Good day to those of you with the larger sets of nuts, playing hardcore and slappin it like a hoe... I was mainly wondering how you all go about leveling your characters, and the most effective way to get / upgrade your gear, whether it be hours of farming, or AH/rmAH, friends etc. Any and all info on starting out, leveling, gearing up, and general tips on HC would be much appreciated!
Thanks guys! Belial usually only gives me a problem in sc when I'm playing hell or inferno.. so good point... what about gear? Do you guys like beat act 1 then go back through it a couple times? Or do you get to act 3 and farm certain spots?
It helps to always have an escape plan in mind. If something unexpected occurs, you know which way you want to run and what defensive or escape skills to respond with.
thanks cancerbat, that's actually a pretty good idea, which i haven't even considered... when you log back in, do you end up back inside the cave? is that what you're saying?
that's a valid point, Livingwater, escape plans are one of my main bamma jammas... i'll be playing a witchdoctor, so that will certainly be easy with spirit vessel / spirit walk... appreciate the input guys!
My main piece of advise is to learn quickly when you need to run away. If you're not topped, and don't have anyway to heal yourself immediately .. start looking for a way out.
To go along with that, when you're running from an elite (and you will have to do this as you gear up) don't EVER run toward uncovered portions of the map. Ever! It's a good way to over pull and wind up having to reroll.
And remember, Over-leveled, over-geared, over-prepared.
thanks a bunch guys! still lookin for a good place to farm gear, though... "overgeared" is what i'm lookin for, but i'm old fashioned, i'm lookin to farm a spot for a bit for levels and / or upgrades!
i started a HC wiz tonight. hadnt played HC yet. I took her all the way thru Maghda with no problems. I may go back and try the Halls of Agony on a higher MP just to farm and help a couple friends get the checkpoints.
as far as farming, i would think the locations would be the same typical locations as SC. Just have be a lot more cautious.
MP10 HC, for me, is a "feat of strength". Not to mention you get + to exp + to MF/GF. Could easily level to 60 on any of the chars at MP0, but why go easy MP10 on normal is just leveling on hyper speed. It's once you hit nightmare that you really start sweating (or at least I did).
Got to 52 on a HC Wiz last night, got raped by elite hulking phasebeast. Just couldnt get away
Have a 60 HC Barb (probably easiest for me to level).
Good luck on the DH I lost mine sadly due to lag along with my other barb. So squishy but it's really fun

That's what it feels like when your beloved HC character gets mauled and killed by some raging demon hellbent on wreaking havoc on all things living.
