Just bought this, any tips for a new player?
The only other ARPG I've played was Diablo 2 decades ago.

>Invest all skill points into one attack
>Use others for damage increase and self buff skills
>Press one button on loop to kill every enemy on screen
>Do this for 200 hours until you have equipment to kill all enemies on screen slightly faster than last time

Focus on 1-2 damage types
Defences (particularly resistances) are very important and especially on the higher difficulties/end game, should be your priority over offense
If you're not planning on going to max level/endgame you can more or less do any class combo without issue
If you're not sure what second class to get, soldier works with everything due to some very strong passives
If you plan to try and talk about this on Yas Forums, expect a lot of butthurt POE fans, they would literally rather shitpost about GD than play poe

Thanks.

Any idea what you want to play?

I haven't start playing yet. It has guns, right?

Stack physique regardless of your build, except to equip items.
Max at least one of your masteries for their raw stats.

What gameplay style do you have in mind? Melee or range? Two hander or one hander? Dual wield or with a shield? Spammable spells that can be used as a "main" attack or powerful slower stuff?
If you're playing hardcore keep in mind that this game absolutely adores "floor is lava" shit, it's fucking everywhere and if you're a melee character it's even harder to deal with.
But yeah, focus on a few damage types, 2-3 preferably, since you will run into an enemy that has resistances to one or a couple of them eventually, although people do mono-types also.
Survivability is king, resistances in particular, the first time I went up in difficulty I hit a shrimp near the starting town and died from it's post death poison because my resistance to it was -25% and I didn't really put much in health, harboring a silly belief that I could survive by killing enemies before they kill me. I was wrong.
Also there are some enemies that will just instantly burst you down. It's really not very friendly to hardcore players, or it is, depending on how much you enjoy CBT.
Also I'm pretty sure there's no reason to put level up points on your character screen into anything except the first stat, the one that gives you HP, you get the rest from items and levelling up your class masteries, which you should probably actively do early.
Also don't start with Soldier as your first class, levelling with cadence is the most boring shit imaginable.
Yep, demoman is guns/spellcaster, inquisitor is dual pistols/spellcaster.

Yes, both one and two-handers.

Guns and crossbows but no bows which I find weird.
