The point is to prevent people from leaving games to get out of shitty situations, which unfortunately causes the opposite problem more often than not.

Ah, good point, but can't those players still do it by tp out of the battle?

No, TP has a five second channel time in which you cannot be attacked or it cancels.

Only if you have a skill like Monk's Serenity where you are immune for a portion of the cast time and hope you dodge any other attacks. (Ascension lasts 4 seconds, TP is 5 or so).
Maybe add a list of stuff/skills/etc each class can do to save any buddies that are clearly DCing. Off the top of my head for Monk: CCing mobs away with: LTK:Sweeping Armada (knockback) or BoH: Pentinent Flame (fear).. or reducing damage to party members: Inner Sanc: Circle of Protection (35% 5 sec), Mantra of Evasion: Divine Protection (80% 3 sec), or the once OP Serenity: Tranquility (Immunity: 1 sec). I saved one random walled in wizard about to get scissored by arcane beams with tranquility once! He then complained I wasn't using overawe -_-

Wondering what class you should choose!? TAKE THE HARDCORE PERSONALITY QUIZ NOW!
http://snack.to/qtjfoffn
Wow, this site is awful, I almost wanna remake it on a different site lol -_-
|
that quiz is borked. I tried my hardest to get DH as my answer and I got monk instead.
|
I think it's pretty shitty lol, mostly jsut for fun
gonna try to make a real one eventually 
|
Your quiz says I should be a wizard when clearly I am a witch doctor. On a more serious note I would remove the Chosan bitching from the WD section. Otherwise good guide!
|
I guess I should play hardcore now since poke is so convincing! 
Poke, I might need a 2b loan for hardcore soon! ^_^v

This is a really good thread... its a shame I can't get in to D3 like I did D2. I miss the fun of a hardcore grind but I just can't keep myself interested in D3.
|
Thanks for this guide Pokebunny. The HC thread has got me back into D3.

" I want to play with one hand on my dick [...]"
-> Monk!
hahahaha

My WD literally just died a minute ago. Damn it.
Edit: Only lvl 13 so nbd but still...

LOL sorry about the terrible quiz guys
One hand on your dick corresponds to WD, your other answers must be more monk-like
@phil clearly you do not embrace the WD spirit
@all - I'm really glad you guys like it, and I hope I can motivate you to play! glad to help anywhere I can :D

Is it worth it to level up on monster powers? Yes I know HC is all about not dieing, but is the higher MP actually making you level faster? Havent played D3 in months so I dont know the xp rates you get from leveling on MP

I leveled my DH up playing on the highest mp that allowed me to still clear everything very quickly (mostly 1 shots) and only had a couple near-death experiences. If you're buying gear every few levels then it's definitely better to up the MP.
|
If you have xp gear you'll hit 60 before the end of hell anyway, but really it doesn't matter all that much as long as you're clearing quickly.

I'm planning on leveling a WD on hardcore, if anyone wants to roll a new character add me. pibacc#1188
