A Brief Diablo 3 Leveling Guide

In this brief Diablo 3 leveling guide, I would like to offer a few simple concepts that will help you level your characters to 60 as quickly as possible during the first months of the Diablo 3 release.

Since the release of Diablo 2 in 2000, much time has passed and the fans of this ground-breaking game have waited patiently for the next installment in the series. Well, Diablo 3 is finally upon us...well almost. Soon to be released, Diablo 3 promises to be a worthy addition to the Blizzard MMORPG arsenal which contains the likes of Diablo, Starcraft, and World of Warcraft. With the release date so near in the future, one question is bound to be on many people's minds. How can I get my Diablo 3 character to level 60 as quickly as possible?

While the exact details of the final release version are still top secret, Blizzard has given a pretty good idea as to the style of the game play of Diablo 3 as well as what each character class will offer. Based on this information, I would like to offer the following suggestions to increase the speed at which you can level your particular character class.

First, always keep your follower active and fighting. Much like in Diablo 2, Diablo 3 will allow you to have a follower, otherwise known as a henchman, accompany you through the treacherous zones of the world and fight along side of you. By allowing your follower to help combat your enemies, you will do more overall damage to your foes and thus dispatch them more quickly. And of course, the faster you kill your enemies, the faster you gain experience towards your next level. Additionally, by keeping your follower active, he or she will absorb some of the incoming damage from your enemies, ultimately allowing you to survive through some of the tougher situations. By remaining alive, you will obviously continue gaining experience and increase your overall leveling speed.

Next, I recommend playing with a friend. A real friend that is...not just your in-game follower companion. By playing multi-player with a friend in Diablo 3, you'll be able to absolutely tear through your enemies and gain experience very quickly. The smartest choice is to choose 2 character classes that complement each other well and enjoy the synergy of your chosen combination. Class combinations such as warriors and wizards are ideal due to the fact that you will have 1 character able to rush into the group of enemies and absorb large amounts of damage with heavy armor and another character able to stand off at range and demolish your foes with magic from a safe distance. Additionally, playing with a friend is always more fun, so the time will fly by and you will be gaining loads of experience while socializing and having a good time. You know that whole saying about time flying and having fun...right?

I hope you have enjoyed this brief Diablo 3 leveling guide. As the release date continues to near, I will be offering much more detailed information with specific tips for each class that will help you to level your Diablo 3 character to 60 in the most efficient way possible.
