Lurkers, I call on you to aid a Hardcore noobie. I'd love any tips that you have come to learn in your experiences.
I've already learned a ton playing with my first few Hardcore characters. At first I was playing too defensive and it actually made some fights more dangerous. Seems you really have to balance out your offense and defense abilities so they don't not hinder eachother. A few technical things I've found is having the "move" key bound to my side mouse buttons, and I've always used spacebar as my potion so that helps even more now.
Other things I'd have to be a lot more mindful of is the enrage timer and those Act 3 fanatics. If I was playing a spellcaster in a group it seems I'd really need to be mindful of spamming my spells, or if I had pets as a WD.
Another factor I have to consider is when to take on act bosses. In softcore it's always easy with trial and error, but this time around I get no error. Of course the obvious one is to adjust your build, but do most of you look up how much damage they do compared to your Effective Hitpoints?
Thanks in advance. It's really a whole new game after playing softcore in all my action rpgs!
