First time players - go to youtube, find streamers who've played a lot of PoE and find a build guide / leaguestart for the current league and find one you enjoy the look of and go with that. Don't feel pressured to buy any MTX stash tabs until you've played 100+ hours.

Lots of different builds and skills you can play around and enjoy, and don't stop at the end of campaign! The true fun is hitting maps and building stronger and stronger to reach the endgame. Set yourself a goal each league that is realistic or aspirational, and just enjoy. Each league brings something new, so if you don't enjoy it then don't feel pressured to play. GGG will do a new patch in 3 or 4 months for sure.
