Diablo – Claiming Season set gear on a season alt

Since Armor protects against all types of damage, it is unlikely that resist gear that you find in Nightmare is going to be better than equipment you find later on with significantly higher armor. So I don't think it makes sense to try to hold on to resist gear over a levelling up period. You should only grab a bunch if you need it short term, or once you've gotten high enough level that armor values won't be increasing significantly anymore.

Here's what I've compiled, based on the Diablo lore and the Heroes of the Storm character backstories.

• Female Demon Hunter: Valla

  • Diablo III: Hatred and Discipline, Demon Hunter short story

    Valla went on, "It was a good dream... but for now it must remain just that—a dream."

    The sawyer's daughter pulled her hood up. "I'm back. I'm back, and I'm ready... to continue the hunt."

    She turned away.

    "Where do you think you're going?" Josen asked flatly.

    "Tristram. The others asked you to send the best. I am the best. I'm going, and you have less than a few heartbeats to try and stop me."

    Valla waited with her back to the master hunter, then lifted her scarf... An instant later she strode away, crested a rise, and was gone from sight.

  • Heroes of the Storm: Valla, Demon Hunter

    Valla witnessed the ferocity of the hellspawn firsthand as the demons ravaged her village and left her for dead. Now, with no people to call her own, her only allegiance is to her cause: to rid Sanctuary of the demonic filth corrupting its lands.

• Male Witch Doctor: Nazeebo

  • Not named in Diablo III, however the character background in Heroes of the Storm is consistent with that of the heretical Witch Doctor encountered by Benu in the Doubtwalker short story.

    You stray far from the truth. What is true is this: the Unformed Land is not as the high priests teach. The one you call heretic knew this. That is why he defied law.

    Images swirled and flashed before Benu like smoke and lightning. He glimpsed the so-called heretic wandering through strange lands the young witch doctor did not know. A falling star blazed in the night sky, and Benu followed it to where it crashed on the earth—a small town beset by evil.

  • Heroes of the Storm: Nazeebo, Heretic Witch Doctor

    With cabalistic incantations and vestments of feather and bone, the Witch Doctor Nazeebo calls upon spirits from the Unformed Land to aid him in battle. Few outlanders ever encounter a Witch Doctor in the flesh, without losing their own.

• Female Barbarian: Sonya

  • Not named in Diablo III, however the character background in Heroes of the Storm seems consistent with that revealed in the game.

  • Heroes of the Storm: Sonya, Wandering Barbarian

    From the frozen Dreadlands of the north come the mighty Barbarian warriors. After surviving the destruction of her home and death of her tribe, Sonya wanders Sanctuary in search of battle and a better life for her people.

• Male Barbarian: Kehr Odwyll (questionable)

  • The Diablo III Barbarian short story Wayfarer names the protagonist, but notes that he lacks the beard and long hair typical of Barbarian warriors. Either Kehr is not the same Barbarian in the game, or some time has passed and he has grown more hair.

    The peasant took a few quick steps ahead, trying to catch Kehr's eye. "I doubted at first. You lack the wild beard and locks mentioned in the tales..."

    He cleared his throat.

    "If you do not want to speak, I understand. I wanted only to thank you."

    Tilting his head in a bow, he let the barbarian stride past.

• Female Wizard: Li-Ming

  • Diablo III: Firefly, Wizard short story

    But understand this: Li-Ming did not lie. There are tomes within our library that describe the events that may now be coming to pass. It all begins with a star falling from the heavens, and such a star did fall the day I fought Li-Ming.

    I know the true nature of magic and of who and what I am. Li-Ming knows these things as well, but she has come to a different course. This is the puzzle put before us, assassin. I am not blind to the evil that stalks us, but I fear for what Li-Ming might seek to undertake. Thus I consign to death my brightest student, perhaps the world's best hope for salvation, and pray that I have chosen rightly.

  • Heroes of the Storm: Li-Ming, Rebellious Wizard

    It’s a generally agreed upon fact of life among the denizens of Sanctuary that wizards and magical mayhem are never far apart. Although she understands people’s concerns, Li-Ming is entirely unapologetic for the destruction in her wake. She delights in unleashing devastating spells on her foes from afar, then teleporting away to frustrate her enemies’ attempts at striking back. Small minds may fear this kind of power, but Li-Ming wields the arcane forces of the universe with confidence and unmatched skill.
