Im completely new to Diablo, never played a single game before. Diablo 4 is downloading and I’ve searched the entirety of YouTube for a new-player-friendly guide and finally found it here. Thanks!

By the way i don't know if you know, but for everyone landing on this video a small tip. You don't need to reskill the entire tree to swap skills. Just get a skill point and invest it into the new skill you want and then you can sell part of the old skill and put it into the new one over and over until you got your skills you want (might save some money).

Bro. Nearly 50 minutes of your time and I can't say thank you enough. I played Diablo 3 for YEARS, paid for the Beta for D4 and thought I'd have it down. I was wrong. You have really helped me out with pretty much everything I wasn't sure of. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work :)

[Ryzzingsun]

The BEST Diablo IV beginner guide I have watched. I didn't feel overwhelmed. I haven't played a Diablo game in almost 20 years and I found this straight forward, easy to follow, and direct to the key points. You did a fantastic job on this guide! Definitely subscribing for more :)

[ChaosRaych]

Thanks so much for putting this together! I've played all the previous Diablo games, but it's always best to gain a bit of insight before jumping in head first. I especially appreciate the World Tier 1 tip. I initially selected WT2, but you make a great point about TTK vs XP gained. Good looking out 😎👍

i’m jumping into the game this weekend and have been watching a bunch of videos to get me prepped so I don’t feel completely overwhelmed, and this was the most informative one I’ve found so far. A lot of the other videos are good, but gloss over a lot of the terminology so I still felt lost. I’m a casual gamer and this video was super easy to digest, and really helped break down the more complex elements so now I’m feeling fairly confident about getting a decent start. Cheers!

A small tip to reduce the traveling back and forth is to put gems you find into socketed items to save inventory space. Then you can just aalvage the item and the gem is released. Or if you decide you want to use the item, removing gems is cheap.

Your tip on building the skills is going to save me a lot of time. Thank you. I was not understanding the layout.

[gdo]

Thank you E, still trying to puzzle this in. But always nice to get some pointers❤

[colebenman]

Ebontis, seeing you do any guides for this is great. A nice bonus for us Destiny players that love your D2 guides 😊

[EldeonROSE]

The most detailed and easy to understand guide that ive watched. Did not even noticed this vid was almost an hour away.

[microsep]

very helpful and easy to understand as a noob to these games, tried watching some other videos and just got overwhelmed so thank you!

[Amloki]

Great vid appreciate it as always.. One thing that I might have missed and might be helpful to others who like me did a DOH! moment.. Assign proper weapons to your Basic and Core skill.. I struggled for days just clearing trash mobs until i realize you can switch/assign weapons. ( I.E.) -- ON PC for me its " Y ".. i assigned 'Lunging strike' to my dual wielding weapons and "Hammer ofT Ancients" to my two handed mace and 'Death Blow' to a Sword.. Life become so much easier after that, basic skill hit so much faster generating fury so much :)

[donyunchulkim]

Tip: when using a ranged attack like puncture hold shift to stay stationary and prevent moving toward the target.

[raphael]

I just started playing (xbox Gamepass) and this is still the best beginners guide I found. All the others jump straight into high levels when a newbie like me don't even know what to keep, what to salvage, what to sell, when to upgrade... the very basics. This video was a great help! You made this very overwhelming game an enjoyable "new player experience".
Thank you very much for your time! 🙂

[steviewatt]

just started playing diablo 4 , never played any other diablo games this has been very helpful thank you

[medgrip]

I think you can scrap gear w/ gems in it to get them back free.

[yuki-manthonee]

Thanks for the tips. Super helpful suggestions to keep in mind! Made my first run fun to experiment.

[davehoweth]

I've played all diablo games and still hammering away on my lvl 100 barb and know everything about the game, despite already seeing this I watched it again just because I enjoy the way you explained everything, so even tho I wasn't gaining any further info on a video designed for that reason, I still just enjoyed watching again. You should make some lore videos or anything diablo related and I'd watch it for sure

[brittcoon]

Thank you for making this video! I learned so much which I will start applying to my D4 gaming experience.
