Goal: level 5, Imp active, no unnecessary deaths.

• You start with Shadow Bolt, Immolate, Demon Skin and Shoot. Get the Imp via Summon Imp – class quest/trainer in Northshire (verify in game).
• Level 4: Corruption and Curse of Weakness. Corruption has a 2 s cast until Improved Corruption.
• Pull 1–4: Shadow Bolt → Immolate so both land at roughly the same time, then finish it off (Conquest Capped). From 4: Corruption + Immolate, then wand or melee.
• Keep Demon Skin up at all times.

Checkpoint level 5: Do you have the Imp and Corruption on your bars? Do mobs die before they reach you?

Goal: learn range control and get out of the starting area without dying.

• Trainer in Shadowglen according to Hearthproof: Mardant Strongoak. Learn new ranks every other level.
• Basic loop: Mark of the Wild on yourself → Wrath at range → another Wrath if the enemy is still far away → finish with your weapon to save mana.
• Level 4: Moonfire and Rejuvenation. Apply Moonfire while the enemy runs toward you; Rejuvenation ticks while you fight.
• Sit down and eat/drink only when your mana is below roughly a third – not after every mob.

Checkpoint: level 5–6, Moonfire and Rejuvenation learned, at least one weapon upgrade from quests.
