@convention - please don't answer questions you don't know the answer to, thanks! @Shottaz - yes, it has. And no, AR and armor are both percentage mitigation stats. Hover over the tooltips in the character screen -> details tab. @Oxslow - glad you like it, good luck! | ||

There is no point running through HC complete out gearing the content on your first play through of every race IMO. You can still easily afford AH gear on just the stuff you find yourself and vendor. Only thing you probably can't afford is Cain's, everything else can be gotten for less than 10k/slot. | ||

You want it to have the same speed as you would on an ideal farming run, meaning you one shot most mobs. Might not be able to do mp10 in hell or late nightmare but all a person really needs for MP10 normal + most of nightmare is a weapon with a socket and a ruby. | ||

2 questions I have though. Is playing normal/nightmare/hell worth playing on a higher MP instead of just MP0 on the next difficulty? Also I'm currently playing the Wizard with frost nova, crystal armor and time warp and energy(?) armor for survivability. I feel like time warp has to go, my damager skills are just magic missile (or whatever you start with) and arcane orb with obliterate. Would you recommend switching out my damage skills as well as taking time warp out for teleport? Thanks for the writeup | ||

My friend and I are running Wizard and DH so it sounds like its going to be interesting. I personally hate the whole AH side of D3 so I plan on not using it at all so I'm hoping self found gear will be enough with patience. 2 questions I have though.

Thanks for the writeup 1) Ideally you want to be one shotting most things, so as long as you turn mp up a little and you still are, that is fine. Playing self found you'll most likely want to keep it on 0 or possibly 1, but I wouldn't reccomend going much higher if any unless you got lucky with drops. 2)Either blizzard or arcane hydra would be good choices, it would give you more aoe and they are both good spells to kite with so you can stay out of danger. | ||

Cleave (Reaping Swing for extra fury) Whirlwind(Hurricane) Revenge (Vengeance is mine,for Healing and Fury) Rend (Blood Lust For Healing) War Cry ( Invigorate , for regeneration and Life, will switch with impunity once i reach it) Ground Stomp ( Wrenching Smash for pulling enemies closer so its easier to hit them with whirlwind) Passives are nerves of steel, tough as nails and inspiring presence so i regenerate even more life.I will switch inspiring presence with Brawler or Weapon Mastery as soon as i see issues with my dps. I really appreciate hardcore because i was able to sell so many items during my leveling - something that never happened in SC since the AH is a joke there, overflooded with items. I sold a 30str/30dex/20vit/11 movement speed boots for lvl21 for 50k . Whoa nice! Been selling helms with vit/sockets for low levels too , for 4-5k each. It's really good for a hc novice like me. I'm running solo so i really pay attention to my gear and browse the AH for the best offers for my level. I have 700k gold and i gear myself only from cheap 5-6k items that make it possible for me to progress easily without fear of dying. Had a couple of OMG moments when i almost died which was a really great feeling, first time diablo 3 manages to raise my adrenalin. HC is great. It's what real men play. PS : and yeah, i love using a shield. I loved using shield in d2 and was so disappointed everyone was using offhands in d3 instead of sexy sexy shields. I cant wait until i find/trade my first monarch. | ||

I don't see the game as any less "hardcore" just because you want to trade your things that are useful to others for things that are useful to you. | ||

Its not trading per se, its purchasing with an easily farmable currency. Buying items that let your ignore every mechanics and makes you unkillable sorts of defeats the purpose of HC, especially while leveling. Buying upgrades is of a different order. | ||

You are envisioning some guy buying thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear and then sticking only to mp0 so he literally can't die to anything ever. While I'm sure guys like that exist, they are extremely rare and most are idiots/terrible players who still find ways to die. The AH in hardcore is very different from softcore. Those items you are referring to may not even exist on the hc server and if they do, it's once every few months one pops up for billions of gold. The vast majority of hc players will never know that kind of wealth. The AH helps you handle the content, but it most certainly isn't an easy button you push and suddenly you're invincible. | ||

I haven't bought much unid in hc but I have sold a few big ticket items unid - something I never ever would have considered doing in sc. But I needed the gold and good unid items go for A TON of gold in hc. It's a gamble in the purest sense of the word. If you buy you could roll a 2B item or lose millions. Just like if you sell you risk letting go of that 2B+ item for a hundred million or so. If I had the gold to play with I wouldn't mind buying some but I really really hate selling unid. | ||

There's no character in the game that can do MP10 at no risk. There's always more challenge for yourself. Of course if you were to stick to MP0 act 1 you could create a character that never dies... but that's basically the same as saying you could create a level 60 character that would never die in Nightmare. Obviously if you play insanely safe you will never die, but people don't play like that because it's boring. | ||
