Just finished normal with my hardcore wizard. I was very cautious- leveled to 36 with over 7000 HP before taking on Diablo. Probably overkill, but hey, it's better than dying.

You can never be too safe when it comes to hardcore imo.

Funny thing, my DH is lvl 24 in late act 2 and I found 2 legendaries within 20 mins after having never found any on my SC barb with 130 hours played.

died yesterday on start of hell (tried it right after beating nightmare), RIP my barb level 51, was chased by Scavengers (fast + fire chain), chased me all the way to town, died a slow death with 35k hp.

now trying a Wiz.

I found one legendary on hardcore and then 3 more in softcore within 10 minutes, having not seen any for about 120hrs or so

What is the best solo hardcore class? Demon Hunter is the best for softcore but it seems too fragile, even with Smokescreen.

Just lost my 55 demon hunter in A2 Hell.

Had a fast fire chains spider mob that I couldn't get away from.

I've been feeling pretty safe with my monk (act 3 NM right now), where any pack I can either kill or get away from quite comfortably. I've even been a bit reckless in going after treasure gobbos as they run into boss packs and not coming close to dying.

Whereas like you say, my DH just feels incredibly fragile, even with roughly the same amount of HP. Armour is lower lower, dodge is lower, no 30% innate reduction, no concussion/resolve (numbing traps is kinda weak since if something is on your trap, it's already not much of a threat). I've come close to dying a few times on him.

EDIT: DH running SS, vault, caltrops and prep, so not exactly a fragile setup either.

I heard about a DH today on Kugen's stream that died in the morning at lvl 60, got powerleveled back to 60 in 10 hours, and then died an hour after he hit 60.

xD Hardcore is hardcore.

Switched to hardcore after finishing inferno softcore on a DH.. love the change of pace. Doesn't feel like a mindless grind where you zerg your way through the game. Actually have to plan engagements now and (well not yet, still in normal xP ) gear intelligently. Finishing up normal act 3 atm on barb =).

I'm act 2 nightmare with a level 43 HC wizard and still feel pretty safe even though I'm running a pretty offensive skill build (mm, orb, archon, hydra, force weapon with only crystal shell as defense) . I think as long as you have enough vitality (got about 13000) nightmare is not too bad but I'm expecting in hell I'm going to have to switch to having more defensive skills and go a lot slower.

Then again, it's also possible I've just been lucky so far and I'm about to get stomped in act 3 for not having enough defensive cooldowns.

I actually love WD for HC, the CC and death escapes have served me well, 52 starting Hell. Maybe it will change, but up to now it's been fun and relatively easy (with the occasional scary moment, as to be expected)
