Oh man that is sad.


does anyone know if Dirge was using Spirit Vessel or not?


Yeah he was, it procced several times during their run to SK, and I also think he said that it procced on the butcher during the fight. Hilarious on the stream when he died, everyone predicted it, but not in that way :D

i lost my 54 barb to graphic card overheating, had to do a 1 day off from diablo 3 -_-

He was fighting some shitty mob he could auto attack to win grrr. Act1 hell.

Im actually curious about the mechanics which determines character death when player disconnects, is it 10 sec timer and mobs attacking on you? Because once my other char (it was low level wizard) also suffered throught the same graphic card failure but survived. hmm

Do you use it in HC? I'm only 39 in HC atm and not sure whether to take it when it unlocks. On the one hand it sounds useful, but on the other hand I don't want to drop any out of Seize the initiative, one with everything and resolve..

HC really is a game of accepting a drop in DPS in return for life guarantees. On my WD I always have this 10% life return, as basically if I get one shot I have a chance to pop everything and run away when I return.

Currently Level 42 HC in Nightmare. Have to say it's alot more fun than normal for me due to the 'on edge' feeling you get constantly. I should have died so many times, but Barb CD's saved my balls more than once.

Recommend people trying it out. However, i don't think it's possible to finish Hell. Being lucky is one thing, but when a boss hits you for half of your HP in one swing and other shit is happening... yeah no idea how you would live past act 1.

Hopefully i'll finish Nightmare on this character, might need to farm a bit for Act3 :S Not looking forward to the massive AOE packs.
*bleep* you up in a gangsta style!

I know, but all 3 of the ones I'm using atm are survivability passives.. I don't know if it's worth losing guaranteed mitigation for an occasional emergency life saver. Maybe that extra armour from seize the initiative would have stopped me dying (proccing NDE) in the first place?

I dunno how often it will come in useful in higher HC difficulties, basically. Especially after seeing Dirge's death, where it saved him once but was on CD when he stood in fire after..

TAKE SV! You will chop your own head off when you wd dies and you didnt have sv. Saved me once already. A 57 mage was grinding act3 nm a bit for us (we were like 45) and I had to go back to town. Then I made the biggest mistake ever, I clicked on his banner just like that. NEVER click on someones banner on the higher difficulties unless you know exactly its safe. Needless to say, I got into a huge friggin mob and pretty much got mauled to death in a second. My SV procced and somehow i managed to drink a pot, spirit walk outta there and tp out. Oh the adrenaline rushes in situations like these ^^ Only in HC ^^

So have any HC players made it past act one inferno yet?

Personally I'm level 32 on act 3 normal. Having to take it real slow as the Asia server HC auction house has been down for a week.

I made a wizard on hardcore and after 25 minutes of play, I get vortex'd by an elite into a whole pack of mobs and die.

Seriously, apart from inferno I almost never die, especially on such easy content, then I try hardcore and this happens? I felt bad. But for now I will be staying with softcore, still so much content to explore, and I'm not sure what class I actually like best yet that I should try hardcore on.
here i am

We have actually tested that and it seems that you leave the game in 50 seconds (!) following the disconnect, which seems pretty stupid for hardcore :-\

Running around Act 2 nightmare sewers on level 40 monk. Suddenly, templar and Leah stop on the minimap and I'm running down an empty corridor. "Hmm" I think, "this doesn't look good, but it shouldn't be game over since I have 12k life and 56% armour".

10 seconds later, I resync and see a fast forwarded version of a group of 5 blue ghoul things (the type that give a poison cloud on death) with molten + shielding ripping the shit out of me, while the whole screen is covered in fire. I mashed every CD I had and kited like a little girl across the whole map to the entrance, while they kept hitting me because they were faster.

Barely survived but definitely the closest I've been to dying so far. Immediately went to the AH to upgrade a load of defensive gear

Plenty of people are streaming HC inferno progression.... Kungen is solo barb in act II inferno, streams constantly. Kripp and team no life are doing HC now as well.

Lots of people in inferno.

loving HC. currently at normal diablo boss, level 32. server maintenance. love the thrill you get knowing if you die, you have to start over.

Mmm not really, even against most boss packs my health globe never really falls below ~60%, which probably corresponds to about 75% of actual max HP. In the pack I was talking about, I dropped low enough for the screen to go red once or twice, I could pretty much see the deeds screen as I was running away :p

The extra buffer is nice to have, especially for things like lag, arcane if you don't see an orb, molten if you get hit by a death explosion, etc.

My gf died with 18k life and 58% armor, 70 allres at level 46, so it's not all that high. Jailed, then chain frozen and mass charged by those savage beasts (the frost versions in act 3 icefall cave). I survived from her sacrifice though, lvl 47 monk now.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.
