The Diablo III release has been a long time coming and naturally, like most of the world, I had a pre-ordered copy waiting for me on the 15^th. Unfortunately, I had to work, so I didn’t really get to sit down and play until last Friday. Thus, Friday began my non-stop marathon of Diablo III and I have lived to tell the tale.  

I didn’t want to spoil my experience by reading much about the Diablo III gameplay beforehand. I played Diablo III in a sort of trial and error style to find my own way of successfully taking down Diablo. I have compiled a list of the best advice that I can give you to get the most out of Diablo III.
