You want to rush to level 60 (diablo 3 power leveling strategy) as fast a possible here is the guide that can help you!

So why rush to level 60?

Be the first to have the best item and character in Diablo 3, its fame, get the best loot, sell it on AH, share it with your friends

First of all it’s all about mindset, so basically you have to put yourself in “Power leveling mindset”

So how does the power leveling mindset work?

• You focus on getting as much XP as possible
• You focus on killing many monsters as possible
• You focus on getting most damage output gear without sacrificing health / death
• You focus on moving to the next game content fast (exit of level)
• Health is your second priority after damage output
• Put yourself in “busy” mode

What you should not focus on?

• Avoid all passive gameplay & delays
• Avoid trading and AH much as possible, only quick search if needed once a while
• Avoid external communication with instant messaging browing on web, only if needed info go search for it
• You skip all unnecessary gameplay such side quests, trading, crafting and lore which is not relevant
• Avoid tuff gameplay such as hard monsters, bosses, champions if possible, skip it and move on if possible
• Avoid death for all cost
• Gold is low priority
• Dont pickup trash items or gold, move on, pick only blue items with value. Learn what have value by preffix and suffix
• Avoid PvP & any disturbance

So whats the best strategy to power level?

• Focus first on damage output gear only with + health or life
• Focus on AOE damage classes/skills as u can get massive Kills
• Every 2-3 hours of gameplay quickscan AH/town vendors for better items, dont go for minor improvement, weapon first, if nothing skip it, go better for one great item.
• Go after + life and return life on hit etc items, keep in mind security (no death) is crucial to not loose time
• Go after + XP (experience items) second
• Focus on weapon damage first before other items as its your main damage output
• Use sockets that give + damage & life
• + Speed boots to move content fast

Whats classes works well for power leveling?

• Wizard – alot AOE output, can move on fast, use AOE damage as possible, collect many monsters and AOE kite. Go for health + arcane also items
• Witch Doctor – alot of summon AOE output, stay in background and let your spells/summon work – go for mana and health
• Demon hunter, can do great with mass shoot etc and abilities, can move fast and good to survive
• Monk – can be pretty good too with AOE moves, watch health, monk is more risky as he need to close combat, but can do alot damage.
• Barb – not the best class, has not much AOE, close combat is weakness to health and risk of death

How to combat properly?

• Always watch health, never go to close in combat
• Use the power of AOE spells
• Use the power of kite, means you circle around monsters so they get hit by AOE spells
• Have plenty of potions
• Use elixirs as boosts
• Avoid death or risks for all cost, in such case be careful then dying
• Find alternative routes if you cannot move (due to hard) on in that direction
• Memorize dungeons and areas, some are fixed, other are random
• Search for exit soon as possible to next level
• Feedback to your self i am on right patch or should i change something?

How to manage damage output vs health properly?

Solo or group power leveling?

Basically its up to you, there is befits in both of them and it’s hard to say currently which works well, in D2 you could move on faster, and level faster. I think there is a little benefit in group play of D3, however its currently uncertain.

Before D3 launch strategy

• Read guides, videos, news about Diablo 3, so you are well prepared, bookmark good things here and other sites.
• Use pen and paper to remember monsters, areas, loot and exits to next level etc.
• Plan a strategy how to move from A – B on paper, follow the guide.
• Use your network to share knowledge, discuss strategies with your friends etc.
• Be prepared to play a lot, sleep well before, listen to good music, create a good mood and atmosphere.
