from someone who has sank more hours into this game than I should. 1) vendors can sometimes sell high ilvl 4/4 rolled gear. I have a 795+25 neckless i got from a vendor that was a perfect 4/4 roll with above 50% in each affix. 2) if you are just getting into wt4 and you are high 50 or low 60. whisper tree, legion, and world boss. legions will 99% of the time be 3 chest, world boss rarely survives longer than 20 seconds, and whisper dungeons are still easy to do while getting better gear and mountains of xp. After leveling a few times try a 21 nm dungeon, the lowest wt4 offers. if you clear it then you are good to spam those and pick up events and helltides as you want. 3) don't be afraid to upgrade your gear to max -1 as the resources required are so plentiful later you wont know what to do with them and once you hit mid/late 70 you'll have millions of gold just languishing away. 4) play in a group, even if you don't have friends. when you go to a legion event or a world boss, either start inviting randoms into the party or ask if someone wants to party for xp bonuses. enemies will have the same amount of health as they normally would but you are getting shared xp plus a bonus. 5) the upgraded tinctures/potions aren't really worth the increased cost and materials. sure 5% increased crit strike and 30% increased crit damage sounds nice but you can only craft maybe 3 of those while crafting the very basic one you could craft 20 or 30 of meaning a lot more xp over a much longer time. ALWAYS INCREASE YOUR HEALTH POT 6) 1-50 is your introduction to the game and your class, 50-70 is your testing ground for your build, 70-100 is you farming 3/4 ancestral bis and unique and aspects to bring it to its full potential, dont be frustrated if you arent getting amazing rolls on aspects and gear, you will throw away thousands of pieces and eventually find that one piece that is just perfect. 7) if you are going to push for uber Lillith and nm tier 100 realize that those are two different monsters typically. most of lilliths attacks will osk (one shot kill) you so you abandon all defense and go pure glass cannon offense. NM dungeons are different, you will need a solid mix of defense and offense to be able to push those 80+ tiers. 8) learn about break points and damage buckets. the highest breakpoint at the time is ilvl 725+ so anything 705+ un-upgraded will reach that threshold for huge damage/armor gains, pushing for 800+ is massive min/max and only applies to really late game fights. damage buckets are things like damage to skills are additive on the same gear piece while things like vulnerability damage crit damage and overpower damage are multiplicative damage. do your best to avoid stacking to much of a single bucket in a single gear piece. For example, a piece of gear that says: X damage to close, x damaged to cc, x damage to slowed, x crit damage will perform far and away WORSE than something that says x crit damage, x vuln damage, x damage to cc, x damage. 9) you can T or down on D pad out of a nm dungeon and get a full reheal and go back in from the teleport and pick up where you left off. Don't be afraid to test your limits down to your last health pot, after you kill the adds, fall back a little to safety, port out and come back in. no shame in living then dying 4 times and failing out of the dungeon. 10) level your glyphs on your paragon, 15 is first marker as it gives a huge radius buff but beyond 15 they increase the bonus in small increments to lvl 21. this can be a massive amount of damage. Exploit starts at 3% per 5 and finishes at around 3.85% per 5, sounds small but this is a pretty chunky increase to damage. 11) a min roll aspect from the book is better than no aspect at all. just because it isnt a perfect roll, which you should save for your best ancestral items unless you get duplicates, doesnt mean it isnt worth it. Put the min roll on your gear if you can unlock it from a dungeon. Especially an aspect like disobedience, its better to have a min roll than no roll of it. 12) piggy backing of number 9, dont be afraid to burn potions like a mad person in fights, enemies drop them by the tons and you often get them from chests, if you find yourself high and dry and in an injured status just fast port out, heal and restock, and come back in. 13) if you need just a little bit more of a stat to get a glyph on your paragon board look into essences at the apothecary, she sells one essence for every major stat and can push you over the edge you may need to activate a node on your paragon board and the passive bonus does stack with potions. 14) you can craft a large chunk of crafting materials at the apothecary, even silver ore. 15) if you only have one toon i suggest selling twice and salvaging once till you get to a place where you no longer are farming for straight upgrade but instead are farming for 3/4 rolls. then switch to purely selling as rerolling for a perfect item can eat millions of a gold very quickly. personal record is 60 million gold total to roll a single stat on an off hand totem. 16) EDIT- nm and helltides are great for leveling as the enemies will always be +2 your level at least. at 2 levels below enemies youre getting around 25% increased xp and at 10 lvl below enemies you are getting around 35% increased xp. so find where you can clear fast and not nearly die every pull while pushing enemy levels as high as you can. note, 95 is the highest overwold enemy level you can find outside of helltides and nm dungeons. so if you get that far once you hit 96 you will be actively loosing xp without doing one of those 2 things.

Another helpful tip: For certain classes on certain gear it is very difficult to get specific affixes on items due to the large pool it is pulling from (i.e necro and rings). Necromancer has a HUGE pool of affixes it can get while rolling rings. To make things easier you can transfer the ring to a barbarian alt (who only has 4 class specific affixes for rings) and try rolling the enchant on there. As long as the affix you are rolling for isn't class specific, this can save you tons of time and money.

Everyone is so fixated on getting to the end as fast as possible...for what, for those same people to complain about a lack of endgame, its comical. Slow down and enjoy the game.

I like that you encouraged people to post tips in the comments. I usually go to the comment section on guide videos for that exact reason so it's good to hear someone facilitating it

Solid points here. However, i did the Tier 4 capstone dungeon earlier than i should have and i felt SEVERELY handicapped going into world tier 4. I even found myself returning to tier 3 just so i could level up some more to even be able to run tier 4 to get better loot.

Thank you. I was stacking the + dmg to chilled /frozen ,+ Burning etc.. replaced them with critical damage increase,critcal strike increase and vulnerable damage increase along with primary stat increase . This definitey improved my damage output !Thanks

For all my Necros - there's an aspect that gives you a barrier whenever bone storm hits an enemy. It's pretty op

World tier 4 will be tough in the first couple of hours but it will get better. Definitely run legion events as the higher level players will help carry you. Once you get a few ancestral gear it will be much easier. What shocked me was my first tier 4 world boss. There was a few lvl 100’s in the instance. The smoked the word boss before I could pop off 2 spells. Literally within 10 seconds. Have fun all

I might have missed it, but it’s worth noting that you can collect Abberant Cinders in WT3, but turn them in on WT4. I do this currently, since I have a hard time surviving in WT4, and you lose half your Cinders when you die.

My biggest tip if you want to complete renown like all side dungeons and statues. Just drop to world tier 1 run fast and don’t care about loot. This will unlock all codex of power for all classes plus all the paragon.

I'm a super casual....and really appreciate the simplicity of your explanations ....I've been getting my ass kicked in T4.... I'm a rouge... gonna watch this again while addressing my gear!

Can't make these mistakes if we can't log in.

Something people forget on creating mule characters for storage relief is besides the 33 normal inventory slots you get, you also get 22 aspect slots.

You dont need to go to WT4 before 65. I went to WT4 at 59 and wasted my time with deaths and non completion of activities. You still progress faster if you can grind WT3 content with ease as long as you focus on nightmare dungeons. Leeching off higher leveled players on legion events and world bosses are not an efficient use of your time. They come once every 2 hours, in that time span an average player should have finished 8-10 dungeon runs instead which is a much much better xp grind

Extremely helpful! Thank you. Felt a little lost after the campaign, then started doing helltides, died a few times, then found new gear, and now I’m able to take on multiple elites and take down bosses! Luckily found a lot of armor sacred uniques and gonna start leveling those glyphs.

The best Diablo content for a casual like me wanting to learn more that I have seen on the Internet. Organized and spoken. Easy to understand. Thank you!

This is completely unrelated, but I just wanted to say I just finished the Campaign and I'm thoroughly impressed. No, really. Not only do I have OCPD but I have a big nostalgia for the Blizzard North days. I went into the Campaign, soaking it all in. Don't know if it was because I took "breaks" doing world quests (I also love the open world system) but I absorbed all of it. And it's good. It's all actually _really_ good I dare say. I just want to say this because I want to thank and show appreciation for something well done. I think the story is great and the dialogues are masterful and my character fit so extremely well with "me" in the whole thing. I don't know if it's because I had so low expectations after Diablo III (it's not horrible... but it's "meh" :| ) but again, very pleasantly surprised and left an impression. Profound at times, even. But that may just be because of me. Still, good job and thank you Blizzard team!

The max evade stack is one of the best survivability affixes on this game i recon. Wich you get on the boots. Just being able to evade 2-3 times in succession is game changing.

Dude the crowd control gems actually make so much sense thanks, hardest part of a nightmare is getting 6-7 elites all with different crowd control skills making you stuck in one spot

As others have said here, the advice “get to W4 asap” isn’t helpful. The 50-70 range is probably the toughest in the game when you move up. If you could mow this content down with your gear, you wouldn’t be watching this video. This needed to talk about how to farm gear where you can beat mobs 20 levels higher than you.

Thank you for the tips. Honest suggestion : Make some headliners for each tip or add time tags so that we don't have to listen/watch the all video to know all the things probably everybody already know.

As a WereBear Tank, I feel so validated. I'm wrecking everyone and laughing at my enemies when they hit me

Really great explanations and video! I've been following you for many years and I cannot believe how much you've grown in your execution! Thanks for all you do for us!

Yeah i am lvl 65 ice shard sorc and was breezing through almost all of t3. I too thought I was ready but Elias violently disagreed and now, after 30+ deaths, I am still at t3.

So turns out. if you greet, thank, and wave goodbye to the Whispering Tree each visit, you start getting chaos box as a fixed option...

Haven't seen it mentioned much. When farming renown, change to T1 to speed through dungeons untouched.

One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen yet. Thank you

Grinding experience in one place over and over again, no matter how effective it is and no matter which game you play, it's the fastest way to get bored with the title.

I'm new and I'm level 55 and I've been making all these mistakes. Thankfully I still got time to right the ship. Thanks for the advice.

The 756 max life on the pants is crazy

Do not try capstone at 60 if u are new. Get at least 65. The boss basically one shots u at lower levels and it’s really just a waste of time, I was there and burnt all the adds in the way to the boss and had no chance on the boss.

Diablo 4 isn't really clear on how to do things. I know a lot of people who thought that once you clear a dungeon, you just get that ability as a passive. And I'm at level 50 and I have no idea what you're talking about as far as world tiers. I'm still in the same place where I started. Am I supposed to go to a new harder location?

Makes sense to put the disobedience aspect on an amulet for extra 50%. Also dodge chance is underrated imo.

I have a sorcerer build with lucky hit and high defensive skill and high offensive in my blizzard. I have the spawn ice spikes legendary aspect and I literally feel like a boss all the time. I have high damage to frozen and chilled enemies and I don’t ever really have a problem with anything. I think it’s pretty nice, plus my ice armor is pretty high, teleport is pretty high with a low cooldown, and my freeze is high. Most enemies don’t even make it to me before getting frozen or chill damaged to death. I also have a legendary spect for a barrier that spawns when hitting a elite enemy or boss so half the time I’m barriered up not taking any damage too

Lucky Ghost, saving me in ESO for years and now also Diablo IV 😆

Don't forget elixirs! Easy to do and very helpful!

This was by-far the best video I've watched on DIV so far. Lots of actionalble helpful advice. Thanks a ton!

Great content. Informative and concise. Gained loads of knowledge. I have been playing tier 2 and I am level 54! Might try and bump up to tier 3 at sooner rather than later.

Every RU-vidr - "Just do the level 70 dungeon at level 60 it's easy."

Good tips :) one thing, I don't think 5 topazes actually add up to 50% DR. If I'm not mistaken, if you have 5 times 10% DR, the game actually takes 10% off the damage, then takes 10% off the remainder and does that 3 more times. So 5 x 10% DR actually comes to about 41% reduction (0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 = 0.59, so 59% of the original damage remaining).

I jumped into my friends game World tier 3 after a couple nights off due to work. They were doing the capstone dungeon so I basically got into world tier 4. Then they pushed me through another dungeon on World tier 4 now I’m level 56 with a bunch of locked level 60 gear 😂

Aspects are not affected by item tier (sacred, ancestral). Some aspects are affected by item level, but most are not. Saying Aspects are more likely to roll max just because they are ancestral is misinformation and there is no evidence to substantiate this claim.

Word of warning for those trying to enjoy the game: I got to world tier 4 at late 60s and it's kind of a pain. Ancestral nightmare dungeons start with lvl tier 21 which is lvl 74-76 enemies. I spend way more time in dungeons now so basically it would've been the same time played if I waited until I was the right level.. unless I did meta builds which aren't as fun for some people.

Good video, Tier IV really being a major boost to gear is super important and it feels like you wasted so much time messing around in Tier 3 hunting for things only to realize there are much larger upgrades to be have at IV. Obviously not to say you should beat your head against wall as a level 50 in that capstone dungeon solo, but definitely not a bad idea to take on the challenge if you have the gear and ability to make it happen sooner than later.

Good video, but a bit misleading about the rolls. Each aspect has 1 roll. If there are two rollable stats, their values will both reflect the single roll. Ie if you get a 1-10s boost on a cooldown reduction and get a 7, you will also see a corresponding roll on the other stat that reflects the 70 percentile of that stat's range (i.e 10-60% would be a 45%).

For Numeric Aspects (eg: barrier) upgrade the item to max before u extract to increase its value

Very helpful info vs the defensive aspects, bcus ive been shooting for raw power. You got my sub

Great video Lucky! Would you mind doing one explaining the Paragon board in detail? I'm approaching level 50 and don't understand how the Paragon board works at all, since this is essentially my first Diablo game.

"Upgrade anxiety" : I've never heard of that term or played any Diablo games before this one, but I understood what you meant by that IMMEDIATELY! I have a lvl 81 Necro

bruh...here i thought i had to wait till 70...like my build can handle 10 above my level already. Need to get grooving on these tips!

Is completing a LVL70 Dungeon possible while LVL60? The advice here does basically seem "get boosted"

so your saying this old guy grinding it out at 58 still in WT1 is a basic waste of time...I miss Atari somedays

It's actually 25 and not 20 paragon points... 20 from renown, 4 from altars of Lilith and 1 from actually getting to lvl50 which is so massive and let's you almost finish the starting board right at the get go!

Oh sick! its cool to see an Ever Legion ad instead of RAID for once.

AS a Barbarian I found two items that pretty much makes me unkillable. Im level 50 now and last time I died... I was level 23. The more enemies attack me at the same time, the less chance I have of dying. Its AMAZING. BTW the only thing that kills me is the "server disconnection". 😂 😂

personally I was one shotted too much even with 3 defensive aspects at 60 in wt4, I went back to wt3 and completed all renown to level 5 and went back at 66, this took less time because each dungeon only took a couple of minutes and the 20 extra paragon points was quite a power spike. I also found that in wt4 that the CC chains are a lot more common, so the suggestion to get the gems that reduce damage while CC'ed is great advice unless you are running a build that never gets cc'ed

Lol wtf... I'm lvl 64 barb... I die instantly on t3 capstone.. This video: First thing you wanna do, go to t4. Me: Ya ok thaaaanks.. That'll be easy 😂😂

I suggest recording your webcam separately when you're making videos (not streaming), the cuts are a little jarring when you're looking at the game footage

I'm sure as a RU-vidr with 154k subs, you know a lot, however, why would someone go fight level 70+ mobs at level 60? Most people who are playing are not going to do that as they will die a lot. Even someone who I'd say is one tier up from casual, I'm not going to do that.

Obols become cash dumps in late game for those who need the coin. The easiest way to make gold is to sell items. And obols gives plenty of legendaries. Don't underestimate how much that gear sells for. It is by far the biggest way to get coin when you need it.

Now I understand my issues with world tier 3... Thank you for this very good video

I’ll be honest I thought it was a good idea also but the truth is if your playing solo it’s insanely hard. I got to world tier 4 at level 60 rogue. And i couldn’t do any dungeons or some events. I went around doing the tree of whispers and just the open world to get ancestral gear. Now I’m back in world tier 3 doing nightmares so I can level up and get some paragon upgrades. Because no way in hell I can beat level 75 mobs in nightmare dungeons in world tier 4.

Save your strongholds for WT4. The mobs will always be just 2 levels higher than you, no matter which tier you take them in. So if you get to WT4 early and want to get some early ancestral gear, strongholds are the easiest path. That is my only tip.

The shield aspect, forged with a Mass Fortify System is God tier if you have a high attack speed, ran 2 aspects for a 100% buff to attack speed with a 6k dmg shield and around 80% fortify generation and basically couldn’t die!!

I spend a lot of time in WT3 even close to level 80 for when I want to grind for items. Grind for high number affixes or aspects, gold, components, etc.

Im far behind because of little time, but ive followed preferred stats as much as possible on gear. Third tier has been silly easy on my pulverize druid.

Probably one of the most informative videos for Diablo 4 that's out there. Nice work!

This just shows me at level 53 I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing! Love this game, so much to learn great video.

You earned a follow for sure. You broke it down to molecules

I'm sure someone else said this already but I'll say it again. The ultra rares can only drop from lvl 85+ mobs. Not that it'll matter anyway.

Question: playing sorcerer focused on ice build and I freeze/crowd control mobs. My main weapon has high damage stats against both vulnerable and crowd controlled enemies. I assume the damage boost against crowd controlled is exponential with the vulnerable damage boost?

Had a lvl 64 necro ask for help on the wt4 dungeon, I was a lvl 56 charged bolt sorc. Took 30 minutes but the dude was chill. Jumped into wt4 and holy hell I have to use every ability/potion just to stay alive again an elite pack

Appreciate the advice! I'm new to Diablo and have never played the previous games so I've been confused lol. This is helpful

Trying to group with players in D4 is like trying to paint with spork.

Really good video man. Some valid points and players should take note n help themselves! Even 1 I didn’t know lol. Gg

Should I do renown before world tier 4 for the paragon points? Do you unlock renown and legendary aspect by clearing a nightmare dungeon, where you have never been before?

Healing while attacking + healing while many enemies are near + healing while not attacked is my way to go. Who needs healing potions

Glass cannon necro 4tw. Forget your defense and health. If your minions live forever, just hide in the back, grab a coffee, then come back and loot the corpses.

I use the Disobedience Aspect with caltrops, I throw caltrops and then dodge in with grenades, instant armor boost before Im in the thick of it.

I’m still world tier 1 at lvl 50, I’m guessing I should bump it up?

This was very informative, and I got lucky and found this at just the right time. Appreciate you!

perhaps the single best piece of gear i got whilst i was in later game was a necklace from a side quest it had 1610 max life. So paired with the barrier he mentioned for helm and armour aspect on chest ive rarely died in teir 4 at level 76 even in NM lvl 35 dungeons

This all sounds amazing. I am level 53 and playing it by ear on how to level up and put my points. I also haven't gotten one insanely powerful anything that one used to get at my level. No one clans anymore, which leads to really cool drops some would give you. I ma close to not playing this game anymore because one has to buy the coolest skins and such also.

For some rando comments on the reddit i was waiting to hit 70 before doing cap dungeon. Thanks to your video I am breezing through it at 66!

I just did my first nightmare dungeon and I'm level 52 nacro, did it solo.. was HARD! I'm using bone build. Bone storm being my main damage dealer, need to get the cooldown sorted, my corpse explosion is great. Just hard solo that's all.

Great video, very helpful for me, as I'm lvl 52 and just finished the campaign. I think I'll finish off the statues before going into wt3, then I'll finish off the rest of the renown there.

You can gamble ancestral, but they rotate wich can drop, you need to check wich type of gear can drop ancestral on the gamble guy and if not something that you need, just wait for the rotation to change

say your pants didn't have +756 life but a pair drops that does have it with pretty much same attribute but you lose 100 armor, which are you going to pick

Not the knowledge I want, the knowledge I need. TY

I recently got my sorcerer to WT4 and I will tell you there is a big difference in difficulty. I had it easy as a sorcerer in WT3; you won't in WT4. Also note that sorcerer, once you get your special gear (gear with the abilites you only get from RNG), is practically immortal until WT4 where you will die frequently. Considering that, do you really think you need to rush to WT4? I think not. Stay in WT3 as long as you need to, in order to get your special gear; and when things get too easy, then move to WT4. Things got too easy for my sorc around level 58. I don't think that will happen with any other class. Maybe druid.

In T4 difficulty, most bosses can 1 hit kill u if u dont have 6k+ armor. I have like 8k armor and still gets 1 shot in some battles by elite bosses.

most danger when you are crowd controlled? disagree, players can break cc with abilities that make them unstoppable, bigger danger comes from getting 1 shot offscreen. rubies help against that more.

What level are you supposed to be at by the time you finish the story of the game? I just hit level 50, and havent even finished Act 2 yet.

I'm a level 74 sorcerer I went to the fractured Peaks in the dungeon did not get that piece of armor I got taken out way too easily and I was running torment 4

I saw a video by Veritas detailing everything about gear and he said that Sacreds with 725+ power have a chance to roll max affixes too and could have endgame potential

Would it be better right after finishing campaign and hitting lvl 50 to grind out the renown/Lilith statues/discover locations/etc all in world tier 1? Then jump to WT3 afterwards? I'm new to ARPGS and learning all this for the first time.

Currently finishing off my renown at lvl 66

Really good tips on this one. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the guide! I'm level 49 on my first char so perfect timing. Should I go ahead and use the aspects I've gathered to help me on the push to 70+ for ancestral? I have that upgrade anxiety you described because I have horrible RNG luck in every game (while my friends always get the best stuff easy) and am worried to not be able to get them again, but I also don't want to stay stuck in underpowered gear just to keep the aspect if it's not worth it. I'm getting so few good aspects some of my gear is probably 5+ levels old at this point
