OP
Well, I just completed act 2 and im sat at level 23, was actually really rough finishing this act, died a couple of times but i'm unsure if its because im under levelled or just bad haha.
Probably the beetles Charged Bolt, poison damage from the mummies and areas like the maggot lair and Arcane Sanctuary can make A2 a bit rough when first starting the game.Felsyn wrote: 3 years ago Well, I just completed act 2 and im sat at level 23, was actually really rough finishing this act, died a couple of times but i'm unsure if its because im under levelled or just bad haha.

Although, most people find Act 2 enjoyable compared to Act 3... xD

OP
I only died when facing the boss before meeting Tyrael in the tomb. He 2/3 shot my mercenary and then I ran out of pots!
I did really enjoy the act, cool story line and some great looking zones. I'm considering going back to the tower in act one to farm some runes, is this a worth while exercise whilst gaining some additional levels for act 3?

Oh it was just Duriel? should've known. He is the destroyer of new player dreams. I guess i didn't think of him right off the bat because of the PTSD he's given me. Its better to forget...

Corpse running to get slowed and re-killed.... twice. And then he died to a DoT effect whilst I was dead so am sure I didn't even get the XP drop from him D:I guess i didn't think of him right off the bat because of the PTSD he's given me

OP
Yeah it was the first challenging part of D2 so far for me! It's got me contemplating whether to do some grinding before going into act 3 or not.

Since you are already 23+, I don't recommend grinding Act 2. IMO, the game gives you enough experience just playing through it until you get to Nightmare. Then you probably want to grind Baal or Cows before progressing.
If you don't have Stealth yet, then it might be worth farming Countess to get it.

For MAXIMUM experience from monsters:
lvl 1 - 11 = Act 1
lvl 12 - 18 = Act 2
lvl 19 - 23 = Act 3

lvl 43 - 48 = Act 2 (nightmare)
lvl 49 - 52 = Act 3 (nightmare)

lvl 81 - 83 = Act 3 (Hell)

I've only got Steel at the moment, i looked at Stealth but thought it looks more appropriate for a caster not barb or am i wrong?eltair wrote: 3 years ago Since you are already 23+, I don't recommend grinding Act 2.

Stealth is great for anyone early game, including melee characters. The FRW and FHR are excellent stats. It's really hard to beat in early game. Better armors will come eventually, but i wouldn't discount it. If you're going pure melee you might not need the FCR, but the other stats make it worth it.
Ya but two things to keep in mind when it comes to XP farming:Felsyn wrote: 3 years ago Thanks for this! Looks like i'm already at the higher end for the act i've just started so i'll go get stuck in!![]()
1. if you look at the charts you still get great XP in previous act(s) even out of the "optimum" level range, so don't be afraid to hang out and over-level.
2. Getting 70% XP in a later Act will give you more overall XP than 99% in an earlier act. This is why people do Baal runs around lvl 25 despite only getting 67% of mob XP.
Typical Online Quick Leveling:
1-14 = Tristram Runs
14-20 = Tomb Runs
20-24ish = Cow Runs (or 22-30ish Chaos Runs)
25-40 = Baal Runs (N)
40-65 = Baal Runs (NM)
65+ = Baal Runs (H)
