Beginner rules
Use this filter before trusting any leveling plan.

- A movement or recovery tool before boss mechanics get strict.
- Few mandatory timing windows while leveling.
- Gear priorities that are easy to recognize.
Class routes for beginners
If you have not picked a class yet, route through the class hub first.
Acolyte
High if you start Necromancer, moderate if you jump straight into Lich or Warlock without learning defenses.
Open decision pageMage
Moderate. The damage is clear, but you need to respect defenses earlier than tankier classes.
Open decision pagePrimalist
Moderate to high. The base class is forgiving, but some mastery setups ask for more button management.
Open decision pageRogue
Moderate. Falconer is the easiest route here; Bladedancer and Marksman ask for more positioning.
Open decision pageSentinel
High. Paladin and Void Knight both give new players readable damage and defense goals.
