Just wondering, with hardcore mode, can you get to level 60 solo? or do you have to co-op? Just finished hardcore normal, and I'm wondering when it gets difficult. I've not played normal mode so i have no idea how difficult nightmare, hell and inferno are.

My character's a level 33 Barbarian and I've been keeping my armor and equipment up to date through the auction house and she's at 4.5k hp, 1760 armor and 650dps. Is that ok for survivability and pew pew for now?

edit: It seems to lag for me after server maintenance, when that happens i usually just stop to check on the AH for bargains

need recommended barb stats before facing diablo HC nightmare.

Mine now is
lvl 51,
18kHP
4k armor (62% DR, warcry +20% armor)
3k dmg, (Rage +30% dmg rune)
26% dodge(warcry + dodge 15% rune)
15 all resist (may be 11 all resist only. i nvr stack this stats until hell>.<)

Skill.
Frenzy + side arm
Super Saiyan transformation + 100% dmg
Revange + 8% heath each hit.
Warcry + 15% dodge
Rage + 30% dmg
Rush + recover 2secs coodown each hit.

Do i have to reduce my health and get some more armor or resist?
At this time all gear @ AH is very expensive.
I almost die a few time to reach the door before diablo.
i dun wanna die without preparing myself to face him/herlol.

Should i get more HP or armor?
Dmg is hard to increase due to weapon price so damn expensive.
May be ill swap rush with leap...so i can leap over the two holes when i need to kite Leah.

OK so my barbarian just died at lvl 37 due to my own stupidity, so i don't have 1st hand experience of diablo in nightmare. I did however find this video:



I think he abuses bash with the clobber rune to keep diablo in stun lock. Is that still possible or have they nerfed it?

The ultimate hardcore rules don't seem that hardcore to me... It's so easy to cheat esp once you get to level 15 and you have access to gear with gem slots. Rules should stipulate that you're only allowed to equip gear that you find.

In fact, not being allowed to use loot that you find immediately is really taking away from the best part of the game, having something nice drop for you.

The game would be so much harder if you just had the one rule: only use loot that you find (no AH allowed and no twinking from high level chars).

My reasoning of buying from AH for HC is that it reduces the chances of dying and it makes levelling up so much easier. The way I played my first HC barbarian was that I would upgrade her every 4-5 levels. Even when my first character died (at lvl 37), I was one-shotting everything and I only died from my own stupidity.

I'm also on the AH a lot to sell stuff that I can't use. If you're buying good rare pieces, you can more or less resell them for a profit/breakeven so it doesn't really cost anything.

What else would you use all the gold you pick up for? I'm only my 2nd hardcore character (now at 26) and I have about 150k gold. I can't really see any other use for the money other than hanging around in the AH.
