Classes
Pick a path, then bend it with loot. Type /class to open the class picker. Each class has an active skill: hold a weapon and press F, or use /cs.
Warden
Plate, shields and taunts. Hold the line while bosses break on you.
Active skill: Shield Slam
Ranger
Bows, traps and speed. Mark the target, kite it, finish it.
Active skill: Trail Volley
Runesage
Rune magic fuelled by Ability Power. Turn cooldowns into burst.
Active skill: Rune Nova
Berserker
Axes, lifesteal and rage. The lower your health, the harder you hit.
Active skill: Ash Rush
Builds come from loot
Your class sets the role; your gear sets the build. Affixes such as Lifesteal, Crit Chance, Boss Damage, Cooldown Reduction, Ability Power, Strength, Attack Speed, Mana Regen, Thorns and Salvage Luck roll on every drop, and the four armor sets add 2, 3 and 4-piece bonuses on top.
- Berserker loves Lifesteal and Attack Speed, because low health means more damage.
- Runesage scales with Ability Power and Cooldown Reduction.
- Warden benefits from Thorns and the Ironveil Bulwark set.
- Ranger wants Crit Chance to finish targets from range.
Which class for beginners?
The Warden is the most forgiving in delves, and the Ranger is great for solo players who like to stay at range. Everything is free: there are no ranks, perks or loot boxes for sale, every item is earned in the world.
