I'm also just starting up a 1.10 account. I was wondering if MF sorc is indefinitely the best option for a first character on an account, and what build to go. Also, how do you level fast until baal in norm?
For a first, char, probably not. I would go with a paladin, especiallythe ZEAl(5 or so points) and then fanaticsim(20 ASAP). Put the rest of the points anywhere they look good or read the paladin forum.
With a first char, your goal should be to jump-start other chars. So play your paladin up to Baal in normal(or nightmare) and MF with him(not really uniqeus, but dgood rares mostly.)
Then build you sorc with those rares, and MF uniques. After thet, you should be set.]
To level quickly, play in act 1 till level 12-15 in games with 5+ people. Try to party with them, even if they are not killing in the same area as you. Monsters in Act one are not really dangerous anyway, so you chould get xp quickly.
Then kill Andurial in a private game and move on to act two.
In act two just go through the quests in order. By now you should have some rare plate and a decent weapon, though it is probably not great. Duriel will be a bit of a challenge, so expectto die a bit and have lots of TPS. Level up to about 20 here.
In act 3, do the game as intendded and slog through the forests and marches. Don't just skip to Travencial. Level up to about 24 here.
Then kill mephisto and move to diablo. Now you are in trouble. It is very ahrd to kill diablo alone atthis level so join up with a kill diablo game and partty wit htem. Once you kill idablo go to act 5 and find an ancients game. Killthe ancients and then join one of the millions of Baalrunz002, Baal Run 003 etc games. (You need to be level 25 to get good xp here) Level with them until you hit level 40 or so, and pick up any qeusts you missed when you get bored. Go to nightmare, and start shopping and gambling.
That should do it.
Surpirisingly enough, playing the game as it is supposed to be played isthe best way to level up from 1-25.
