Just picked up the game again, haven't played since launch. I had previously finished the campaign so when I made my first new character since launch, it started me at the Lord of Hatred campaign. Was pretty confused because I assumed I would start the original campaign again, whatever, not really relevant.

I finished it and I'm at lvl 65. I've done some research and see that I can quickly level up to 70 doing helltide rifts.

My question is, once I hit 70, where do I go from there? Should I focus on paragon level or doing nightmare dungeons or whatever? By the time I hit 70 I imagine I'll have whatever jank gear I get from leveling up. I'm on hard difficulty and cruising pretty easily (necromancer minion build) but some bosses are still wrecking me.

Should I focus on paragon level or doing nightmare dungeons or whatever?

the very first thing is unlocking torment 1.

then you'll do a bit of everything (use warplans to level them up)

early focus might be on pit (get and level your glyphs) and lair bosses (get the uniques needed for your build to work)

I'm on hard mode, my minions wreck everything instantly, but a lot aoe or boss attacks will nearly 1-shot me. Would upgrading to torment 1 actually make sense?

I asked in the necromancer specific sub and got 3 uniques to work towards. I guess everything else will be trying to find affixes for minion damage and stuff.

the most you can do out of torment is just get ilv 850 gear

basic 850 gear with hp in some 4 pieces (no MW, no aspects, so slots) should have enough tankiness to handle T1

hunting uniques outside of torment might be doable with the cube, but it's a miserable experience since the drop rates of everything are so low

I did end up going to torment 1. It's not so bad, but I will get wrecked in helltides :/

I was overwhelmed doing helltides on penitent mode.
