Update. I got to hell on my Frenzy barb and died at lvl 70 on my first Chaos run to a dirty TP'er. I have gained a deep mistrust for everyone in HC. But it was a valuable lesson.

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=100683988&f=148&p=645081737#p645081737

I started again, decided to mix things up. Levelled Normal with Double Swing, went WC for NM, and currently level 83 in Hell as a throw Barb.

Got myself an Eth Lacerator and went all in. Still lacking a bit of gear and avoiding the scary shit yet, but absolutely clapping everything. Currently in Act 4.

Have had a few people help out along the way - thank you all. I've really enjoyed teaming up, and have played with a bunch of random people through various stages. Shoutout to the fallen comrades along the way;

- To the Ozzy sorc I ran through Act 2 with, and who died teleing in Act 3 Hell - sorry bro <3
- And the other sorc in Durance, and the guy who died running the hot chaos runs with Kplox - I'm sorry for your loss <3

HC is fun. Will definitely be back again at some point in future seasons <3

It's happened to every single hc player who ever played online, also, if you're a barb, always pre-buff on a safe* waypoint b4 entering tp

Secondly, a very great skill upon entering a town portal for a barb is " HOWL "

This will save you if you can cast it right away on a dirty tp, from there you can just take the tp back to town or exit

Frenzy barb with howl can clear the game + do Ubers.

Haha thanks.

Latest update. I found another Throw barb. Gave him the gores I found as I managed to get a pair of travs. We ran some chaos together and killed Baal. Went and soloed Baal after. Level 84 now.

Stage 1 complete. Now just need to tick off a clone kill, and attempt some ubers. Probably need a decent armor upgrade (still running a Lionheart as I need the res). Found some drac's too which I was going to need so that's handy.

Been a super fun run.
