| What
is Diablo?:
If you don't know what Diablo is, than you must have been living in a deep hole somewhere, or are from Utah. Basically, Diablo is an RPG that takes place in a town, Tristram , trapped in the mist of evil. You play the hero who has journeyed here to find the cause of the problem, and destroy the evil force behind it. You have the choice of 4 different character classes. Here they are and my preferred weapon: |

- Warrior - Sword/Club/Mace/Axe

- Rouge - Bow and Arrow/Sword

|
- Mage - Magic Staff/Sword

- Monk - Staff/Bow and Arrow/Sword This character is only available in an Image not Available |

| Talking to the different towns folk, you learn a little of the history of the town. You find that the past king was at first a fine king, but then things started becoming unstable. The king believed that his cabinet was corrupt and worshiped evil. He also felt that a neighboring nation was going to attack, he declared war against them, and sent out an army. At the same time, his son vanished. Believing that the towns folk were responsible he sacked the town. Before completely destroying the town, his troops from the war returned in defeat and after seeing what happened they went forward to stop the king. A battle raged forward into the labyrinth below the town, and before his death he placed a curse on all those who went against him and condemned them to "unlife of eternal damnation." | ||||||||||||

Basic Strategy Tips: General Tips: Pick up every item you come across. You never know what it might do for you. If the item turns out to be useless, then sell it. Money is good. Everybody need healing or mana in the field, so being able to afford potions is a definite plus. Don't waste money on useless items and don't waste money on upgrades if you don't really need them. Early in the game, it is best to budget your money evenly between health and weaponry. Once you start getting killer armor and weapons, the game will be no sweat. Magic can be helpful. Learn all spells possible, no matter what character class you are. Warrior: Your greatest ally is brute strength. You have fast attacks with striking weapons, especially the sword. Always attack one enemy at a time until it is destroyed, and try not to get cornered. Always have plenty of potions for healing. Since a warriors attack is generally up close and personal, you will be taking allot of damage. Rouge: Use a bow. You can hit stuff along way away before it even has a chance to hit you. Hold the SHIFT key and then click on targets. This holds your character in one place while you fire your bow. If you don't your character tries to get close, and that could be dangerous. Move around as much as possible. Shoot, run shoot run is the best strategy early in the game. Always have potions on hand, because you still may get hit now and then, especially by other bowman. Mage: Attack from afar with you magic. Stay out of the fray when possible, and have lots of mana potions and life potions on you. You staff can also be used as a hand to hand combat weapon, so even if you run out of mana, you still have a backup weapon. |
