You got me hyped. I'm picking up the game again.

I didn't even think of doing hardcore when I first got bored in softcore. Probably because when I bought the game, hardcore was so out of the question that I imediatly cut it out of the game in my mind.
But now I realize that I need to play the game more "cazualy" to enjoy it maybe. Try new classes in normal, fight for something else than gold, maybe even enjoy the lore (something I never actualy did)... And hardcore seems like a good place to do that. Thanks I guess =).

Currently the only reason i'm enjoying the game is because i'm leveling two chars in hardcore WD/DH and completely ignoring the existence of the AH.

Who knew finding my own upgrades would be fun :p

The first ten levels are a cake walk for any class, so you should be fine with whichever you like for your disconnecting situation

Tho a witchdoc or a barb should be the best in the disco. They just have the sickest dance moves! :D
Nah but with a lot of life regen stacked you can even survive disco's in inferno act3.
Barb is just imba in terms of defensive stats and witchdoc has pets who can tank while you char patiently waits for the 10 seconds disconnect.

Mmm I never really got into D3 (even though I bought it launch day haha) but the idea of dying and never coming back really piques my interest (like with fire emblem etc, except the stakes are higher here > ).

That said DH was a really fun class for me..how bad is it to start DH ?

Is Hardcore Gold <-> Softcore Gold trading still a thing? Is there a market for it?

If you got friends to team up with DH is fine, I dont enjoy playing DH solo in HC though

Anyone got HC farming spots to share?

I only know my old school ones from pre-1.0.5 SC. Dinged 60 on my WD a few days ago and did Butcher runs to grab some basic gear. I'm now doing A2 runs (Vault, Black Canyon, Cistern etc) with 50kish life, 500 res all and 20k dps. Should I just stick with this until I've got gear for act 3 gear or are there better runs now? Also, what kind of gear level am I looking at before moving on to Act 3?

My first HC level 60 just died, paragon 5. I'm actually not even upset, I'm proud I got there on my 2nd hardcore character! I am a bit disappointed that I died right after making a bunch of fresh level 60 friends to play with but I think I can make it back quick enough. I bumped up to MP1 Inferno and got taken out entering the first area I went to because of an elite right next to the portal. Quick lag spike from my computer after entering a new area and bam, down because of a jailer and arcane beam :D

look at diablofans.com in the forum. There are some threads. Last time I checked the rate is 5:1 which is pretty awesome to farm hc gold and convert it.

You want to go for mp0 Act3 farming.
You can leave out bastions keep lv2 and core of arreat (nasty blues and me personally, I hate banelings) and always farm the warden, key can drop on mp0 and you want lots of keys

I'll repost from earlier page:
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.

Thanks a ton! Those are some good benchmarks to work towards. I'll keep doing my Act 2 runs for the time being, just added A2 Keywarden as someone from TL reminded me of that last night. Still getting used to this new stuff.

Keeps 2... lol... I'm staying away from there as long as possible ^^

Its funny, the stuff I love the most isn't the hardcore aspect itself, but more the clean start ala D2 ladder system.
It was fun having an empty stash and no gold and actually having to rely on found items.

But the death thing won't work for me I think. I average one/two disconnects a day so my chances of even making it past Normal are slim. Its a pity there's no middleground option between Death Is Cheap and Death is Permanent.

Edit : My first WD made it about as far as the jails, and then I got a disconnect at pretty much the worst possible time.

When D3 first came out and I played it, I was disappointed in that piece of crap. But then I read unkkz's original HC thread and I got inspired. I created a HC character and haven't look back at softcore since. In HC, I actually have fun trying to progress and just trying to get to the end. Softcore is boring as hell, as all it is: Is get to end game ASAP then grind for the auction house.... Gear your toon up as much as possible and make her a trophy. I realize many people get attached to their trophy characters, but D3 to me is all about the progression of HC. Not the "end-game" or feeding the AH machine.

My first dead hc char. Monk lvl 59, vortexed into a bunch of these fat constructs in the realm of shadow. Guess i have to start from the beggining.

Is there any good soul that can power level my char a little bit? I'm playing on Europe

My farming group is looking for a well geared tanky barb to farm Inferno mp0 act 3 and mp2-3 key runs.

My profile: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Lega-1694/hero/29464568

Add me if you are interested, Lega#1694

Will be running tonight until 3-4am!
