CHARACTER CLASS GUIDES

BARBARIAN

Barbarians are probably the most popular of all the classes. This class has
been in Diablo since the very first game and so we can understand the role they
play in the Diablo Universe. The first choice of any new gamer should be the
Barbarian because of the ease of maintainence and the little stratergy required
to operate the Barbarian.

Barbarians are mainly dependent on Strenght although Vitality is important to
any class. Because of their poweful build and stature, the Barbarians favour
close combat - typically Melle. The Barbarians have skills enough to take down
weaker foes with a single hit and also to bring down an entire horde of enemies
around them. They are able to carry weapons of great strenght and brutality
which others cannot.

Because of the nature of Barbarians, their FURY acts like a fuel to all the
skills which are unlocked for them. Amongst their skills are a few which allow
the Barbarian to make ranged hits and more importantly, the Barbarians can
Shout which can render enemies powerless. Also, the great strength of the
Barbarians allows them to equip very Heavy Armour and Massive Shields which can
easily deflect the blow of the smaller enemies.

The Barbarian also rely on their Intimidating looks to strike fear even in the
most twisted monster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resource: Fury

Barbarians come from a long standing group dwelling in the shadow of
Mount Arreat. Since an early age, the barbarians were handed axes and swords
and were raised among the harsh and unforgiving cold climate of the mountain.

Their core strength to perform amazing tasks comes from their Fury which the
Barbarian accumulates while in combat. The Barbarians fury increases with
each kill they make thereby filling the orange globe to the bottom right of the
Screen. The max Fury of a Barbarian is set at 100 and can be increased to 120
later on with the unlocking of a skill. Most of the skills which the Barbarians
employ to do ground shattering damage uses up the fury stored within them.

But the Barbarians cannot maintain they Fury and it gradually fades away.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attributes of the Barbarian

The main attribute of the Barbarian is his Strength. The strength of a Brabrian
increases by three points for each level finally taking his total strength to
187 at level 60. Also, his Vitality is important and hence is increased by two
points every level and goes to a max of 127 points at level 60. Dexterity and
Intelligence are two little used Attributes but none-the-less, the are required
so they are increased by 1 point every level taking them to 67 at lvl 60.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BARBARIAN DEVELOPMENT STYLE

By the end of your forst playthrough when our character is hopefully on level
30, you ought to have the following skills in your skill set which will make
fighting the Lord of Destruction easier in the end.

Skill 1 - Bash

Out of all the Primary Active Skills, the Bash skill which is the first skill
to be unlocked in the game will be of prime importance. This is the case
because it will deal 150% weapon damage - the highest of all the primary skills

The Rune for Bash should be Onslaught which will do an additional 44% damage
with each hit.

Skill 2 - Hammer of the Ancients

This skill does a direct 200% weapon damage to the enemy dorectly in front of
you - it's not bleeding damage like the other skill but direct weapon damage
which make it priceless.

The rune which should be set is Smash which does an additional 75% weapon
damage.

Skill 3 - Sprint

You will need Sprint because Diablo can cause deevestating one time attacks
which you will be able to move away from once sprint is activated - this is
also useful for all boss battles.

The rune which should be unlocked with it is Rush which increases the dodge
chance.

Skill 4 - Revenge

Dealing additional 220% weapon damage is no mean task but Revenge allows us to
do so.

The rune with Revenge should be Best Served Cold, which increases our critical
hit chance by 10% for 12 secs.

Skill 5 - Weapon Throw

Weapon Throw allows us to inflict 120% weapon damage with an additional chance
to slow the enemy movement by 60% for 2 secs.

The rune along with it should be Mighty Throw which increases the weapon damage
to 156%

Skill 6 - Wrath of the Berserker

The Berserking Rage which you enter will increases several of your critical
score chances which can be extremely helpful.

You will not be able to unlock any rune during the first playthrough.

Passive Skill 1 - Pound of Flesh

An increased chance to drop health globes which we are bitterly going to need.

Passive Skill 2 - Animosity

Your fury regeneration is increased by 10% and max fury by 20 while this is
active, so if you are big on fury usage (which you should be) then this will
be of amazing help.

Passive Skill 3 - Superstition

Reduces all non-physical damage by 20% and a bit of Fury regen to the side.

DEMON HUNTER

In the world of Diablo, if there ever were Vigilantes who burdened themselves
with the unholy task of damning all the Hellspawn back to Hell then they would
be in the form of a Demon Hunter. The Demon Hunter is a cunning warrior who
prefers to stay away from the sight of the enemies and use projectiles and
deadly traps rather than go into the main fray and get their hands dirty.

The Demon Hunters especially excel in destroying clustered foes together.
Their evasive skills fueled by their Discipline is as important to them as
any weapon they possess as a cornered or surrounded Demon Hunter would be in
great danger. Their arsenal consists of Longbows, grenades, projectiles and
even crossbows.

Apart from their primary weapons, the Demon Hunter uses a range of caltrops,
mines and other traps to ensure they kill their targets.

Demon Hunters are also unrivaled in stalking and flanking monsters and their
ability to move among the shadows and superior Battle Tactics make sure they
survive and win each and every battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resource: Hatred and Discipline

A Demon Hunter's blood is always boiling, their hatred for the hellspawn is
so legendary is they can channel their Hatred to destroy oncoming demons with
deadly skills. Their Hatred is nearly endless as a Demon Hunter is always
filled with a Desire for Vengenace and so Hatred regenerates very quickly even
outside battle. They use Hatred to throw devastating attack skills.

Demon Hunters also use another skill - Discipline which they rely on to do
all kinds of defensive maneuvers and dodges. A caredul balance of Hatred and
Discipline is the only way they can survive.

To Top
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attributes of the Demon Hunter

The attributes of a Demon Hunter are similar to that of a Monk. They have

MONK

In the Land of Unholy Monsters and Dread, the Monks stand out as holy warriors
who are guided by the divine energy channeling through their body. Although
a Monk is known to be peaceful and serene, the Monks of this world are
considered Sacred Warriors. They can control Divine Power through the force
of their Will. Experienced Monk can even heal themselves and cast Mantras of
Protection against the scourge of the land.

Although not as powerful as the Barbarians, the Monks can still deliver
devastating attacks thanks to their Spirits and they are focused primarily on
Melee Combat. The Monks are also capable of delivering waves of elemental
power which have enough power to deliver area of effect fatalities.

The power of a Monk comes from Spirit and like the Barbarians, as they make
successful attack, their Spirit Energy builds up making them capable of doing
outstanding maneuvers. They also chain together attacks which can result in
devastating endings and unique effects. Another special ability of a Monk is
to manifest the force of their Spirit and projecting it outwards thus allowing
them to cast powerful Mantras capable of Potent Healing, granting them long-
lasting power of even strengthen themselves and any nearby allies.

The Monks also possess and unequal and superior mobility on the battlefield
allowing them to land lightning strikes and even dodging enemies - which the
Monk can do better than any other class.

To Top
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resource: Spirit

Through years of training, Monks gain a certain Mastery over their own
physical being thus allowing them to draw out their inner reserves of Spirit
to defeat the evil forces they face.

The primary source which fuels all of the Monk's Skills is the Spirit which
they can replenish in tow ways. Using certain skills allows the Monk to
regenrate Spirit and also, upon completion of successful combos. It is also
said that an extremely skillful Monk can make an endless barrage of continuous
strikes on their Spirit Energy.

Although the Monk's do not need their Spirit to slay the lesser evils that
roam the land, they can still call upon large reserves of their energy to
summon forth potent dodges and also extremely damaging powers.

Also, since the Spirit energy is the Monk's soul power itself, they are not
hurt or exausted by over usage and do not need any cooldown. Their spirit
pool is at 150 initially and can go upto 250 upon using certain skills.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attributes of the Monk

The monk is not as powerful as the Barbarian nor as intelligent as the Wizard.
But the Primary attribute of the Monk is his Dexterity. His strength and
Intelligence reach a max of 67 and his Vitality to 127. The Monk's Dexterity
goes to 187 at lvl 60. So, the Monk cannot weild heavy armour like the
Barbarian but because of their high dexterity, they do not need to, as their
dodging capabilities are unrivalled.

WIZARD

The story of a Wizard is one of a rebel and nearly an outcast. They are
renegades who can store tremondous Arcane Powers within their bodies unlike
other magic users like the sorcerers who choose a safer way. Their attitude not
only causes them to have far superior and greater destructive powers than their
counterparts, but it also allows them the flexibility to control and
demonstrate a skillful and fearful mastery over all elements. It is also said
that more experienced Wizards can even bend the very fabric of time and also
manipulate light itself.

When they are not casting their powers, Wizards use Wands and Staves just to
stay put of harm's way till they can muster up enough energy to finally
disintegrate their opponents. Even though they have a few Close ranged skills,
Wizards are well-suited to use their more extensive long-ranged powers.

The pool of a Wizard's control extends to all elements including Flames,
Lightning, Ice and great Whirlwinds thus granting them unequal might over the
weakeness of all enemies they face. Wizards are especially attuned to
destroying large hordes of enemies over an area and even though they do not
have the strength to wear heavy armour, they can still cloak themselves in
powerful defensive magic.

To Top

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resource: Arcane Power

The body of a Wizard courses with Arcane Power - their primary resource. The
energy they can store within themselves is amazingly intense and they can use
their abilities as if they were mere extensions to their bodies.

Arcane Power is such that it regeneraes itself at a much higher rate than any
other resource of any class and to a further extent, it is also possible for
them to cast their lesser abilities for very long periods of time, virtually
never exausting their vast pool of energy.

The Greater Wizards are capable of more potent and powerful skills such as
conjuring lightning storms and metors but such powefull spells wear them out
because of which they have to endure a cooldown time before they can cast again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attributes of the Wizard

The Primary attribute of a Wizard is their Intelligence which is the greatest
among all classes, thus reaching a level of 187 by the time they reach lvl 60.
And Vitality is just as important and it rises by two points every level to
reach a max of 127 - just as much as the Barbarian's. Strength and Dexterity
are not the strong points of a Wizard; Rising by one point every level to a
max of 67, because of which they are unable to weild Heavy Armor and are prone
to taking damage because their dodge scores will be less too.

To Top

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WIZARD DEVELOPMENT STYLE

This is the development style only for your first playthrough - till you reach
level 31.

Skill 1 - Spectral Blade

The spectral blade skill allows you to summon a magic blade which will do a
damage of 135% of weapon damage (the highest of all primary skills) to all

A beam of frozen Ice balsts the target for 215% weapon damage as Cold and
slows the target by 30% for 3 secs.

Skill 3 - Teleport

One of the best skills in the game, this baility allows th Wizard to teleport
to any location upto 35 yards away.

The rune Safe Passage which allows you to shrug off 30% of the damage is a
further addition to your defensive capabilities.

Skill 4 - Blizzard

The Blizzard is the best of the secondary defensive abilities again single
powerful targets - although it is recommended to use the Energy Twister if
you are facing multiple enemies.

Skill 5 - Storm Armor

You can shock your attackers with 70% of weapon damage incurred as lightning.

Te only rune you can unlock by lvl 31 is Reactive Armor.

Skill  6 - Archon

Possibly the best of a Wizard's skills. This ability allows you to transform
into a being of pure Arcane Energy for 15 secs and all your abillites are
replaced by powerful versions of Arcon abilities. Your armour will also be
increased by 40% and each enemy you kill in this form will add to the time
you can stay in this form by 1sec.

Decreases only melee damage by 20%.
