I've been enjoying my first few days playing HC. People overall are more likely to chat and I noticed that people will drop blues and rares that they might think would benefit you or another party member. Haven't seen such kindness on the internet in forever haha.

I did have my first death yesterday though, at least it was on an alt. I like to raid WoW and play D3 at the same time. I'm guessing I aggroed a random zombie from a distance at some point, so while thinking it was safe to tab out, I got killed by a single fat zombie bastard =_=. RIP lvl 8 Barb.

I mean im only levelling but hell i'd be willing to do ANYTHING on HC with some buddies...(giggity)

Hit me up with ur name? i cant remember my bnet id so will update later with it

BTW is there any trick to finding teammates with pub games? I feel like the monster level messes things up alot with finding games / being found

Progress report! Level 52 now, making my way through Hell with a buddy! Playing with friends sure does make the game fun <3.

I know now that I was playing EXTREMELY safe. But, I think I'll give the question another go now that I'm in Hell. At the moment I have 32K life, 3000 armor buffed, and 11K DPS. Anyone have a benchmark for the Butcher?

I'm still using the standard, blizzard/hydra with DS and teleport. Main attack is SB with LS, is the range increase rune viable later on?

How are you even supposed to play inferno with self-found?

It just takes forever, but you'll manage somehow. Wiz is pretty bad imo, but playing with your friend will make it easier.

Hey, how do I get more DPS as a wizard? My level 54 demon hunter friend has built his up to 37 thousand off of cheap gear and I cannot for the life of me find a good 1 handed weapon for less than 1 million (he found all his in the 100k or less).

My gear is better than his, all except for the weapon. Do demon hunter weapons cost less in general? Did he just get lucky? Right now I'm sitting at around 15K buffed (977 damage 2-hander with 1.10 attack speed) and he's just obliterating everything with multi-shot before I can even do anything to it on Act II Hell difficulty. I'm not too worried about it and am content to let him have his fun, but what I am WORRIED about is the future.

Am I just going to have to accept the fact that I cannot get by without 1 million gold or more? How are you even supposed to play inferno with self-found?

wait, what? 37k pre-60?

my para 34 wd has 38k dps and can easily farm mp5 inferno.....

38k for MP5? Are you talking solo or with a group? Before my 110k WD died, I didn't think farming above MP3/4 was efficient when soloing.

yes, mp5 act1 solo farming with a firebats build. went perfectly smooth with 38k dps. now i am at 49k dps and tried mp6 last night, it was kinda slow. so i still farm mp5 with my 49k dps, but my killspeed is not that much higher than with 38k dps. i complete a festering -> manor -> fields + possibly scavenger den and crypt run maybe 3 minutes quicker now compared to the situation with 38k dps, while such a run takes me about 40-45 minutes.

I feel like using a bats + bears build on MP1 would be more efficient for you. I can't imagine MP5 being efficient with 40k dps.

R.I.P. Fatbeard, LVL57 Demon Hunter. Died to Belial on ACT II Hell, due to an unfortunate vault after the rage timer had gone off. This was my friend's FIRST hardcore character too.

I myself survived, but sadly I am not in a position to powerlevel. I guess the best answer is to make a new character with my buddy and go at it again!
