Hardcore Challenge - RiotInferno - 06-06-2012
I've decided to go to the extreme on this, and try a Hardcore-Ironman-Naked run.
Seeing everything is based on weapon damage, this definitely sounds hard, and my goal is to clear Normal.
Does anyone have any advice on class selection?

Definitely a melee class. Yep.

Completely naked huh? Yea, have fun with that. But I guess if I were to try such a ridiculous thing, I would choose a Monk.

It's either going to be super-painful, or over real quick. We'll see how this goes, I'll keep you guys updated.
After a very quick look at skill lists, I think I'm going to go for Barbarian, the stun on bash seems good.

LOL, GL with that.

Food for thought: even Beyond Naked Rogues/Warriors in D1 were allowed a regular magic weapon.

Here's my SS after a couple hours of playing:
I just killed the Blacksmith's wife, and already things are interesting.
Any unique fight turns into: stomp, hammer, hammer, hit, run away and wait for cooldown on stomp. repeat w/ hammer when fury available.
I already can tell it's going to be a hell of a grind against Leoric.
If / when I fail, I'm probably going to take MMAgCh's suggestion and go Ironman / Naked + weapon.
On the plus side, this is really fun. Hitting guys with your fists is awesome.

Well, run one is over. At level 6 I ran into a unique pack of wretched mothers. I couldn't kill things faster then they were spawning the 2 zombies. 3 DPS just doesn't go as far as used to.
If/when I try this again, I'll go naked Ironman, but will use a weapon.
