As a brand new player, is it better to immediately start purchasing items that address deficiencies or build on strengths? If I have a fragile/low health character that has range and good damage, should I be buying more firepower and letting the level boosts increase my health or should I be immediately buying health/armor? I do not have the greatest reaction time so I am not sure I could become adept at dodging or juking incoming attacks.
