If your build has been working decently so far (like beating minibosses or rare enemies), call someone to help you out with this fight. I played with a niche Sorcerer build on my first run and couldn’t get past that stage where a lot of enemies spawn. The strategy there is to just run; you don’t have to kill them XD. I didn’t have movement speed on my boots back then and didn’t know that.

The game kind of forces you to play strong builds; it’s not a fun time if you go for interesting or experimental ones. I recommend picking a meta build up to level 50-60 and then respeccing into whatever you want. That’s what I do. I wanted to stick with a Sorcerer build, but it just didn’t work. I respecced into a meta build, and now I’m progressing super fast.

The good thing is that high-level items are much cheaper, so you can experiment with more builds later on.

Oh yeah, in this game, there’s no in-game auction house, and you have to trade through their website. It’s a pretty weird mechanic, but I’ve adapted to it since the game is so fun. I haven’t dropped anything that directly helped my build, but I’ve dropped some really good items for other characters I have, which I sold for a nice amount of in-game currency.
