Being an efficient Diablo 3 player

Power leveling is highly desired by many when it comes to playing Diablo 3.
A player might be tempted to spend a lot on cash on items since the auction house in Diablo 3 allows them to use real money to buy items (with Blizzard getting a cut from every transaction).
The best gear may produce better results. However, spending too much money on gear in the auction house is not the best way to do so even if you have all the money in the world to spare. At the end of the day, it is better to save that money because there are many ways to get the best gear in the game using the natural way.

For starters, questing in the right direction offers a better progression for each character even if going back to the same spot as before and killing the same monster over and over again seem very enticing.
Blizzard has changed the way the game runs now and what worked for Diablo 2 no longer applies in Diablo 3.

The returns on ‘boss runs’ is not the same as well because Blizzard is now encouraging players to diversify their playing style rather than go for repetitive grinding.
There are also higher difficulty modes in the game like the ‘inferno’ level which yield better drops for the player.

Another way to be more efficient at the game is to leverage on higher level players who are able to take on monsters that give larger experience (XP) gains. This method of leveling will help you to jumpstart your character in the initial stages.
You can also consider guides written by experienced players as they reveal what is the most effective path one must undertake if they do not wish to beat around the bush. This is also very effective for players who do not want to spend 16 hours in front of the computer each day to level up.

Using A Witch Doctor To Get To Level 60 ASAP

The Witch Doctor is a very diverse character. It is a spell caster that uses voodoo magic to cause pain and rain hell on their enemies.
They are not necessarily like the Necromancer class but they do rely on a lot of poisons and damage dealing abilities that are similar.

One of the ways to kill mobs quickly is to learn how to hit and run. They have skills like poison dart, horrify and acid clouds which deal damage over time. This means that your opponents are not killed instantly and it is important to keep them away from you while the poisons and damage take its course.
Mind control is a very good spell for crowd control as it turns enemies upon each other and they make it much easier for you to pick them off.

Be sure to buff up some defensive equipment on your character because it is very important to survive. You are not like a Barbarian or a Monk. The character is more frail and you need to employ a lot of strategy especially when you are climbing up the higher levels.
Learn to hide behind your minions like the Fetish army or Zombie followers. Like its predecessor the Necromancer, summoning your monsters to do your bidding is winning half the battle already while you blast away at your enemies with your spells.
You can even summon your own zombie dogs and get them to explode at your enemies. Timing is really important.

Learn to stay alive using soul harvest. Keeping yourself alive using these means will help you to survive longer in battle without running back and forth to down to reload on items.
Remember not to stick in one area and grind monsters for too long. You might be tempted to do so, but remember that there will always be better rewards if you venture out.
