I have to play the game on 800x600 and with everything else on low and the game stills lags a lot for me. Is it still worth playing hc you think?

you'll probably just get really frustrated. HC is fun, but I wouldn't recommend it if you notice that you get disconnected a lot in SC.

currently lvl 57 barb in act2, 52k hp and 3.4k dmg. almost died a few times in act1 and act2 sewers after magda. weeping hollow is dangerous if ur lvl 50, and after magda is super dangerous in those sewers even at lvl 57. Leap iron impact probably best escape skill ever. That along with ground stomp, you can waypoint out pretty easily.

Barb imba imo.

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 )

I've started making new suicide characters - remaking classes I already have, but using unsafe skill combos, 2 handers, loading up on DPS stats instead of defence, etc. Not spending any gold on their gear, and not keeping any good gear on them either.

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!

Maybe I'm an oddball but I actually think the gameplay itself in this game is fun. 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.

I hope all of softcore comes over to hardcore. Hardcore is how the game is meant to be played

Question - Currently a lvl60 barb on Asia HC
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?

In act 2 right before you save adria from the serpent mob in the sewers, there is a purple elite. This purple elite morphs into a ghost and a crawler that explodes into poison. This elite turns invulnerable, be careful. Its not shielding.

Killing mobs, knew something was wrong when stuff began looping and the damage numbers weren't showing up. Tried to spam esc to pause the game, still looping, tried running back to waypoint, it's gone. Message pops up and said I dc'ed from server and throws me back to the character select screen with my dead hero. Was almost 60.

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

Ya the game is a bit buggy when it comes to hit detection. It gets pretty frustrating even in SC, when you get 'long armed'.

Have a lvl 59 barb, looking to get some HC vets to help me ease into act3 on NA HC. RIP june (

Anyone have tips on the best map to XP farm? 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.

the siege of bastions keep is good, just kill the first swarm that comes down the stairs, walk out and exit game, rinse repeat.
the beginning of stone fort is also good. u kill the seige that comes from the pit and some birds, then u kill the purple boss that comes on the draw bridge.

Best farms - ACT III beginning part where you have to light the fire, if you can kill the mobs fast this is highly efficient. You can even go all the way through the catapults as they will all give you some exp, but takes some time.

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 tried this a few times, but I lost interest because I usually died around 10-20, and you don't have a full set of interesting skills until level 30.

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.
Such flammable little insects!

Just got this item on Asia HC (Sorry its in Chinese)
[image loading]

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.

Anyone know the recommended stats for DH trying to beat Belial Hell? I'm kinda afraid of phase 2 (his first form + minions).
