You can probably tell from the previews and Diablo 4 S8-PTR that Season 8 is getting harder than before. So, I’m going to give you some tips that might help you.
First, as a casual player, start with the basics. You only need to do the necessary things including getting any gear-related Golem Mastery or Skeletal Mage Mastery or Skeletal Warrior Mastery you can find.
Then，decide what Ultimate Skills you want. Then learn how to use them to their full potential and become proficient at using them. Reduce the cooldown of these skills to the point where you can use them at any time. Although there are too many builds and dazzling guides to choose from, this is the most direct and effective way to help you transition through the early stages.
For normal-level players, it’s best to focus on leveling until you reach level 60. The easiest thing to do is to pick up a Necromancer with Minions, which will make it easier at first. Then, if there are other Necro builds you’d like to try, you can make adjustments later.
In addition, when you’re still at a normal level, you can try to get some Grim Favors from Tree of Whispers that can help you improve your gear. Since gear is expected to become increasingly difficult to obtain, you can also use Diablo 4 Gold to obtain the gear you want. Trying to do this will not only help you get the gear, but also allow you to build a useful and interesting character.
One of the fastest ways to level up a character is to get a Whisper Tree Cache, store it, and then create a new character, using the accumulated experience, and push forward directly. You will find that your new character may be 20-30 levels up in a few seconds.
For example, you can start a build at level 1, get some Whisper Tree Caches, and it will drop items based on your level. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get Paragon Glyphs and temper manuals. With the gear and experience points obtained from Whisper Tree Cache, you can skip some tedious steps and quickly upgrade another character to level 60.
When you reach level 60, you can start accumulating Paragon Points, and your Resistances and Armor will reach the maximum level. With these, you can unlock Torment 1.
This season is more difficult. You’d better try Infernal Hordes of Tier 1 and it requires you to clear at least for 20 The Pit. Or try to defeat the boss of Torment 1. If you fail, go to Blacksmith to repair your gear. If you think it is still too difficult for you, just downgrade directly and don’t waste too much time on it.
Additionally, you may get a Unique that is tailored to you, and a base Unique. Take Ring of Menolin, for example, which can help your Minions.
But remember, everything is subject to change, and all your Points can be refunded. You can also start over with the same character, sacrifice all Minions in exchange for other powers, and build a completely different Necromancer.
As you start to make progress or get some gear, you will naturally want to challenge the higher-level versions of The Pit. At this time, you will find that some new items have appeared or some problems have been fixed. These fixes will make it easier to deal with problems in the future.
Finally, my most important advice is to not be too nervous or worried, just relax, find the fun in the game, enjoy the game itself, and enjoy what you are doing.
