^Don't be a douche. Plenty of good responses above, this is unwarranted.

OP: You're probably not around anymore (gj on the necro guys...), but you can see that everyone's experience varies. They are right though; command would ruin the game if you started out with it. It already does for many people IMO because the most often seen piece of newb advice is "get command". It was made to be hard, to learn the items as you get them, and then to learn the mechanics enough to take advantage. Dodge, kite, then test your luck on cheap shrines or save up for bigger chests. It's balanced so you frequently *can't* get everything (if you could you'd get OP too fast), so it's up to you to decide how you want to spend your cash/farm/etc. For me, when I lose, I'm typically not frustrated because I'm like "yep, shouln't have wasted my cash/health on those shrines [or my time on farming]; but hey it was my choice."
