Make hunter. I think they are one of the easyest to lvl as a new player.
Uhm, try to get uniq gear with +skills.
Try to get a chest with some skill block and hp% and conversion from dmg to hp is also nice to have. The extra yellow stats dont really matter on that lvl. You can take one with Magic Arrow or something for some pvp.
Take Armpands with skill cast time reduction and extra yellows: snare shot/animal soul/power cross bow. Preferable animal soul.
Tights with physical resistance ofcourse and as extra yellow stats is Missleader a must have.
And take boots with movement speed and extra yellows: Dash/Dodge and Evade.
The stones you would prefer in your armour are physical resistance and skill block stones. Both for chest and pants. You can also put a stamina stone in chest.
In the boots you can put a quickness stone for some extra speed.
The fastest way to lvl is to buy wp lol.
