But the ecstasy of finding a cutlass that boosted my DPS from 400 to 700 made self-found all worth it I too was having fun with a self found barb, however i just did something very silly and now my 60(2) old fella is dust . uff | ||

Just got to inferno on self found characters and I know A1 was easy but that was a joke, nowhere close to dying. I guess next few acts will maybe make me eat my words. To quote myself here because its funny, my friend and I playing our self found first HC chars suffered a casualty. We were in A2 inferno, didnt feel too confident leading up to Belial (we were at zolton) so we decided to farm A1 and I suggest it on MP1 since it was very easy the first time. I didnt know it boosted the monster density so much and we tp'd to fields of misery (inexperience) and my friend died due to lag/1000 monsters that he couldnt escape. My fault for not knowing MP1 would do that, I played another guy for him rushed to lvl 55 so far on the DH but man does it feel like I could die at any second even with prep vault smoke screen. | ||

So really you want to farm a1 mp0 until you feel comfortable killing belial and then you can farm a3 mp 0. But you have to be careful, there is still a big difference between a1 and a3. For sure, I feel stupid now it was my fault I suggested it. I wasnt aware of the density thing which is the main reason. As for getting the DH back to 60 man is it scary, so many close encounters. I using prep,smoke screen, vault, companinon bat, hungering arrow and rapid fire. Probably not the best but it seems decent. At Belial now, would suck to die before 60. | ||

I didn't have my cooldowns ready and met a Mallet Lord elite pack with Knockback Vortex and Desecrator. I couldn't get out in time to take an health globe as they pulled me in and then killed me. I should have played more carefully, this just feels horrible. I got my all res gear to enter Inferno and everything and to end like this.. Well, I guess I won't be touching hardcore again. 30 hours down the drain doesn't feel like fun. | ||

Ask a friend to boost you if you are close to dying or go back and level in safe places If I had my WotB I would have easily killed them but without it just 5 seconds of 65% less dmg wasn't enough. I kept getting knockbacked, and my Rend heal rune could not keep me up. I chugged a potion, and kept fighting, however they got 2-3 more attacks and knockbacks and I was down to 30-40% of health. I tried to move to a health globe and they pulled me towards them and then killed me. I felt pretty bad yesterday but now I feel like I wanna avenge this death. Already started a Barb, level 6 right now. Thankfully my latest acquired gear through AH was not on me (except my Cindercoat which had pretty good stats for Inferno starting gear) I think I'll treat this death as a learning experience: 1) Never get cocky (I was pretty cocky since I 1-2 shot most stuff including most elites, which made me overconfident) 2) Play Act 4 Hell with others. I don't wanna get to there and die again. 3) Stop playing when sleepy. I was a little bit sleepy last night, that might have contributed to my death. | ||

Ask a friend to boost you if you are close to dying or go back and level in safe places lol, ask a friend cuz too hard. :D all you need is a decent weapon, its the most important factor to do damage even in hardcore. most ppl tend to play way too safe, but the longer you fight, the more damage you take as well! feeling pretty comfortable with my WD now, paragon 19 reached, can safely farm mp2 act1 or mp1 act3. started about a month ago from scratch (had 40k gold from a past try^^). If you dont play selffound: try to buy new weapons every 10 levels for about ~10k gold, and you get trough pretty safely will all chars. also, replace gear that is really, really weak for your level, and can be replaced by a way better one for up to 10k gold. Also, already try to bet on low cost but decent lvl 60 gear - thats super important imo as you can safe a shitton of money and already gear up at 60 once you reach it. You can also make your life easier by spending ~50k-80k gold on level 50-52ish for a weapon with > 500 damage, hell will be fairly easy then. Another tip from Nightmare on is to acutally read what affixes the elite packs have before attacking them - this way you can prepare for a fight way better. | ||

You really shouldn't buy a significant amount of gear before level 60, level 60 gear is about 100 times better. I generally try to hit 60 in early act 3 on my first character; just run skycrown/stonefort over and over til 60. | ||

Think I'm going to continue a Barbarian I have at level 30 based off of your information, but will try wizard if/when I die. Thanks for putting this together Pokebunny. And if you have any extra helpful hints or anything, please let me know. Cheers. | ||

I just hit lvl 60 with my wd and i used the bats all along the way. They are definitely still the best imo for low geared wd's, you can't survive running in and using bats. | ||
