This guide's author (CA Raider) claims to play HC every league (or at least most of 'em).
currently trying his build in HC SSF (on my SSF acc.), smooth sailing so far (Act 4).

HC is mostly about preparation during the campaign and avoiding mega rippy map mods later and a bit of game knowledge.

I would recommend a 1h+shield jugg groundslam build, yes it is melee, but overall nothing beats a jugg if you just want defenses on 0 budget and the warcries by themselves can carry a build quite far.

I've been playing in ssfhc for the last few days and I'm almost done with the campaign without seeing my life pool move.

Make sure you have evasion as well either from a flask or run Grace, or ideally both.

As for armor you should prioritize it for the gear and put molten shell in place of your left click instead of using it on a cwdt setup, it is way more consistent this way.

It also pretty much permastuns anything you hit, even some bosses.

I would advise trying normal ssf first if you only played sc trade so far as that is a fairly good way to acquire some extra game knowledge you will need later if you want to play hc

The problem with slammers is that they basically require a third hand to play past a certain point. Between maximizing war-cry uptime, movement skills, attacking and ye olde flask piano, they are spam city.
