In what order should you skill at the Altar of Rites? We’ll show you the best order from Diablo 3.
What kind of altar is this? The Altar of Rites was the major seasonal theme of Season 28 in Diablo 3. This feature works like a large skill tree, where you can activate 29 different powers (3 of which are enhanced potions).
You are free to choose the order in which you unlock each skill. However, as these unlocks cost materials that are sometimes difficult to obtain, the question arises: In what order should you unlock the seals? For this, we reviewed expert opinions and present the results here.
Optimal Skill Order for the Altar of Rites
What the experts say: We looked into what YouTuber Rhykker (via YouTube.com) and the team from maxroll.gg say about the skill setups. They are known for being experts in the Diablo 3 scene. They regularly publish detailed guides for the different classes and builds to help you get the most out of them.
When breaking down their statements, we come up with 2-3 possible skill orders:
Order 1 – Forego Crit Resource
- A: You must always choose this
- C: Choose Annointed to be fully equipped with yellow level-70 items by level 18. This makes leveling immensely easier
- F
- H
- J
- O: Choose this path to quickly double your bounty bags. You need the loot to unlock additional content at the altar.
- S
- T
- Z
- AC (once you complete the first Greater Rift and collect your guaranteed Ancient Item)
- R
- V
- X
- B
- U
- I
- M
- L
- K
- P
- D
- G
- W
- Y
- Q
- E
- N
- AA
- AB
- AD
Who uses this? This order is suitable for almost any build. An alternative order can emphasize an earlier “Resource on Crit” focus.
Keep in mind: You can and should unlock the skills AA (Mother) and AB (Mortal) as soon as you have the Ancient Ashes for them.
Order 2 – Early Crit Resource
- A: You must always choose this
- C: Choose Annointed to be fully equipped with yellow level-70 items by level 18. This makes leveling immensely easier
- F
- H
- J
- O: Choose this path to quickly double your bounty bags. You need the loot to unlock additional content at the altar.
- N: Choose Vigor so your resource fills on critical hits
- S
- T
- Z
- AC (once you complete the first Greater Rift and collect your guaranteed Ancient Item)
- R
- V
- X
- B
- U
- I
- M
- L
- K
- P
- D
- G
- W
- Y
- Q
- E
- AA
- AB
- AD
Who uses this? If you rely on your resources and play a build that heavily depends on crits, this order is recommended.
Keep in mind: You can and should unlock the skills AA (Mother) and AB (Mortal) as soon as you have the Ancient Ashes for them.
You can see that the orders only differ slightly. There are also other variations where one completely foregoes the quality-of-life content and focuses only on damage and toughness. This should primarily appeal to players who are eager to be on the top of the leaderboard on the very first day.
