Hey Diablo 4 is my first ever Diablo. I was reading the tips and tricks post earlier. I have some questions? 1). How big of a difference does starting in world tier 2 compared to world tier 1 ? 2). “Someone said if I just only complete the campaign I would be under leveled by level 50” Just looking for a optimized way to level. 3). Do I keep completing side quest and campaign to drop better loot for later or should I look up a specific dungeon for my character?

Thanks and sorry if my question are to noobish haha

    I keep hearing optimized is staying in WT1. That said, I’ve found WT2 more fun/challenging and would recommend for the first play-though. Plenty of time to go the “fast” route in future seasons, but that’s just my opinion.

        Rogue here, lvl 36 atm. I’ll say that with my build (enjoying the content, picking what sounds cool and “like my character would be”, not at all by any hard number analysis) WT2 has been really fun until I fight dungeon bosses, several of which (Blood Bishop 2, I’m looking at you) utterly murdered me.

        For reference, I’ve beaten all but one of the major Elden Ring bosses (the king dragon), so it’s not about just being terrible at games or anything. And also this isn’t to say I finished ER with any skill or style, just a sort of benchmark.

        So I guess I’m saying WT2 is mostly fine and fun but maybe ramps up in a way that starts to feel a little punishing to a casual, “enjoying the atmosphere and world” play style.

        Maybe this is good because it forces me to think about things like elixirs and how my gear actually helps me win fights. Anyway. Hope this helps. 🍻

        Also playing Druid, lvl 35 at the moment. Haven’t had too many problems myself, certainly challenging and forces you to think about gearing beyond “just use the highest ilvl”. But I’ve also play a lot of Diablo 2/3 so that helps.

          WT2 is not impossible for druid. It just felt very slow and clunky for me. That’s why I stayed on WT1 for the whole campaign. I’m a D2 Veteran myself, but to be honest, I don’t want to grind that hard anymore. Maybe getting old…
