Hello my name is Bravoscript#1956 Europe. I am an experienced player in Diablo 3 Hardcore. I now want to play diablo 3 in the correct method, that is hardcore self found items only. I have had 3 previcesly level 60 hardcore characters, but with the use of AH.
What i am asking for is people, who wanna play the self found item method on the Europe server. We will make farm parties, taking down thoose bosses, and slowly progress against diablo and a higher MP. I am currently a lvl 58 Wizard (female .

People who are interested are very welcome to add me as friend in battlenet. Bravoscript#1956 Europe.
Just started playing self-found on HC on my monk. I'm taking things really slow since I'm playing on mp10 (still in act 1 normal) and clearing almost all the maps so I can find loot. Since you're already level 58, do you have any tips for playing this way in HC? Did you find crafting gear useful at all? And since gold is almost useless in a self found game, did you salvage all the blues/rares you found or just sell it?
crafting gear helps, i only played on MP0, makes it 1000 times easier You dont gain anything from MP10, since it takes 100 times longer, and in the end, the mobs will not give you any experience, since you are to high lvl.
So I was wondering what routes in a3 do you guys use for fast paragon.
A lot of routes used in softcore are just too dangerous for hardcore. To be more precise, any route that starts at the end of the core or at the beginning of one of the towers (going back into areat crater) can get you insta gibbed if you get a bad lag spike and that kind of good jazz... I lost a Paragon 19 DH with 95k dps like that, trust me, you don't want to have that happen to you.
After lurking a bit all around, I found this one:
Called the Big 6 (or something else, but w/e), it feels a lot safer because you start at the fort and go backwards; you then go tower of the damned, go round, go keeps 2, rakkis, slaughter and finally arreat crater 2. I take out keeps 2 if someone in my group is scared and I take out slaughter if someone doesnt have movement speed boost (IMO the fields are only interesting if you have 24%, but i still do them with 12%)...
I used to run Keep 3 -> TD1 -> Rakkis -> Fields -> K2 -> Crater 1 -> Crater 2 -> Core -> Stonefort on my archon wiz before I just started doing straight alkaizers.

From what ive read this route (the one in the link) is better than the Alkhaizer route! Not as good for loot (even though i believe the number of packs doesnt really change anything to loot... its like the lottery: you buy 2 tickets, you have double the chance of winning, but hey your still at 1 on 30 000 000, so...), but 10-15% better xp/hour!

I'm also a pretty experienced hardcore player and I respectfully disagree with this ^^ I always recommend to play through Normal on MP10 when you start a HC character. Normal is so ridiculously easy that you might as well milk as many levels out of it as you can. Plus, the higher level you are, the better the gear that drops for you. You get levels sooooooo fast playing on MP10 and the game is still manageable I feel if you play correctly.
Then when you get to Act3, farm the core / craters for experience until you feel comfortable to move on (since this area is the best to farm experience).

Wrong, so wrong. It's actually the opposite. You level higher and quicker than you would at MP0, but the gear that drops is based on mob level, so the drops you get are worse and worse as you level up.
Until you hit around level 50 and then the curve evens out.

Got 45k hp 800 res all 18k dps 1000 life on hit
Maybe I am ready for mp1 but I just feel my dps is quite low and that endangers things.
you shouldn't run above a3 mp0 ever for any reason unless you're 100k+ dps
i had 130k dps base archon wiz and i still ran mp0 a3
Alright, finally uploaded my looong video of my full act 4 inferno hardcore playthrough. Complete with "supporting" commentary from my friends. Hope you enjoy!
So if any new HC players are looking for some HC gold and want to to trade their SC for my HC gold, I quit HC and I'm offering a 4:1 ratio (4m SC for 1m HC). Have 90m in stock, anyone wanna trade?
