----------Tips----------

Look for mana flasks early, esp after lvl 10 you'll prob need two mana flasks for a while
Try to make sure you cap your resistances whenever possible (75, 75, 75)
You can see this from the defence Panel on your character screen if you press the default key C.
For everytime you kill Kitava your resistances will be reduced by 30 for a maximum of 60 reduced resistances
after you kill Kitava the second time.

Get an Instant (Seething) Divine Life Flask as soon as you can at level 60. This flask is very important.

Try to get as much life as you can on any piece of gear where-ever you can, for examples of gear, refer to
the items section and click the drop down menu between Leveling OOS/Leveling SRS and End game.

Try to craft a +#% to Physical Damage with the Vendor recipe as follows:
Rare or Magic Rustic Sash (rare gives more #% Physical Damage) x1
Blacksmith's Whetstone x1
Any weapon

Look for flat Physical Damage to Attacks anywhere that you can.
