Introduction
The following guide takes the player through the combat of the
Into the Abyss Expansion with as little effort as possible. It can be started after completing
but it's recommended 
Throne of the Herald and 
Atlas of discovery are completed first.
Frequent skill swapping is a lot more important than in 
base game, so if you are struggling to progress try leveling some non-combat skills first.
Skill Trees are also extremely important, make sure you are acquiring the buffs as those points come in to make progression significantly faster.
This Guide is NOT designed with the Ancient Relics Game Mode in mind. Players looking for more information about that Game Mode should visit the Ancient Relics Guide.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Combat Simulator
Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the Combat Simulator to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.
Stats and Buffs
Having progressed through Throne of the Herald and Atlas of discovery combat will make
Into the Abyss significantly easier. This is due to Throne of the Herald powerful starting potions from
