Skill Progression (Simple Path)

Acts 1-3: Absolution

Tại sao Absolution:

• Tự cast → summon → minions đánh
• Không cần target corpses (khác spectre)
• AoE damage tốt cho packs
• 3.28 BUFF: +50% more damage cho empowered attack

Setup:

Absolution + Minion Damage Support + Melee Splash

Playstyle:

1. Cast Absolution vào pack enemies
2. Minions spawn → đánh enemies
3. Di chuyển đến pack tiếp theo
4. Repeat

Acts 4-7: Absolution + Zombies

Thêm Zombies:

• Permanent minions → không cần recast
• Meat shield → absorb damage
• Easy to maintain

Setup:

4-Link Absolution: Absolution + Minion Damage + Melee Splash + Spell Echo
4-Link Zombies: Raise Zombie + Minion Life + Meat Shield + Feeding Frenzy

Acts 8-10: Transition to Spectres (Optional)

Option 1: Stay with Absolution

• Absolution mạnh đến endgame trong 3.28
• Không cần switch nếu comfortable

Option 2: Transition to Spectres

• Lấy Raise Spectre gem level cao
• Farm Wretched Defilers từ Nightmare Maps sau campaign
• Hỏi /global 6666 cho spawn locations

Recommendation: Nếu bạn struggle với campaign → STAY with Absolution đến maps. Transition sau khi comfortable.

Survival Strategies

🛡️ Layered Defense

Layer 1: Minions (meat shield)
    ↓ Nếu minions die
Layer 2: Block (Bone Offering)
    ↓ Nếu block fails
Layer 3: Life Pool
    ↓ Nếu damage gets through
Layer 4: Flask

Setup mỗi zone:

1. Desecrate → tạo corpses
2. Bone Offering → gain block chance
3. Raise Zombie → tạo permanent minions
4. Cast Absolution → spawn temporary minions
5. Walk BEHIND minions

🧍 Positioning

QUAN TRỌNG NHẤT: Đứng sau minions

        [ENEMIES]
            ↓ attack
    [MINIONS] ← tank
        ↑
    [YOU] ← safe distance (2-3 screens)

Never:

• Đứng trước minions
• Face-tank bosses
• Đứng yên > 2 giây

🏃 Movement Rules

1. Di chuyển liên tục — không đứng yên
2. Circle around minions — không chạy thẳng vào enemies
3. Kite to minions — pull enemies về phía minions
4. Convocation — pull minions đến bạn khi needed

Boss Fight Strategies

Universal Boss Pattern

PRE-FIGHT:
1. Summon minions OUTSIDE arena
2. Cast Bone Offering → block buff
3. Check flask charges
4. Full life/mana

DURING FIGHT:
1. ĐỨNG XA boss → max distance
2. Minions tank → bạn chỉ support
3. Di chuyển khi boss cast
4. Convocation → pull minions back if needed
5. Recast Offering when buff expires

Notorious Bosses

If Dying Too Much

1. Farm thêm levels — overlevel content
2. Cap resistances — check defense panel
3. Get more life — aim for level × 100 HP
4. Upgrade flasks — instant life, utility flasks
5. Get leveling uniques — Goldrim, Tabula, etc.

Gear Priorities

Campaign Priority Order

Budget Leveling Uniques

Note: Không cần mua gì nếu budget tight. Rare gear với life + res đủ clear.

Rare Gear Priorities

Every slot should have:

• +Life (60-80+)
• +Resistances (until capped)
• Movement Speed (boots only)

Don't need:

• Damage stats (minions do damage)
• Cast speed (not critical)
• Critical strike (not needed)

Flask Setup

Campaign Flask Loadout

Important:

• Life flask: Seething (instant) prefix
• Roll "of Staunching" (anti-bleed) suffix
• Keep flasks active during fights

Common Mistakes → Fixes

Act-by-Act Checklist

After Each Act, Verify:

• Resistances: All ≥ 60% (aim 75%)
• Life: Level × 100 HP minimum
• Minions: Still scaling, not dying
• Flasks: Upgraded to current level
• Gems: Leveled to character level

Milestone Targets

Quick Reference

Skill Gem Setup (Level 1-70)

Minions (4-link):

If Still Struggling

Nuclear Options (Last Resort)

1. Overlevel content — Farm zones until +3 levels above area
2. Group play — Party với friends

5. HC mindset — Play extremely carefully
