 | Starting from scratch: What class?(1) | Category: GeneralApril-8-2013 11:47 AM PDT (10 years ago)  |
| Hello all. Just thought i'd run this past general and see what comes out. But if i wanted to start a fresh character with zero AH involvement, what class would you guys choose? Some background: I've been playing d3 since release off and on. Yes, i know all the problems the game has had over time, but i also have been here for all the improvements. My barbarian was my first character and first 60, but i haven't played him much since before the paragon patch (when he was still roadblocked in act 2 inferno). My demon hunter and witch doctor came somewhat later. And while i haven't gotten them to extremely high paragon levels, i still have them to the point where they comfortably farm MP2-3 wherever i want. Not a big deal, i know, but it at least lets me say i've seen the areas, drops, farming routes, etc. So now i'm coming back in for another swing (i enjoy the combat in this game and want to kill some demons :P) and was thinking of a way to make the game fresh for me. I've yet to level a monk or wizard so that was an option... but another hit me as i sat thinking about it... something i did to great enjoyment even in D2. A zero-trade character. Basically its a simple concept (that i'm sure has been thrown around on the forums here many times). But i want to make an alt with no gear from other characters. No auction house usage (except for selling, i'll go that far). No trading of any kind. Only using what that character finds, and what that character crafts. This idea intrigues me but now the question comes: What class? Monk or wizard since i've never done them before? Barbarian because it has been a very long time since i played one? DH or WD because i know them best? Just looking for some input and advice from the forums to help me narrow it down :) TL;DR: Starting a character from scratch with zero trading and zero AH involvement. What class would be a good pick to go with for the giggles? ty all :) update: update post on the second page with details but i've narrowed it to barb or wizard at this point. ty all :) [Post edited one time, last edit by Skyfire#1599 at April-10-2013 8:53 PM PDT (10 years ago)] | ||

| Playing with only self-found gear can be pretty fun, and I personally found the sense of progression was heightened as a result. I don’t know where your goals lie with your new character, but maybe completing Inferno with a second Barbarian could be a fun experience. You’d have something to compare and contrast the game experience to, and also benefit from returning to the class that originally caught your eye. There is a self-found Barbarians over on Diablo.Incgamers.com that could be helpful despite being a little dated: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?841441-The-Legitimately-Self-found-Barbarian-Guide You might also want to check out the winners of Diablo Fan’s “Helpful Hints†contest, which goes over tips for each class: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/8649258 If you’re still not sure of what class to play the “Choosing Your Class†section of our game guide might provide some inspiration. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/guide/get-started/choosing-your-class | ||
