Trying to build a successful character in Diablo 3 can sometimes be a very frustrating experience. The harder difficulty levels such as hell and inferno can be absolutely punishing and demoralizing. Trust me! I know exactly what you are going through. I have been there before and know just how maddening an experience it can really be. So I would like to share with you four quick tips that have personally helped me to succeed and survive in the world of Diablo 3.
1. Use builds to design your character: In Diablo 3 character builds are basically blueprints or plans that you can follow to create a particular style of character. There are various types of builds for all five of the character classes in the game. Diablo 3 builds are meticulously planned out which causes them to be far more effective in-game than building a character without any plan or strategy behind it. So find the best style of build for the character class that you like to play and stick to the formula when developing your character.
2. Customize your game settings: Unless you are a complete beginner, you should customize your settings and gameplay options. Two of the most important settings in Diablo 3 are elective mode and advanced tooltip display, both of which are located in the options/gameplay menu. Enabling elective mode will allow you to customize your characters skill key bindings for more effective gameplay. With advanced tooltips enabled much more detailed information will be displayed in tooltip windows.
3. Learn about boss modifiers: Bosses in Diablo 3 have various modifiers which enhances their abilities and skills. You will be able to see which modifiers any boss in the game possesses by pointing your mouse cursor over them which will cause the boss name and information to display just above the bosses head. Bosses in Diablo 3 will be a much easier encounter for your character to handle if you know what all the different boss modifiers are and how to effectively deal with them.
4. Learn how to use the auction house: Knowing how to use Diablo 3's in-game auction house will greatly benefit your character. Success and survivability in Diablo 3 is very dependent on the quality of your characters gear and the resources that your character has available. So be sure to spend some time learning the ins and outs of using the auction house to gear your characters properly so that you are able to survive on the games harder difficulty levels.
