That is what I am worried about. I do not have the patience for hardcore. It would be futile at best.
You should definitely follow the rules of a new season when building a hardcore character. Namely wait until you have a challenge rift available so that your HC char can build up the crafters and start off with a ton of mats and gold.
Wizard is my favorite HC class due to so many shields and cheat deaths. Plus they do so much damage from range that they easily avoid being hit. That said, the best bet for 65 gems is being GR 75+ capable which is when things get hairy for HC and SC alike.
I would definitely go wiz for HC. I may go that way for the gems to 65. Doing 6 sets on regular. That would be enough.
I just hit 70 with my HC Demon Hunter. Probably going to go for the 65 gems. Although, Boss Mode was easy with my Tempest Monk so it's probably pretty doable with a spin to win DH.
That is my plan. 65 on HC and SC. 6 sets on SC. (I need 3 more sets and I haven't gotten mundunugu's yet)
If I could loot a damned etched sigil, it would be down to one set. (GR 55 with etched + firebirds and.or dmo would be cake)
Technically with a halo of karini many wiz sets would be easy.
Spin to win DH is soooo fun!
You guys definitely have big brass ones for rolling up HC toons. I totally got caught with my pants down yesterday using the DH in a GR. You can pick up so much speed it gets hard to control and I fatally spun into an Elite death explosion. Gotta practice safe driving!
The key to HC is cheat death passives and reducing GR level 5 levels below what you should be able to clear.
If you can clear GR 75, then you should be practically one shotting enemies in GR 70.
One shotting limits being hit to near zero so the only concern is making sure to have enough exits and roaming room when you fight the rift guardian.
It probably isn't necessary but the fact you can get 3 immunity amulets with the extra cube slot could offer a lot more assurances in higher GRs.
I’m not sure what to do for my last Slayer Journey mission for the Set Dungeon. It isn’t clear to me which set I should be wearing to get the clue in the Royal Quarters.
Isn’t it just “wear the one you want the clue for”? You’ll get the dungeon clue for the set you wear.
I need one more conquest. Hmm, hardcore modes or timing things?
I just got the HC Boss Mode, so hit me up if you want help with that.
Are there any bosses that spawn in an area capable of having a shrine? Because that would make Boss Mode a lot easier. (the shadow clone kills bosses and elite packs in half a second)
Me personally is going the HC route. If you have a friend(s), I would do the boss mode one. Especially if at least one of you is a wizard or monk.
When are you on next, fang? I can run you through Boss Mode in either HC or Regular.
Probably not until next week.
I am caring for my dad in Los Angeles this week.
Ok, I'll keep Blizzard on. PM me and I'll help you out.
*edit* Just remembered what's happening next week. I'll be here Monday and possibly Tuesday. If that doesn't work, week after next I'll be home.
I am in for regular. Got a HC but still working on it. Doing the gems to 65 there. Doing either Bosses or 6 sets on regular. Bosses saves me a ton of time.
Me too if I can work out the timing.
I'll hop on tonight if you guys are available. I've been playing Skyrim. Skyrim.
Whelp, paragon 157 barb has died. Opened a door to half a dozen of those running splody guys in my face. Already back into the 50's with gear I had stashed. I will catch up with you this weekend and get some stuff happening.

Taps soulfully played in the background. Time for some bourbon.
I haven't been playing Diablo for a while but I gotta say it warms my heart to see all these hardcore chars being played. Maybe I need to hop back in for a bit.
Honestly, I shied away from HC because, you know, permadeath. This season's conquests drove me to it. But once it happened, it was like a bandage being ripped off. Everything was ok in the end. And leveling a character that could be wiped from existence was more fun than I thought. I will not, however, push grifts because I know I won't last a day.

Played to the tune of Debbie Gibsons I think we're alone now.

Or Weird Al's "I think I'm a clone now" since he probably rerolled the same class.....

Actually, Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now". Or Tommy James and the Shondells- who was the original artist that Tiffany covered.
Different artist's rendition for every time the same class is rerolled ;P

Now that's a special kind of Diablo hell.
Now I am going to have to be drunk to take all of that music in a row.
To the Whisk(e)y thread for ideas!

I was 15 years old when this came out, wow! (Tiffany's version anyway)
