Thats what I am doing for some time. So nothing new for me.
I don't know man... my SOFTCORE summoner has 5,3k life and 11k armour and mostly focuses to find his pants.... the thing with this game is to know when you must skip content, you don't go certain bossrooms with vul/-max/extradamage.. you must run from some Exiles, too
d:-D*
Well you can be immune to both elemental and physical dam in this game...cheap.

Phys - Immortal call set up is just gems.

Elemental immune is just aura buffs/flask/inner force nodes on tree and getting to 23 purities and a cheap saffels. This gives 101% resistances.

Highest cost there is godfri helmet to over power a lvl 2 empower and make lvl 20 purities 23.

You can be immune to chaos free. A node.

Basically you can be immune to ALL damage in this game except ubers penetration. So cheap and maybe even self found.

Most ppl don't like the DPS hit tho so don't play that way.

I don't understand how anyone gets anything done in this game? This is a completely serious question.

I've always played hardcore, because getting anywhere on standard is near impossible unless you were lucky enough to have some legacy items; none of your items are worth anything and I have literally never found anything worth any considerable amount of currency. I've never found a 5L or 6L item, so that makes creating decent builds pretty difficult.

I find that every single character I make tramples over 99 out of 100 encounters without any difficulty whatsoever, taking little to no damage, and then you run into something that just one shots you out of nowhere.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do anymore. My latest character had maxed resists, the highest block I could possibly get, every single life/survival node within reach, and I still died instantly to some bullshit mob in Scepter of God in cruel (the lightning trap spammer). Fun nodes, like damage increases, are completely out of the picture.

What am I supposed to do if I don't have amazing build-enabling items and I can't make characters that can survive long enough to even access them?

When it comes to drops, all I ever get are Bramblejacks, Limbsplitters, and those stupid Guantlets (I have 6 of them); bullshit low level uniques that do me next to nothing besides letting me level faster after I die. Even then they're pretty terrible after 15 minutes of playing.

I really like the freedom of this game, but it's really starting to just become a chore of faith; hoping that all this pointless grinding will pay off through some kind of decent drop that never comes.




pick up every rare item and sell for alt shards, pick up the 6S items and chromatics and also do the chaos/regal recipes, just from this if you play a lot you will eventually gain enough to buy anything you want

not to mention that every once in a while something worth 1-2 exalts drops, or smth worth 10 chaos and so on

how can you be playing since closed beta and not be aware of this? and if you are then why are you whining about items???

as for dying all the time, unless you have bad FPS you are just playing bad or maybe you don't have any damage mitigation, you need evasion or high armor or cloak of defiance or just huge block with acrtic armor if you are ES i dunno, but if you're running around with 10k ES and nothing else you're gonna die non stop and there' snot much u can do about it

Yeah, let a casual try that. Sounds like high and mighty top 20% player talk to me.
i'd also recommend playing HP and not ES since life potions are insanely good, do you have seething divine flasks? one of staunching one of dousing and you're good to go

Not really I forgot about godfris like a 8C helm and drops a lot. That can bump purities to 23.

So basically you can be immune to all damage self found until you run into atziri/abyss who has big penetration.

OFC you have to use flasks and IC intelligently.

You know what the hardest part of HC is?
Desync.

For anyone with enough brain cells to actually build a toon, they're not dying because they're getting one-shotted off-screen, they're way more mobile than that. They're dying because their HP sharply dipped and they ran away, only to desync into a pack of 50 mobs chewing away at them.


Just remember, folks, we're in 1.3 and GGG is still inventing excuses so they don't have to fix desync.
If you're reading this, I'm probably on another year-long ban.
Thanks GGG.

Desync, 160 pings, and DCs are my problem with it. I have to build tanks in SC just to lvl without losing too much EXP lol.
