Understanding later game progression; help for a noob and casual gamer
Hello, Agents. A very casual gamer + D2 newb question here: this may be obvious, but I'm uncertain as to how to continue levelling my gear / firepower at this point. I'm chiefly playing on Heroic across the map bounties and control points. Exclusively PVE both solo and in teams.
- My library is almost entirely finished, and I am rarely getting gear that borders my current set in drops. Am I just playing the wrong modes?
- To get stronger, Is it simple a matter of keep grinding for better gear set drops with better attributes?
- I've only found one prototype so far, and I've re-rolled the Augment until getting something halfway decent. Should I be playing anything specific to get more proto gear? How is it people are having almost entirely proto-equipped builds?
- Should I be crafting anything? I rarely do, it's unclear to me if it's worth the time. I have a ton of materials, though.
Any advice would be appreciated here.
