I mean, a lot of the “build guides” online are just trash from youtubers and whatnot trying to get clicks. You don’t need to follow a complicated youtube video to get “Raise HP and Stamina, get a big spear, get a big shield, stab baddies.”
Do you know Path of Exile? Go look at how that game works. You really want to follow a guide there or you’re likely going to find halfway through that your character is too weak, and you’re too poor to reset it. Other games that are close relatives to Diablo2 often feel like they need build guides. They often have mutually exclusive build choices and a lower player-skill factor.

Oh, I found Diablo 2 totally fine. I played that for the first time maybe 6 months ago? Really fun.
I don’t know path of exile. I’m going to look into elden ring now though.
Interest is piqued since people are telling me it’s more open world than it seems from youtubers and crap like you’re talking about.
