bawww, i blew all my money (only like 300k lol) to buy gear for ghom and it was stupidly easy - don't think i needed to buy any of it. should've tested on softcore first :<

oh well, found a 900k gem plan so hopefully i can sell that and get some real (albeit still mediocre) upgrades

edit: ok nvm i got greedy and died to some really dumb affix phasebeasts LOL

Nekarat, or whatever his name is, is the scariest thing in the whole game now. He has jailer, knockback (not sure ?), rushes at you and does something like the barb's earthquake which melts your face unbelievably fast. You MUST take a cc breaker to stand a chance.

Or just avoid him altogether

That's the one. What a bastard. I went and got my revenge with my SC DH immediately after.

What a scary douche!

I saw this on the Hardcore AH (US)...

Is that cold damage bonus simply because of running MP10?

That item along with the horadric hamburger can roll 600+dps however can only be found in inferno pony level. The Mp lvl does not matter for its stats.

Lost my 60/6 DH about a month ago when the patch hit, dicking around with a Sentry+Custom Engineering spec. I got a waller/arcane pack in the Act 1 prison map, and got walled in to one of those little cells with a couple arcane beams, and an empty discipline bar. After that I had to let the game sit for a good two weeks, but now after a silly death in Act 3 Normal, I've got my new 60 and I'm finally caught up to my old char gear-wise.

I had died before I really got a chance to try out Monster Power, and damn MP0 is nothing like the old Inferno. Act 2 went from being terrifying half the time to face-tanking the whole thing, and Act 3 went from being off limits completely to my normal farming area. I guess the real question will be when I feel safe to step it up to MP1.

http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/eluv-1891/Eluv/28295792

That's my new char, missing some upgraded gloves while the servers reset. I think I'm at the point where I should be trying to spend a couple million on my next piece, but any advice on which I should put the gold into would be appreciated - keeping in mind I have essentially 0 right now, so I'm not exactly going to be sporting a 3pc Nats+Mempo any time soon.

Basically the exact same thing that happened to me, except i got lucky, dropped some blackthorne legs with +215 Vit (yes that exists), and now im rolling at 90 K dps no sharpshooter. Mp1 eZ pZ.

But man DH still gives you some fuckin adrenalin shots, Im playing my Barb now with 2h to get the same feelin' ^^

Alright, I think I am going to take the plunge into HC. Leveling my SC wiz simply is not that much fun; the most viable lvling build for wiz is not viable in group play. But I see that group play is encouraged for a number of reasons in HC, and that's appealing. I've leveled a SC monk to 60 and my wiz to para 55, so I'm definitely ready for a different class; maybe Barb is a good starting place? Or should I go DH and just get used to dieing? =D

Well, I've lost 8 Demon hunters on HC so far, one of them being 60, the others anywhere from 4(!) to 57, and I have to say things have improved significantly with the latest patch. Now that Perfectionist gives you a way to scale your defensive stats, it's significantly easier to get to a reasonable level of EHP.

That said, I still think any other class is going to have an easier time at least getting you to 60. Levelling a barb with a shield and some defensive skills basically means you'll never be threatened till A4 hell at least. The other three all fall somewhere in between, but whatever you choose, I hope you end up converting to the HC side.

I think wd is probably the safest at 60 tbh... especially when you have bad gear.

plus wrath of the berserker for stuff like frozen, jailer,

Sorc died at 54.
Barb died at 52.
Monk died at 54.
I thought "fuck it", but somehow I still want a level 60 HC-char. Let's see if it is my WD.

I ragequitted back to my SC barb!
