Why not get the noobs to start on SoftCore?

Understood, HC definitely has a difficulty element that makes it enjoyable for some. However, HC has only brought me a level of frustration not matched by the fun it brought. Then again, I've always only liked to play PvP, so I may see things differently.

This may be fun to watch if you're the one playing, but for most people, a summon-Necro on a team is just annoying. It lags the hell out of everyone, and is not as effective as a Hammerdin in clearing out levels or any other class for any situation. These are reasons why some hammerdins won't play Baal-runs with summoners.

because we all want to play together... and softcore is too easy. we have been doing very well considering the lack of experience 3 of our guys have. we made it to hell act 2 before our first death (our BO Barb lagged to death lol).

but yeah, i played PvP for a while... i had a pretty good setup on my hdin with life/res scs in my inv etc for 4.5kish life/max block/stacked resists/125 fcr... but it got banned during one of the ban streaks for botting :/. it was too much work working back up to that so i just quit (i alraedy didnt play d2 that much at the time anyway).

but your comment on a summon necro is from a geared out/supertwinked high level setup standpoint. when you are playing with only stuff you find and strictly no trading or doing runs with people other than your party, the story is different... a level 72 hammerdin doing 3.5k hammers cant jump in the middle of a mob without dying... you need all the protection you can get playing with these fragile, shitty-gear chars in hardcore mode.

So let me get this straight, you advocate playing softcore and you think summoner necros are more annoying then helpful. Hmmm.
