I understand now why Blizzard said it would take months to beat Inferno.

Honestly this is the main reason why I play hardcore mode. The items are much more rare and they feel more special when you get them because you could die any time and have to go back to farming normal difficulty items. That and hardcore gets my heart racing like nothing else when I am close to death.

Yeah.. I spent 18 hours getting my last barb to level 40 then died in the timed dungeon in act 2 nightmare right before bed Sunday night. I was in a pretty shitty mood at work yesterday. My whole party thought you died if you didnt get out before the timer ended and all 4 of us died trying to run through to the end lol.

Constantly playing chicken with death sounds very scary for me as a hardcore barb lol.

If your character is hardcore you lose everything forever. But you keep your gold and items that are in your stash. As for softcore, your items lose durability when you die but you don't lose any items forever.

You already can do this. I search by Vit + Str all the time.

I have a quick question about ignore pain. The tooltip says it ignores "most" damage. So what actually does damage you while you are using ignore pain? Also, thank you very much for this write up. I am a level 35 hardcore barb about to start nightmare tonight so its great to read about what I should be doing to survive before its too late.

Vlads is for pushing power for your spiderlings, not for your hero herself

Yeah I switched to hardcore as soon as I hit level 10 just because I wanted to start collecting items and gold and if I got too far into softcore I know I wouldn't want to switch. That and I was a D2 hardcore fanatic.

I prefer vlads as a much more late game item because the way I see it, the more damage you do the better lifesteal is. The reason AM gets vlads sometimes is because his mana break is a unique attack modifier, so lifesteal on Mask of Madness or HoTDM doesn't work because unique attack modifiers don't stack. Vlads has a lifesteal aura so it still works with unique attack modifiers.

I would argue that she should still grab a soul ring first but yeah vlads after soul ring is quite good.

I've already lost a level 27 hardcore demon hunter, a 24 demon hunter, and lost a level 40 hardcore barbarian right before bed last night -_- God damn lag and timed dungeon in act 2 nightmare

An annoying this for me is that you can't even see what items aren't fully repaired when you are in the auction house. And as far as I know you can't repair items in your stash so you have to go and manually pull them into your inventory, repair them, and stick them back in your stash.

Yes I just lost my god damn lvl 30 demon hunter to this shit

Never dieing sounds good for hardcore mode.. I think my next character will be a monk. Especially since I already collect +dex items for my Demon Hunter. I'm kind of nervous about progressing through hardcore with my glass cannon Demon Hunter (lvl 27 now)
