Don't get your first HC character powerleveled and rush into inferno. You won't learn anything and you'll just die straight away. Seen it happen so many times and then people get frustrated and give up. The leveling process gives you a chance to learn skills that you never learnt in softcore and it's far better you die leveling a few times than at 60.

In softcore the game begins at level 60 but in HC it begins at level 1.`The faster you rush, the faster you'll die.


Not my first HC


That's good, in general though for others reading the thread I think it's good advice.

Is there any hardcore / WD guide out there? I'd like to know which level and AR / HP etc. is required for the different difficulties and which skills are the best for a HC WD.

Started fresh over the holiday, almost 60 on my WD. Wish there was better community support in the game so it'd be easier to find TL people.



SkyOtter#1211

edit: would love to find a couple 'loot buddies' of different classes that are around the same gear level (newly 60) to share drops with as we gear up at 60 ^^

Had a bunch of HC characters, all dead now.

52 WD died to lag (resumed in the middle of a zone, lagged and killed)

47 Barb died to elite Maniacs with Vortex (srsly?) they vortexed me from behind a door and instantly blew up on me. Was kind of hilarious tbh.

53 Barb died to a d/c. Fail.

60 Barb I lost legit to in the glories of A1 inferno pre-nerf (1.2? I think)

HC is pretty fun if you have the patience for it. A few friends to help you along the way and it's a grand old time. The only thing that sucks is d/c deaths and lag deaths. Good internet connection required :p
But CC isn't protown as town. 100% real heuristic.

Playing WD at the moment.
Act1 was comfortable with around 20k dps and about 600 AR, and some decent armor value (around 4k) with a shield in offhand.
Act3 was farmable with around 25-30k dps and 600~700 AR, 4.5k armor and a shield.
Currently farming Act3 with dmg-offhand at 41k dps, 700 ar and 4.5k armor.

A Barb is always nice to have if you want to switch from shiled to dmg-off. makes it a lot easy to transition smoothly.

Most important thing is to get about 600 LoH at least and just spam Acid Cloud.

You want something like:

HC is the way to go. Even if all my level 60's are dead. I only ever played SC up until I could make a HC character.

I was think of changing to the US server because I quite like the idea of levelling the Blacksmith and Jeweller again and teaching them recipes and having no cash to start with. As I will be playing on EU and US feel free to add me Oxslow#2669 I currently have a mid 30 monk on EU.

EDIT: GGRRR Have so level a SC on US server before I can create a HC

Hey,

I just started playing D3 again, and looking at just doing HC! I was wondering what is the fastest way to level up a new charater! Should I play with MP levels or just cruise through as quickly as possible on MP0. Just lost my 51 monk to the keywarden. Now starting to level a DH, add me up if anyone wants to play

Watch for auctions running out. I bought my first set of items (act1 farming gear) for around 1m-1,5m and sold the stuff when i had better gear for approx. 3m cause I bid on the items and shot some good deals by it.
