Genuine Hardcore Solo Build?

Genuine Hardcore Solo Build?

I posted this in general and got 0 response, so now trying the class boards.

I prefer playing Hardcore and really don't like playing in groups much. Between the spell effects lag and weird looting options, I much prefer playing solo.

Now I know there are tons of builds out there, many taken from streamers and people in the top of the ladder. However almost invariably, these people play in groups so any build they come up with has not been tested in solo play at the highest levels.

Also many builds out there are Default League builds. Nothing against them but the play style in Hardcore, really is totally different.

I have played summoner already and it is a slow but steady class that struggles a lot with bosses. I have not got past 50 with a summoner yet. Before I have a third bash at summoner, would like to try another build.

Looking for a Hardcore solo class by people that actually play Hardcore and solo in late Merciless and maps. I have read most of the build threads for all the classes and while I have my own ideas, it is of course all theory crafting at this stage.

Really looking for advice from people that have travelled the pure solo, Hardcore path and found some success, or even failure that of course can give insight into success.

Give my build a try http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/82518

It focuses ultimately on soloing the maps. Grouping is only an additional perk you can do :)

If I were you, I would obviously go w/ my build:

I have vids posted of soloing maps and early gameplay. My gear is average at best but can solo maps. Safety is my priority in hardcore.

Thanks for these ideas.
