Diablo 4 Complete Beginners Guide

[@alucardjp1]

You probably won’t see this but your way of structuring things and explaining things shines with a teacher type of quality. Loving your passion for the game, thanks for your efforts

[@torduc22]

Turns out, Raxx’s professional career before his streamer days (I think he worked in some sort of a credit related work - kinda forgot his whole story which he has a full dedicated video on KZbin actually talking about his past) involved him teaching junior associates at the company in the most efficient way possible. Kinda his thing to boil things down for others to easily absorb and understand 😁

[@Raxxanterax]

I saw it buddy, thank you

[@Raxxanterax]

@@james_tiberius_kirk73 Thank you my friend, mmm chipotle

[@tsuelue]

Though I do not consider myself a complete beginner, I still enjoyed this summarization. Because D4 is a hobby to us, not a job, it´s harder to keep track of every tiny detail. Much appreciated. 😘

[@anon8139]

It's a job for a lot of streamers in the first months and maybe even if it goes off the roof, for the first 2 seasons and also because of the drops Blizzard made on Twitch.. (gift 2 subs, watch 6 hours and so on) but for us mortals, it's hopefuly a nice game we can hop on after the disaster of Lost Ark and some others..

[@secretsmile77]

Thanks brother

[@SalinaBabba8343]

Been playing since the days of Diablo 1. A lot has changed over the course of the series and I haven't had time to always keep up. This guide is very much appreciated.

[@nolabets3130]

Bro it's gonna become a job to so many people 😂

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

​@@anon8139 lol I'd rather be a "mortal" than some loser who records himself playing video games and shamelessly taking donations whilst sitting in an air conditioned house with a nice computer, etc.... 😆

[@decomush]

Your capacity to summarize information in valuable way is phenomenal. As somekind of teacher myself, I have to praise your capacity of staying concise and simplify explanations. I'm not aware of a single creator that could summarize so much information in 43 min. Even with a script.

[@Raxxanterax]

Wow, thank you!

[@gzaf187]

I’ve been playing Diablo since the 90s and I still watched the full thing. Good job as usual Raxx 👍

[@jasonmeister6988]

well its totally diff from D1 / D2

[@Tateya]

Darn, all the good old Modem times on d1 xD

[@TiredDad2019]

I am so excited to play Diablo again. I am ready to be absorbed into a game again like I did all those years ago in d2 and d3. Hoping for a less painful launch and some awesome builds.

[@nightcrawler6261]

I feel the same way I’m going blood necromancer

[@xsiikphyziiksx7205]

Me too :)

[@ArmadilloGodzilla]

I am expecting a very painful launch with endless queues and disconnects, which will be fixed just when normies will join, only to have to go through it again. So basically that our four days of head start and then some will be stolen by technical incompetence. Hope I'm wrong. 😅

[@xsiikphyziiksx7205]

@@ArmadilloGodzilla nah will be a perfect launch...server slam was no problem. Game will be launchable June 1st

[@torduc22]

@@xsiikphyziiksx7205 yeah there will be less people playing during pre-order launch than server slam since server slam was entirely free: not everyone preordered so we’ll be good. More worried about June 6th which is when everyone else that buys the game can just get in lol but hopefully that’s fine too

[@CocaineBear86753]

Raxx, really appreciate these constant videos. I am sure you aren’t getting a lot of sleep but they are great, keep em coming!

🤣🤣

[@D3adv0iid]

This is great! I plan to stay away from build guides and other deep dives into these systems so i can figure things out for myself, but a general overview of how each system works is exactly what I was looking for.

[@Berserkism]

Last of a dying breed right here. Everyone else "play the game for me" 😂

[@deenyc1049]

I kinda feel the same way. Everyone wants to power level and reach end game then get as many polygon points as possible. I want to just play, explore and enjoy the game and every character and different skills. After that, then I’ll start grinding for top gear and higher dungeon levels.

[@deefour28]

​@@deenyc1049 I'm sorry but reading polygon points was way funnier than it needed to be

[@deenyc1049]

@@deefour28 I read it 3 or 4 times and wondered, why is polygon funny? Then I realized it. lol

[@RangerErnsy]

I am complete Diablo noob and i have been scouring YT looking for beginners guides and this one is by far the best. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your hard work on this.

[@FROSTIExix]

This video is structured perfectly, not explaining to the point it becomes overwhelming, just the right pace, gives you the information you need for the game, amazing work!

[@GentleCrank]

You know it’s going to be a good video when Raxx starts the video with Paint in the background

[@SaboraSilent]

I don't get it how he can write that clearly and well in Paint. :D

@XLL38_ Depends on what day you do it

[@GreenStreetSlim]

This was amazing, I learned a lot! Been watching a lot of guides but you just breaking things down in a concise way with an old school chalk board was what I needed.

[@razvan9311]

Just noticed you not a long time ago, checking D4 videos but you quickly became my GO TO content creator for Diablo 4. Been playing Diablo for ages, starting with the first one back in the day. Then continuing with D2, when there was no youtube, no guides, nothing, just enjoying the story and gameplay. Put thousands of hours in D3 as well and now I can hardly wait for Friday. This is my new favorite Diablo channel, thank you for your hard work and passion, all the best to you!

the respect I have for you and admiration for the hard work is insurmountable!

[@SteinerSE]

Don't see basic gearing mentioned, that's the one thing never mentioned in the leveling guides (How to evaluate gear as you progress, what stats (per class/build to value higher than others, 1h/2h combos that are best etc for different builds and classes)

[@xSoulWardenx]

This is legit actually one of the better beginner vids out there right now. Thanks for the info!

[@TampaBayDino]

Raxx, much thanks! I like how you noticed you were starting to go too deep, but stopped and kept it at the beginners level......much thanks again!

[@JohnMcSmith]

Love this comprehensive info dump. Especially the later game info like fields of hatred. Thanks

[@yeetcannon1693]

After watching 1k videos the last few months, it was nice to have a recap on stuff I might have missed. Thanks Raxx

[@keanobambino2132]

Thank you for explaining all this in the way you did. You took it slow & talked with very easy to understand language. From start to finish I learned everything I needed to that I could not learn from hours of other Diablo IV content! Your a legend man Thank You

[@rsiloliveira]

You gotta appreciate the effort of writing all that down in Paint with the mouse. A+

[@vincentfournier875]

What a nice resume, I will send it to some of my friends that was actually asking questions about the game. Very appreciated. Ill stay tune, love your builds and content. 🙏

[@camdenNW1]

Big thanks to you & all those that help. These tips & builds help us casual players that have little time for gaming anymore. It lets us spend the small amount of time we have for gaming to actually play !!

[@DavidCCorra]

Thanks a lot. I have hundreds, thousands of hours in Diablo Games so far, but I'm not very good at creating synergy between game elements. That's why I'm so happy for your videos. Thanks.

[@Shibby]

Great summary of all the moving parts. 🎉

[@camakazeeee]

Great job on the broad scope but still hitting all the key points, perfect beginners guide

[@keithl7700]

What an absolute legend. Thank you so much for this @Raxxanterax!

this! ☝️

[@PeterSeipel-gc8vc]

That's true

[@VincentArchrat]

Hello Raxx, just wanna say thank you for everything you've been doing, been a fan for years, enjoyed all of your D3 videos, your guides are always approachable but still in depth. I'm a long time Diablo player, spent unhealthy amount of hours on Diablo 2, actually when I was a kid, my dream was to own a pc that can run Diablo 2, now I own a pc can run Diablo 4, I should time travel back to tell 7-year-old me the good news. When D2R released I was so excited! I don't have as much time for video games as I used to, nor energy, so I'm gonna play D4 casually, so far I'm having a good time, it is what a Diablo game should be in 2023. When I'm cooking breakfast or lunch break, I watch (sometimes just listen to) your videos. Again, thanks so much!

[@JFlynn1207]

Super helpful. I like to make my own builds but there is so much to know that a high level overview is necessary.

[@americanfilipino8847]

My first time visiting your channel and I will say that this was the easiest video to comprehend when it comes to all the different changes and additions to D4. Congrats, you earned yourself a like and a subscribe. I will be keeping track of you as I progress through the game.

[@FutileGaming1465]

I'm 41, loved the simplicity of D3. I really hope this isn't going to be too steep of a learning curve.

[@GageWins]

I played and ranked in several seasons of D3, was a big fan of D2, and played all the beta rounds of D4. That being said, I still watched this entire guide and learned a lot from it to better prepare for the launch. This is a great overview for everyone both old and new to the diablo world. As always thank you Raxx

[@raulfernandezjr5295]

I feel like the way you explain and bread things is so easy to understand. Thanks a million!

[@axxicus]

As a seasoned Diablo player who hasn't played D4 yet, this is exactly what I was looking for at exactly the right time. Cheers, Raxx!!!

[@liammurphy2725]

Just to say before watching this. For anyone who hasn't seen it, Raxx's talk with Sywo (beginner at Diablo 4) was the most beautiful piece of content I have had the pleasure to watch in years. The power of a top class educator and a willing and able student just took my breath away. I am an old man so emotion comes easy but crying watching them talk and learn was just such a beautiful thing for me. Thank you Raxx. You rock. Edit. Having watched this and thought about what Raxx brings to the player experience, I for one would be totally happy if Blizzard acknowledged his input by naming something in a future expansion after him and his team. He is truly the best addon the game could ever have.

[@cykouxis516]

Ma dude , thanks for guides , anything to explain things in segments helps a lot , you are a master at efficiency .

[@bananaphone3754]

I know you’re busy as fuck playing this game but your passion for Diablo is inspiring. The only reason I played Diablo 3 at all post 2012 was because of your guides on the end game/season start. It’s like an instrument, sometimes all you need to get you interested is a good mentor who wants to see others find joy and succeed. Thanks for your tireless work.

[@synthseeker]

I'm a total casual, but I love this game so far - not playing optimized at all, doing all the sidequests, finding all the altars...and generally just really having fun. My main unknown was what to do after the campaign (I'm L35 atm) and this video helped a lot and made me excited to keep rolling forward! Thanks man!

[@warnado5007]

Thanks for making this. Without a doubt one of the better beginner guides Ive ever watched.

[@VGLit]

People better appreciate the 10 hours of work he put into making this legible.

[@agaaga7748]

Thanks for explaining the paragon board + glyphs + legendary nodes. That was the last thing I didn't understand yet.

[@Richardj410]

Thanks I'm wound tight for this weekend. Hitting 74 and still playing Diablo and you make it easier to play.

[@ublabaah3908]

Not a beginner but having a concise recap of basics was a good reminder amidst all the min maxing that is going on. Reminded me of a few things and even learnt something new. Good video.

[@petertrueteller8043]

So you need what? Someone who figure out everything and play game for you so you can only repeat his steps? If you are consumer of their content and reading guides, you just take away 80% of fun.

[@zerlms]

hi rax just a suggestion. might be better to include screenshots of what youre talking about so its easier for new players watching this video so they have a visual aspect to relate to while in the game regarding what youre talking about. i love ur paint presentations but google slides might be good too!

[@djimdjim5425]

very usefull, thx alot. I would know about : > can you take out a power you put in a item and use it again ? > should i go on difficulty 3 (and 4) asap i can ? > how can i see what type of damage a boss is doing (so i can use an elixir) ? > how can i increase the number of potions i have ? (and what is the max ?) > when i get the mount, do i have to get it again with my other characteres ? (same question for the power dungeons) Thx.

[@morallycorruptmaleficentti1194]

Great vid man! I really need to see it all in writing to make sense of it all. I appreciate the help and this is how all beginner guides should be because you can get lost so quickly in things that you forget to set goals. But with this slide I can see what i need to do and if i have questions about something i know what to call it and where to find it.

[@evanrice4060]

Thanks for the summary. I didn’t really understand that you picked paragon boards that way. Very clear now.

[@paulbigbee]

Tremendously comprehensive, respecting the interested beginner while reflecting the depth of the game (and endgame). Thanks Raxx!

[@RaimaNd]

This is exactly what I needed. I haven't watched any D4 videos yet. I just don't have the time for it and usually am not a big fan of playing beta and reading deep into things before the game came out. With this video I can start D4 when it's released and am still prepared for it.

[@DarqStalker]

I thought I knew mostly everything but I didn't know about the legendary aspect categories and how should apply them correctly so thanks for that!

Bro I feel you on that. I've gotten my hopes up so many times only to have them dashed over the years - Paragon was the last game that really had me hoping, then Epic ruined it and eventually canned it for Fortnite. This month is the most hype I have been in forever. Diablo 4 and the rush to 70 on Thursday, and then Final Fantasy 16 3 weeks later ❤❤❤❤

[@Dank_Engine]

This looks like a great video, and I'm glad KZbin recommended it. You worked hard and deserve the recognition. But am I the only one who just wants to play blind? Learning to beat a game is what makes it enjoyable. If I go in on day 1 with some meta build that's already been tested I'll be bored out of my mind.

Hi Raxx, fyi, found this very helpful. Ive played every Diablo since the first one, and i know im guilty of missing important stuff to make better characters.

Thank you dude this was ACTUALLY super informative and clear to understand, at first when you started talking about diablo 1 and 2, etc etc.. I was like oh damn this is gonna be super basic and super boring, turns out this beginners guide was really useful to clarify some stuff I wasn't sure about, but now I'm ready! PS: You should have added a line about codex of powers legendaries that can be used indefinitely but they do not stack when used on a 2nd item, this was not 100% clear/fully explained during your presentation other than that great job
