Newbie Tips?

I'm a level 17 Shaman wanting to go into the Summoner archetype (great first class, heard it was the hardest one lol) not really sure what to do for my ability points. Should I keep evenly spreading them out? Try to focus on 1-2 stats after my other ones are high enough? Any other general tips unrelated to this question is appreciated as well! Trying to interact with the forums and understand the game better :D

 

Do every boss altar at level, they are fun and most people don't do them because they don't realize they exist

Also, summoner is one of the easiest archetypes, simply because of its power

 

Put your skill points into whatever you need to use your items and put the rest into defense because of the low base defense Shaman has

 

agree with above. Use intel too, spellspam is very powerful.

i recommend doing Tempo Town Trouble at lvl 25 and getting the tempo town relik as this weapon is very powerful, the challenges may be a little hard to do on level though

 

summoner is easy. nothing to really worry about.
acolyte is harder cause healing becomes a bit confusing ..

anyway if you're just starting out put your ability points to one sub-branch (in this case summoner) and it will work ok

items choise is imo more important than where you put your ability points
try to get mana regen when possible and xp bonus is always nice to have

 

I think I did at least one of those already, it was fun!! And thank god, good to hear I didn't screw myself early game by choosing something with a hard difficulty curve.

Yeah from a friend I heard I have low base defense, I've been keeping that up so that's good to hear!
