Starting hardcore
Hey all,
Just came back to D2 after a substantial break (5+ years) and decided that I wanted to start with something a little more challenging than the powerleveled, bot spammed zergfest that is normal mode, so me and my friend decided to go with hardcore for hopefully more rewarding gameplay. I'm planning on going a hybrid amazon, with maxed guided arrow/lightning fury, and some in the regular helpful stuff (magic arrow, dodges, pierce line, etc). My friend has gone with an overlord necro.
I was wondering if anyone had some helpful hints or opinions on this setup for safety and viability through hell. We don't have any gear whatsoever, so we're making due with what we find. Also, what mercs would you guys advise? Currently we're thinking about using might and defiance act 2 mercs, to maximize the staying/killing power of his minions while giving us substantial physical damage, but I'm afraid we may not have enough magical damage to deal with PIs. Thoughts?
