A Warrior Destined For Hell

[Thenryb]

This tactic might be doable in NM, but it will NEVER cut it in Hell. The difference between monster strength in the two difficulties is astronomical. Even super healing potions don't keep up with Hell monster damage output, and IIRC stun times are reduced as well. Without higher-end gear, even ranged/caster characters have a lot of trouble; melee-range characters might as well forget it if facing the same handicap.

Ashock's post was referring to the wonderful experience which awaits you on hell difficulty, not nightmare. Hell is where tough guy turns into dead guy.
