Diablo was the first game I ever bought for my perfoma Mac when I was a kid. I have played out each game since. I played the betas. I have reached a point where I do not know what to do.

I have not finished the campaign. In fact I haven’t even finished act III. Both my barbarian and sorceress have appeared to have reached a plateau at around level 35.

At around level 30, in world tier II, I started getting really terrible drops. Magic only, legendary that was worse that what I had. Finally around 35 for my sorceress and 37 with my barb, I got fed up with the terrible drops and just took the first positive change I found and went back out to see if this would yield better loot.

The first bear I meet I use all my health potions on. My attacks seem to take less health away. I finally make it to a dungeon. Can’t make it to the boss because I keep dying.

I figured I sold my sweet gear, let me just jump back to world tier I and grind till better loot falls. Bears still three hit me, and I still get crap loot.

I changed my skill load outs, made best use of the loot I got and continued to try and grind to get better loot. I still only got magic and crap legendary.

What am I supposed to do at this point? I can’t make it to a dungeon to fight a dungeon boss without having to TP back to replenish my potions a half dozen times. Can’t move the campaign forward, simple crowd of minions melt me in a second. Monsters don’t even drop health globes. Am I just supposed to start a new character and hope I don’t repeat this same mistake again? How are you supposed to recover from a mistake like that?

    if you have no gear and are kinda stuck at the moment why dont you group up with a friend and do a few dungeons by just running behind them. then as soon as you have a few rares it should be better again with survivability.

    i played my main sorcerer to 80 without any problem at any point but to be fair i did spend maybe half of the time in a group with friends. Then i played a Barb mostly solo till 50, again without any problems. i found it even easier since i had almost all codex-aspects unlocked from my main and could just slap an aspect on every item without much problems. Again i understand this is probably different for you with your main only reaching 35.

    If you want, write me a message with your diablo names and i add you as a friend and we can group up a bit.
