Don't waste time on the Big Four. When I started in June, I went straight for epic boss armors (briefly stopping to get infernal lord + along the way).

My best advice is to spend time friending high level players with good armors. It will accelerate your path to getting 43 boss kills required to craft boss+ armors. I spent many hours friend requesting players ranked 200-500 in arena/boss leaderboard. Most will result in rejection, but it definitely pays off.

Also getting into a good guild with decent guild bonuses helps. If anything, they're a source of information for any questions.

Fusing to get armors is only viable for late stage gaming - to get epics or for 50 point enhancing armors. Most fusions result in worse or undesired armors, fusion stones are hard to come by, and 25000 cost per fusion can drain money fast.
