Alright so your new and you just started Diablo 2:
Well Here is the guide for beginners
The controls are at the bottom
Chapter 1:Introduction (make a private game btw)
First of all you should look through all your skills first.
Then decide what you want to become...Of Course you need to google the builds but you need to figure out what you want to become. Their are many Godly characters and theirs no such thing as "The Best Character."
Chapter 2:Getting started
Ok so now you have your build but you hear of these wierd names for gear...Do not panic...You will not be a god when you start but lets move on.... First u need to get used to the game.... Maybe explore the town or go outside and kill some monsters...But their will be other people with a exclamation mark over their head.....That means they have a quest for you. Go over their and click them and they will tell you a story about their quest and tell you where its at. Now you have to find where it is at and do what the quest asks you to do....
Chapter 3:What rushing/grushing means
Rush:
Ok so you hear of this word "Rush"....This means someone will kill the last quests for you without doing the primary quests...(Act 3 you have to do the 2nd to last quest)and they will go all the way to Act5 and they will stop....That is what a basic rush pretty much is..
Grush:
This is a glitched rush...Its the same thing accept you have to be anywhere from lvl 1-24 and they will get someone that hasnt done the baal quest and kill baal for them...Then you get the quest and you go on to the Nightmare....But the reason why its glitched is because you cant get the baal quest under lvl25....
