I have seen a few guides and have tried a paladin and a sorc char (both to about level 10 or so).
I do not have any equipment that the guides talk about so I am finding it hard to advance (still in Single Player, Normal - Act I). So, I seem to be getting weaker as I am just using Melee (normal attack), to fight. I have 1 point into Might, and have that always on, in the right side attack slot.
Thinking about starting over, but wondered if I should be doing something different. Or, am I just playing these char's wrong ...
I have tried a Hammerdin Pally, but he will not get the 'Blessed Hammer' skill until lvl 18 (and guides say that it will not be effective until about lvl 30). Now, at lvl 12, I am using a scepter with 6-11 dmg, and a shield with 35% blocking. Not good, but all I can find and use with only 30 str. As stated earlier, I use Melee attack with the Might always on. Is this how low level pally's start?
Also, I tried a Meterorb Sorceress, but will not get Meteor skill until lvl 24. For this char, at about lvl 10 now, I use fire bolt as my main attack, and ice blast in the right slot, but it is only lvl 2 now, and my fire bolt is lvl 7, I think, as I put most skill points in fire bolt. The fire bolt works good, but takes tons of mana. So, this is a big problem if I run into any groups of more than 3 or 4 at a time (I quickly run out of mana/rejuv potions).
I thought about trying a Barb, as I had a good one in Diablo, and figured that would be the easiest to play (... Melee, Melee, Melee.. right?), but after creating one and playing to lvl 5, I figured that the ranged attacked creatures would be killers and would only get worse, so I gave up on that (maybe try that later, if I find a good guide, or good equip).
The problem I have with guides is that many say max 4 skills, but that is 80 points, so how do you start with just a few points? Do you put points in all 4 evenly? or pick 1 and max it first? or how is this done? And, what attack do you use before you can use your main skill?
I guess the last paragragh is really my only question ... are there any guides on how to play the low levels with just average equip and in single player Classic mode? Any links or help would be greatly appreciated....
