I've been playing an HC wizard on a mobile connection and I've noticed whenever you start a game waypoint-traveling between different locations kinda "buffers" the game a bit and removes any kind of "killing blow"-lag that might occur. I'm just hitting nightmare though so maybe it isn't safe on higher levels (and it might just be me  ) | ||

So far I'm having a lot more fun because they're actually a lot more fun to play - all of the danger of HC (plus even more, because of lack of defence) but quick to level and progress, and if (when!) you die then so what? You can just have fun re-levelling them! | ||

In HC I've treated normal like it was inferno, I have only used 4 health potions so far and I'm lvl 32, maybe thats not that good but at least I'm pretty proud of it. In softcore I realized the is absolutely no sense of danger whatsoever, which is exactly why the game becomes boring for people. I'm never going back, thats for sure. | ||

Obviously no gear to survive A1 - 277-320 all resists, 8800 armor and 41k hp after Warcry, 12k damage. Im doing Mira + Sarkoth (Dank Cellar) runs at the moment, is this a good idea? Or should I be running A3 hell? | ||

The biggest obstacles to hc is drm, lag, dc's, the rubberband, 10 second leave game timer. More op than some of the bullshit affix combinations I've seen. Went into hc knowing lag would be a risk, but this is getting tiresome. All it takes is one lag spike or some connection fuckup and its hours down the drain. I might've gave it another shot by having a second com on standby for the hc cheat death trick, but I heard blizz patched that as well. Game feels clunky and it doesn't help. Skills don't work on occasion and I had to resort to mashing the key and checking if the cd comes up just to make sure. As for the waypoint you can try running back and forth from it and the waypoint menu will fail to pop up one out of ten times. Pretty bad when hc is a life or death situation and shit don't work. Oh well, no use regretting over something beyond my control and start with things that I can control, like quit ha | ||

ACT III Tower where theres a hell ton of scorpions also works. Each wave in hell gives you around 50k-100k exp depending on your level, making the entire area a sick place to level. | ||

I've been running with a flawless square ruby in a helm since the beginning of my play through and I still hit the level 50 cap to get into Hell. Now that I am in Hell difficulty and spent more than 10 hours on my character, I want to start over leveling and over gearing. The maps I have available are from the entire Hell Act 1 and back. Act 1 Leorics Manor is great. Port to Leorics Manor and run in the opposite direction of the regular travel flow. You'll encounter at least 30 enemies that are on the upper floor and/or come running up when you approach the stairs down to the lower floor. With my Barbs, I clear these 30+ in under a minute, get a nice massacre-XP-bonus, TP out and reload. This leveling method (and most Act 1 leveling) will slow down considerably around 57 or so, because the XP per level goes up, while the XP for each Act 1 mob goes down due to the level difference. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lisLA.jpg) Its the Witch Doctors single handed wand, stats as follows 1140.2 DPS 400-1067 Damage 1.55 Attacks per second --------------------------------- +9 minimum damage +271-631 fire damage +50% damage Increases attack speed by 11% Regenerates mana by 8 points (witch doctor only) Increases damage against elites by 4% Only thing similar is a 1040 damage with similar stats on AH, 20mill BO Best drop I ever got in my entire D3 playthrough, seems like I should stick around some more. Got it off a Wretched Mother yellow elite with shielding, knockback, reflect damage and lightning enchanted The bitch and her WM lackies ran away and knocked us back so much we were considering waiting for her to regenerate back else she rages and we both die some shitty death, many delays were given by other mobs too...once she was down to half health with nothing left around we just decided fuck it and killed her. And this was the reward Gave it to my buddy you see there immediately, but warned him that if he ever died, I would find him and kill him. :D Although now his damage is a mere 20k, it was double than what he had lol. | ||
