arcane damage.********************** ********************************************************************* ><><>><<>><> Boomerang : ><><>><>><><> The Chakram path turns like a boomerang back to the caster. It deals 230% weapon damage as Lightning to all enemies it hits. ********************************************************** **This one deals lightning elemental damage. Nothing to original although at 230% weapon damage as lightning it can pack a punch to monsters weak vs that particular element.** ************************************************************* <>><>><><><><><><>><><><><><> Shuriken Cloud : ( Level 57 ) ><><<><><><><>>><><><><><><>>< Surround yourself with spinning Chakrams for 120 seconds. They deal 34% Weapon damage as physical to all enemies it touches. ***************************************************************** **This one is more original then the others. It is actually a blade aura. Although I do Not find it to useful, because the damage is only 34% and Demon Hunters are ranged avatars.** ********************************************************************** ***************** * Authors Notes * ***************** ======================= ELEMENTAL ARROW ======================= =============================================================== Fire off An elemental arrow to start without a rune. Down the line with the runes, you will get more types of arrows heads at your disposal. Ball lightning will increase damage to 155% weapon damage as lightning. Frost arrow will freeze opponents and slow them if they are affected. It will also do 170% weapon damage as cold Screaming skull is my personal favorite. It will have a 40% chance to inflict fear on the enemy. It will also do base damage as fire. Lightning bolts will stun enemies for 1.5 seconds on critical hits. Finally shadow tentacles deals 155% weapon damage to all enemies in its PATH. it will return 3% of damage done as life. ========================================================== americanhardcoregames.com/Defensive-Skills-Montage.html ========================================================== ----------------- DEFENSIVE -------- ------------------ - Caltrops - Smoke Screen - Shadow Power =========================== ================= CALTROPS :::: ================= Lay a Trap of Caltrops on the ground. All enemies within 12 yards of the caltrops will have thier movement speed slowed down by 60%. The Trap last 6 seconds each. ( Level 4) ::::::::: HOOKED SPINES ::::::::::::::: Level 12 This Will Increase Slowing amount to 80%. :::::::::::::: Torturous Ground :::::::::::::::::: Level 18 When the trap is sprung ALL enemies are Immobilized for 2 seconds. ::::::::::::: JAGGED SPIKES ::::::::::::: Level 28 Enemies in the area take 270% Weapon Damage as physical over 6 seconds.

It is great for defense, farming and getting out of rough situations. ***************************************** ********************************************************************* Action Shot :Every time you vault , fire off 2-3 arrows that will do 75% weapon damage per shot. ( Level 16 ) ------------------------------------------------------- ****************************************************************** * Pretty solid ability, doing damage for free while vaulting is nice. Not to mention it is fun to pull off. Although Trail of cinders later on is a far better, attack vault rune. ********************* *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- Rattling Roll :All enemies within 8 yards of your VAULT are stunned for 1.5 seconds. ( Level 23 ) -------------------------------------------------------- ************************************************************************** * Not to big of a fan of this one. I feel the stun does NOT have enough radius effect.It also does not seem to knock the enemies back much at all. Further more it does no bonus damage percentages. *************************************************************************** Tumble : After vaulting, your NEXT vault has 6 seconds to consume half the discipline cost. ( Level 33 ) *********************************************************************** * This is probably the most useful rune for VAULT. Use this with ives like Hot pursuit, and of course tactical advantage. This will speed up your demon hunter greatly. Using ferret companion combined with this rune can rack in lots of gold fast ! ************************************************************************* Acrobatics:Removes the discipline cost, yet adds a 10 second cool down. ( Level 38 ) *********************************************** * Usually you want to pull off Vault maneuvers, quick possible and A.S.A.P.

VAMPIRE . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8uFsDk03yA . VAMPIRE . ================== - Skills - Gear ------------------ :::: SKILLS :::: ------------------ . Grenades . + Grenades Should be used simply like "Holy water ". Within a flash they will stun your enemies. They can also be thrown from far away. This is a good prep battle tactic. It will also keep ELITE mobs or (e) mobs, at bay. ++ Elemental Arrow . - Elemental arrow with the Screaming Skull rune. This will give your shots a 40% chance for the enemies to run in fear. Useful due to the fact that we will be using Strafe. +++Shadow Power ( Night Bane ) The Builds gear is based around life steal. + Chance to bleed or Life regeneration. Basically anything having to do with blood. Shadow power will regain hatred AND 15% of all damage done as life with this rune. . Companion . ( Bat ) With so much hatred being used due to Strafe. We need an alternate regeneration method. Bat will give us 3 more hatred per second. . Sentry . ( Aid ) Staying in close quarters is a known trait of the vampire. Very seldom do they leave thier own adobe. In this case Standing in the Aid station while Strafing to Regenerate helath and damage output at the same time. . Strafe . ( Rune of Choice ) Main or primary attack. Firing off so many shots in such a large radius is the best way to Leach life and gain bonus XP. I choose this over Rapid Fire, due to the radius of damage, as well as the Freedom in Manuevering. -------------- IVES :: --------------- - Brooding This will let you Regeneration % Of your MAXIMUM life per second. It turns out to be quite a bit. - Archery When using one handed crossbows, which we will be using. This increases critical hit damage. - Vengeance Health globes will also restore HATRED. Much needed since we will be eating Hatred. ================ GEAR/STATS =============== . 400-450 Vitality at Paragon 1-5. . Total life should be Near or above 20k. . Dexterity should always be considered, due to the damage and chance to dodge. . Strength is not important as we are trying to avoid being hit. . Intelligence is semi important. This is because of the Resistances bonus. Although for this build it is probably better to gain resist from gear and keep the Dexterity. ========================= As For Gear you want the following stats or Modifications on your items. - Life Steal % - Life Regeneration - Life Per Hit ( Dawn ) - Marked for death ( Calamity ) - Chance to Bleed - Hatred Regeneration - Strafe Critical Chance Increases - Critical Damage Increases/ Chance ( Expensive Build ) ::::::::::: ::CALMITY:: ::::::::::: -14k DPS -Socketed with Marquise or PRS (Perfect Radiant Star) Emerald. - Life Steal 2.50% or + - 40-50 % Marked for Death Chance - ( IaS ) Increased attack speed 10% + - ( CHD ) Critical Hit Damage 90% + - (HR) Hatred Regeneration 1.25% or + ::::::::: ::DAWN::: ::::::::: 900.00 DPS + 270 Dexterity + 400-500 LPH ( Life Per Hit ) 1.5% + Chance to Stun Increased Attack Speed (IaS) 9% + + 40% Damage + :::::::::::::::::: MEMPO OF TWILIGHT :::::::::::::::::: +200 Dexterity + 12 % Life + Open Socket + 80 Resist all elements + 5.0-6.0 Chance to Crtical !!

ACROBAT . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDUnHGuZsVI . ACROBAT . ================ This build is based around farming XP for a starter player. The key is to find a ruby, the higher the quality the better. Place it into a socketed helmet. This will give you a % bonus to XP. Part 2 you must acquire items or gear with the + Monster kill experience mod. Combine these 2 XP combos together to gain a nice amount of XP cheap. Grenades + Tinkerer Rune. = Bonus to hatred regeneration to +6 per use. Chakram + Twin Chakrams = 114% Damage bonus. More importantly wider range hitting more enemies at a time. Caltrops + Hooked spines = Slowing enemies will be very helpful when escaping. Combine this with Cult of the weak ive ability to do more damage. Vault + Any rune = This is just an all around great skill. It also fits the acrobat nicely. Use this to, enter and escape from the battle. Also combine it with ive tactical advantage AND Hot pursuit to speed up running in the field. Fan of Knives + First rune = This skill with the starting rune will slow enemies down as well. See the video below for good strategies on using all these skills together. Rain of Vengeance + Shadow Beast rune = The Finale, extremely powerful, with a cool down. Use it often as possible but only in large large groups of enemies for bonus XP. ================================================================== _---_--------______-__-----__--_--_--- CUSTOM ENGINEER ---____--_----------________-----_-__- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Z19BCq9vs ============================================ To Start off, the main idea of this build should be obvious. It is based around the ive ability CUSTOM ENGINEERING. This will increase duration of 3 very important skills we will be using. It also will increase the amount of them that can be used at a time. First off we must choose a Primary. I choose grenades and grenadier ive. This choice is up to the player. You may want to use another option as there are many choices. I chose Cluster Grenades as my rune of choice. The next most important skill is assured to be CALTROPS. Caltrops with the TORTUROUS GROUND Rune. This will Immobilize enemies for 2 seconds, everytime. It also slows the enemy. Spike trap can be laid down 6 times now, you have the choice of chosing any rune. Although if you want to stick with cluster grenades this may change. I chose poison to switch up the elemental damages. Sentry can now be laid down 3x's. With improved Duration. Vigilant watcher is the best choice, due to increased cool down rate. Choose Hunting skill tree and then WOLF companion. This will add an extra 95% weapon damage every time the wolf attacks. Finally we need the breakpoint. Use Rain of Vengeance with your favorite rune, any should be effective. : GEAR : Gear has many options. This build is based strongly around the skills and ives being used. I suggest High APS rate, or Attacks per second. This will let you use your chosen primary to regenerate hatred faster. The build should be pretty cheap as well here are some of the items for basic. - Cheap Dawn- Cheap Calamity ( marked for death chance a must ! ) - Cheap Inquisitor The Rest is up to you. For an advanced build I will go more in Depth. The reason for Dawn and calamity together is the APS and the Marked for death. Note the Life per Hit on Dawn will be astounding. For An advanced build we have to go more in-depth. Say you go like I did in the video. Grenades and Fire based damage. - Mage Fist - 20% Fire skills- Grenadier ive ability- Inquisitor 3 sockets, with + % to grenade damage- 2x SoJ ( Stone of Jordan ) With + to Fire Skills, + To Grenade damage AND + to Max discipline. - An Extreme Dawn with Sockets + DPS - An Extreme Calamity with marked for death, High DPS and Socketed. - Anything else that may increase gold find/ magic find or if you want to be more powerful, Attacks Speed or APS. This would make an amazing character even PvP but Really expensive. You would be getting a nearly 75% Grenade damage bounus, fire included. + Much Much More. You may just be Unstoppable at Paragon 90 +. If you can make it.

Specifically I feel it is designed for PvP or Player VS Player.Regardless it has some amazing ideas and moves to customize around with. One of my personal favorites." Generate 15 Fury 10 Second Cool Down NO RUNE :Pull an enemy back to you slowing their movement by 60%. This will also deal 185% Weapon Damage GRAPPLING HOOKS : ( Level 15 ) : Throw 3 spears that will pull back every enemy hit. SKIRMISH : ( Level 22 ) : Increases Fury generated to 30 .

This ive skill will increase the spears damage by 10% or more depending on the various gear Ancient spear increasing skills, such as SOJ's or stones of jordan." "Other good ives are possibly buffs. Such as your War cries.These are battle rage, War cry, and Threatening Shout." "To make things more dangerous with the Ancient Spear you can add Frenzy and or some type of Critical increased Item/skill." ======= REVENGE ======= " Revenge is one of the skills that makes gameplay or combat much easier. It is rather simple yet still fun to use during combat. It activates at certain times after being hit by attacks with a % to activate. " VENGEANCE IS MINE : You will gain 5 FURY and 8.0 % of YOUR maximum life for each enemy hit. " This is a great one and simple enough to implement. It will increase the life gain by an extra 3.0%. This would be good with BLOOD LUST ive. Consider making a THRONS build with LIFE LEECH Barbarian using these skills and runes." BEST SERVED COLD: Unlocked Level 25 . After using Revenge your Critical Hit Chance is Increased by 10% for 12 seconds. " This is good but not great IMO. (in my opinion) I rather boost Criticals with items. Although if you already have a decent Critical rate or a real low one this is effective. Personally I rather take life leech for survival." RETRIBUTION : Unlocked Level 36. This will Raise the base NO RUNE damage to 286% weapon damage. GRUDGE: Knock Enemies back 24 Yards whenever Revenge is used. " Useful as a defensive manuever. Still doing damage makes it a quite balanced skill + rune combination." PROVOCATION : Unlocked Level 52. Increases the chance Revenge will become active to 30% each time you are hit by an attack. " This is great for a Barbarian with Higher Life and VITALITY points. If you can survive already and want to Dish MORE damage, take this one." =================================================== =============== FURIOUS CHARGE ================ NO RUNE : Generate 15 Fury Cooldown 10 Seconds Deal 195% weapon damage to all enemies in path of the Furious Charge.

The Confused target will attack other enemies for 6 seconds. " Personally this is the most tactical rune for weapon throw. It can work against Elite enemies. 6 seconds is also a nice duration time, although the 20% chance is a little low. With max fury you can have mobs killing each other if you get the confuse chance to land." DREAD BOMB : Expand ALL remaining FURY to throw a corpse which deals 3% weapon damage for each point of fury expended to all enemies within 12 yards of the target. " This one is tactical as well.

Earthquake ============= - Earthquake Base without a rune, deals 2000% Weapon damage as fire. Although this can be changed using one of its 5 switchable runes. - ................ . Giants Stride . ................. This rune will do the base 2000% weapon damage as fire. To add, it will also do 65% weapon damage as fire, where you "stride" or walk/run . .................... .. Chilling Earth .. .................... This rune will still do 2000% weapon damage although it will change the element to ice or cold damage. It will also apply the freeze on hit effect to most enemies it touches. Freeze will do just that, Make enemies frozen immobilizing them for moments. .............. The Mountain's Call ..................... This rune will completley take away FURY cost. It will also reduce the cool down to 105 seconds. This is a great rune if your going all RAGE. Or for Rage Based barbarian build, espeically when combined with IVE Boon of Bul-Kathos ability. ................ AfterShocks ................ This rune will cause secondary tremors. They will do an extra 65% weapon damage as well as knock enemies back. Damage done will be fire. I like the first 3 runes over this one, although knockback is always nice if your planning an escape. ................. PATH OF FIRE ................ This rune seems like aftershocks but it will actually project tremors 12 yards in front of your avatar. Still inflicting 65% weapon damage as fire. On a side note this one will NOT knockback the enemy. ===================================================== ================================ 2. Call of the Ancients (CoTA).. ================================ Without a Rune, this skill is a great skill. It will unleash 3 troops or ANCIENTS, to assist your barbarian in battle. The ancients will do 65% weapon damage per hit, as well as have extra or bonus abilities/attacks. The ancients can die, and if fallen they will not revive until summoned again. At a base they last for 15 seconds. ................ The Council Rises ................. This rune inflicts 66% weapon damage with each hit made by an Ancient. Each Ancient gains 100% additional Armor. ---------------- DUTY TO THE CLAN ---------------- This Rune, will increase duration to 20 seconds from 15. This is one of my personal choices. .............. Korlic's Might .............. Korlic will gain the skill Furious Charge, which will deal 200% weapon damage to all enemies hit in a line. These are the extra or bonus abilties talked about in the NO RUNE description of CoTA. ................ MADAWC'S MADNESS ................ Madawc gains seismic slam which deals 180% of your weapon damage to enemies in an arc. These skills are great, having seismic slam at your hands without actually requiring a skill slot is a good idea. .................. TALICS ANGER .............. Talic will gain the LEAP ability. This will deal 250% weapon damage to enemies around the leap. Once again great to have an extra skill somewhat, without using a skill slot. =============================================== ------------------------------- 3. Wrath Of the Berserker . ( WoTB ) --------------------------------------- Cost : 50 Fury Cooldown : 120 Seconds Enter a berserker rage which raises several attributes for 15 seconds. Critical Hit Chance : 10% Attack Speed : 25% Dodge Chance : 20 % Movement Speed : 20% ................ ARREAT'S WAIL ................ Nice Rune, that will KNOCK BACK all enemies. It will also deal 430% weapon damage to them all. I like this one. For obvious reasons. Great when combining this with Earthquake or another powerhouse skill. Save for Elite Mobs or E-Mobs. ............ INSANITY ............ While WoTB is active damage is increased by 100%. ........... SLAUGHTER ........... Critical have a chance to deal 155% weapon damage by causing an explosion of blood dealing the damage to enemies in 15 yards. I think you must kill the enemy for this to work WITH a critical hit. That's why i don't find much use for this skill. ............. Striding Giant ............... Increases Dodge Chance to 60% * Great rune, dodge is something overlooked at the moment in Diablo 3. Dodge completley dodges the attack you will take no damage for doing absoulutley nothing. It is a ive counter so why not raise it up ?. * ................. Thrive on Chaos ................ Every 25 FURY gained while Wrath of the Berserker is Active adds 1 seconds to it's duration. The possibilities of FUN on this rune are IMMENSE. A Full Build comes to mind when thinking of this rune alone. It's going to take skill to use and patience to build, as well as fast reflexes AND watching the all screen meters/icons. You want to Firstly, watch your WoTB icon to see how much time left is on it. - WoTB Icon - Fury Meter - Life Meter - War Cry Meter ( War cry is a fury generator ) So you can gain a quick rush in FURY while it's active. I can go more in depth on this and I probably will so, See the Barbarian BUILDS section of this guide. It is/will be labeled BERSERKER BUILD. ================================================== ======================= +++++++++++++++ Barbarian IVES ---------------------- ======================= - Pound of Flesh . - Ruthless . - Nerves of Steel . - Weapons Master . - Inspiring Presence . - Berserker Rage . - Blood Thrist . - Animosity . - Superstition . - Tough as Nails . - No escape . - Relentless . - Brawler . - Juggernaut . - Unforgiving . - Boon of Bul-Kathos . --------------------------- o.

When all else fails, you need this. Cast your Threatning shout into a large or tough mob of enemies. Then Quake em. .

Primary Skill ----------------- I chose cleave to take out more enemies at once. Although this is up to your favorite skill/ effective rune combo and play style. It may alter your ive skill choices, but don't let it. ---------------------------------- 6. Hammer of the Ancients -------------------------- Birthright : . Birthright rune will increase treasure drops. Combine this with your; ================================================= - Threatening Shout - War cry for defensive buff and fury gain. - Battle rage if necessary to put out more damage. - Finally, release the HoA ( Hammer of Ancients ) =================================================== ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Gold Find Barbarian Gear Set Up ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stats : Strength : 20k + Damage should be around 60k while using Battle Rage. Dexterity : Least Important, yet don't forget about it. Intelligence : Good for resistances don't keep too low. Although gear is better for cranking them up with this build. Vitality: around 1k or more, more is good, Although you don't want to give up to much for strength decrease.

Utilizing skills such as Earthquake with Giant Stride Rune. Volcanic Eruption Rune from Whirwind Skill. Punish with the Bash skill, and several Fire damage enhancing gear. Of course criticals are a must. () ======== GEAR ======== . Maximus . Maximus Is the highest powered two handed fire weapon in the game. It can deal up to 25% Fire damage increase. It also will deal from 250-500 Fire damage per hit. This is enhanced due to the % increase. Maximus Also can have a very High Critical Damage increase. Mine personally does 1302.2 DPS with 192% critical damage increase. Also it adds 300+ to strength, which makes it one of the best possible Maximus I have ever seen. It cost quite a penny to find one like the one I have. You should aim for those stats. If you find one like mine with a socket, consider your self set with a weapon to paragon 100 if your planning on sticking with this build. . Mage Fist . This is Strictly Used for the fire damage increase. Finding one with critical hit chance even better if Possible. . Fire Walkers. Burn the ground you walk on literally. It just fits the build all around much more sweeter. ++++++++++++ + VITALITY + ++++++++++++ Vitality is a major factor with this build. We will be using War Cry with invigorate shout. This is much needed to boost Vitality as well as overall life regeneration. For your empty sockets it may be best or probably would be best to sacrifice some Ruby gems for some amethyst gems. This will boost your life and you will survive longer in later levels of inferno. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::: SKILLS :::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: WHIRLWIND : With Volcanic Eruption Rune BASH : With Punish Rune EARTHQUAKE: With Giant's Stride Rune WAR CRY : With Invigorate Rune IGNORE PAIN: With Bravado Rune REVENGE : With Vengeance Rune * Note * Punish rune can increase the power of ALL other skills. This is why we choose this primary. It can stack up to 24% More damage to whirlwind for several seconds after stacking. This also will work when you use your Earthquake with Giant's Stride Rune. () ives () Bloodlust : 3% All damage done converted to life. Pound of Flesh : More health globes after kills.

Watch the video to get familiar with using the build. ====================================================== ======== :::::::: GEAR :::::::: ======== 1. Immortal King's Set with everything EXCEPT for the weapon, which is IK Boulder Breaker. - The reason for this is not only is it overall a great equipment setup, but the bonus to fury you will receive with it. -- Most important aspect is the Fury Generation when you have a total of FIVE pieces of the SET equipped at the same time. 2. The next most importance is the weapons. I suggest using dual wielded weapons. - The First or "MAIN" will be left hand slot. - For this slot, Use something with these stats and Mods. . Black Damage ( no element) . HIGH DPS ( Damage per second ) . Life steal . Open Socket . ( CHD ) or Critical Hit Damage. . Increased attack speed. a Good Example would be The BUTCHER'S SICKLE 3. Your SECOND weapon in your off hand, should have all of the above, with the major subtraction of DPS which is NOT needed. This will result in a much cheaper price then the first weapon. 4. Finally you want your primary stats and possibly vitality or vice versa IF possible on ALL of your gear. 5. Strength is the obvious choice, but Vitality is very important as well. As is MORE life leech or converted to life damage mod. 6. It can get REALLY expensive if your planning on doing MP 10 INFERNO.

Starter Wizard Build 2. Illusionist 3. Critical Mass (CM) 4. Infinite Meteor 5. Archon 6. Elemental ============================ 1. Starter Wizard Build > ============================ This is a basic wizard build for levels estimated around 13-33. You should get by all of normal mode and some of nightmare easily with this build, It may cost up to 400-500,000 Gold. You may use substitutes but this is the best possible cheapest setup you can use. You want monster to kill experience stats. With these, everytime you kill a monster you will gain + the number of experience on that item. So if you have a belt that says +18 after each monster kill or something similar. It will give you +18 on top of what the monsters experience is worth. This can stack, double or triple, when you get multi kills. If you have a ruby in your helmet you can also increase it further by increasing your bonus experience percentage. Further more, sets like decarkd cain's fate and many more elusive or expensive items in the game give these types of XP bonuses. Look out for them. ---------------------------------- youtube.com/watch?v=ADp4qLgq82Q ========================= <>< >< >< >< <>< >< >< <>< >< >< < < ><>< >< > 2.< < < < < illusionist Wizard > > > > > > >> <><><> <>> <> <>< >< >< >< >< >< >< >>< ><> <>< =========================----------------------------- americanhardcoregames.com/ENEERGY-TWISTA-WIZARD--.html ------------------------------------------------------- " When the Storm Burrows it Burrows deep." Yet the Eye of the Storm stays forever with it's wrath." - Codebreakdin of Yor . ==== GEAR ==== + Storm Crow --------------------------------------------- Storm Crow will give a boost to ALL attributes. It can also come with up to 6.0 Critical Hit Chance. Although expensive it is awesome and one of the better looking Helmets in the game. ---------------------------------------------- + Tyrael's Might ------------------------------------------------ Tyrael's Might is a throw off from using Tal' Rasha Armor. I used this because of the Following. - 12% Movement Speed - % Extra Damage to Demons - % Extra Damage to Elites - Huge Intelligence Increase - Possible 3 Sockets - All Resistance around 70-80 %. ----------------------------------------------- + Tasker And Theo + Res/INT Rare Boots + Rare INT/res Shoulders + Stone of Jordan --------------------------------------------- SoJ Will increase damage VS elites, as well as increase Maximum Arcane Power. As well it will increase the Critical Chance of Energy Twister. ---------------------------------------------- + Slorak's Madness ------------------------------------------- Slorak's Madness has up to 9-10 Critical Chance to gain arcane power on Critical hits. It also is one of the only legendary items with Energy twister Cricitical Chance increase. -------------------------------------------- + The Oculus --------------------------------------- The Oculus Has a Cool down of up to 4 seconds on the Teleport ability. Combined with Illusionist ive ability this will increase our casting % to cast by around 80% !. ---------------------------- + Rare Pants RES/INT + The Witching Hour + Rare Critical Ring ============= SKILLS ============= 1. Energy Twister : Rune - Gale Force . - Energy Twister is the primary attack or what this build is based around. - Pick a comfortable key to use it with. - Energy Twister is one of the best looking spells in the game. It has some great runes that also require skill, knowledge and understanding to use. - It also has enough IVE abilities to make it one of the more enjoyable skills to mess around with. - Energy Twister as a base does 360% Weapon damage OVER 6 seconds. The catch is that it must HIT the enemy as it travels in it's PATH. This makes certain things more or less practical. - Although with Gale Force we can crank up the damage to 468% weapon damage as ARCANE which is arcane damage even without a rune and also for ALL Energy Twisters. - Note that energy twisters last 6 seconds always. They bounce off walls and are excellent for taking out HUGE massive groups of enemies in close quarters. - The Problem is E mobs or Elite mobs. Which are yellow and blue type enemies. If 2 of them come at you at once and your a low paragon level consider yourself dead easy. 2. Teleport With Reversal - - Teleport is a defensive and were going with reversal because if used properly it can get you out of tight spots. With Reversal you can cast 2 teleports within 8 seconds as quickly as you would like. - Reversal will let you Teleport in one direction, then if casted again you can teleport back to previous destination before teleport. Using this can be utilized to make nice "hit and runs ." 3. Slow Time With Miasma. Slow time will Slow time within a shown radius on screen in a time bubble. With Miasma, every enemy that enters the bubble will be slowed.Due to the Miasma they will continued to be slowed for 3 seconds even AFTER leaving the bubble. - Slow Time is an all around great defensive maneuver. It will even slow the Wizard's most FEARED attack, which is Ranged projectiles by 90%. - So if your planning on taking it easy and grinding it out you are dead wrong. You are going to have to actually try and avoid being hit, casting Energy twister, dodging ire pools, melee attacks and anything the challenging world of DIABLO 3 throws at you ! 4. Primary is Shock Pulse WITH Lightning Affinity rune. - Shock pulse is great because i feel like it has the best Radius. Range is somewhat short, although your spreading lightning in a big enough Arc. - Lightning affinity rune will let you restore ARCANE power with each enemy hit by the Shock Pulse. This is needed to REFUEL or Energy Twisters. 5. Mirror Image with Duplicates rune. - if one is better then two I would be wrong . Right ?. - Duplicate rune will give you 4x TOTAL images. Mirrored Images can NOT do damage without a certain rune. They also can dissipitate through time or damage. 6. Energy Armor with Pinpoint Break rune. Energy Armor will sacrifice some ARCANE resource power, for some extra armor. The Difference is worth it . ===================================================== ===================================================== 3. Critical Mass. 4.Infinite Meteor ===================================================== americanhardcoregames.com/CM-and-INfinite-Meteor-wiz.html ----------------------------------------------------- - See Video For Full Analysis With Commentary. ==================================================== ==================== 5. Storm Wizard . -------------------- A build that can utilize many lightning skills and runes. Most importantly and finally an effective way to use Storm Armor especially with shocking aspect. --------------------- KEYS : Critical Hit Chance . You want this as High as possible, the more criticals the more damage and more times shocking aspect with land 100% direct hits on enemies. Critical Hit Damage : Since we will have a high CC we might as well go for more critical damage. DPS : High always good, but for this build even more so due to low resist and low armor. You want things dead as fast as possible. APS : Attacks per second, should be around 2.25 at a minimum, the higher the better but watch your Arcane power. AoC: Arcane on Critical hits, will restore arcane power this let's you cast more spells. Pure Skill : Mauneverability and pure skill will make you effective with this build. So practice, it is much more difficult to use then a easy cake CM build or Critical Mass, in most cases more fun as well. -------------------------- SKILLS : - Electrocute ; Forked Lighting - Energy Twister ; Mistral Breeze - Hydra ; Lightning Hydra - Storm Armor ; Shocking Aspect - Diamond Skin ; Crystal Shell - Blizzard ; Frozen Solid ives : - Paralysis - Temporal Flux - Galvanizing Ward -------------------------------- HOW TO USE : Paralysis, gives a low but 8% chance to STUN enemies for 1.5 seconds per hit. This is the Highest base % chance to Stun enemies in the game or paralyze them, with longest time limit. This CAN be increased with gear that has the STUN modification. Look for it on gloves,weapons and a few other pieces of gear. You can probably get to a MAX of around 18-20% stun chance or a little more. This is crucial, as if enemies are stunned, they can't do anything or come at you and kill you ! -- Temporal Flux, will slow down enemies with every hit, when hit by an Arcane Spell. Energy twister is our main sorce of damage so casting this in conjunction with forked lightning will equal, Both paralysis chance and a slow down. -- Blizzard and Frozen solid rune, will even have a chance to FREEZE the enemy and chill them, which will slow them down even more so WHILE adding huge damage over time at the same time. -- Shocking aspect will be nailing everything direct without an enemy dodge chance on EVERY critical hit for 35% weapon damage, on top of all your other spells being casted at that time. -- Hydra is a quick cast that is going to do some extra damage as well. To add it also will land critical hits and add to shocking aspects critical hit chance. So bascailly if Hydra lands a critical hit shocking aspect WILL strike. -- Diamond Skin and Galvinizing ward, are the defensive ablities, use them wisely and scarcely in conjunction with Potions. ---- For the exact gear, please see the video link above. ----================================================ oOoOooOOoOooOOooooOooOOo The Witch Doctor 0oOoooOOOooOooOoOOoooooOOOooo - - - - - - 1.

The Definition of proc is actually a math formula. The only way I can personally explain this is by saying it is a "roll" of sorts. A better way to explain would be to say a "game roll" or "in game roll". . You may notice some skills have a CHANCE to deal X% amount of damage. This relates to the Proc chance or Proc damage. . For Example When Rolling almost half critical hit chance and using a ive such as paralysis, Forked lightning would be the best primary choice in the electrocute tree. Why ? . Well all i can say is thanks to KielFly current paragon 96 on Diablo 3 Americas. The information provided states that forked lightning has a 1/6 proc while chain has 1/12. . I can only explain this as the way enemies appear. Chain lightning says it has a "CHANCE" to hit 6 enemies, but how often are enemies positioned as such for that to happen ?? . So both were tested out. With a critical chance of 41.5% Chain lightning dealt out far less criticals or yellow number damage. This means less damage and more time wasted trying to level or MF. . Forked lightning was on the obvious reverse since there were only 2 skills studied, was far more effective. . In Conclusion, Forked Lightning is the better choice and has a better Proc Ratio. Especially when combined with a high CC or Critical Chance. ================================================ -------------- Follower Stacks --------------- Followers can help your MAIN character stack with the following : - Gold Find - Magic Find - Experience % gain - Note that these are % rates stacked on to your actual %. So if an item gives your follower 10% and you have 100% of the ladder... You will receive 110% extra gold find,MF or XP % gains. * Just more is better * =============================================== =============================== Tell me who am I, without you ?
