Seems like the situation has largely been resolved but one thing I'll add in just in general is that it's actually a pretty decent idea to do a PotD run or two if you're coming back to a class after a long time away. Even for classes that aren't intended to be played "at level 1" they are all built to work at level 1 in PotD. It can act as a nice fairly quick tutorial on how the class builds as it levels without having to actually level it up again and while fighting actual enemies instead of just whacking a training dummy.
