Hello everyone !
After reading some of your adventures in hardcore solo player, it seemed a lot of fun and I decided to give it a try.
I've been playing D2 / D2R since 2002, mostly online softcore, and never really tried hardcore until now.
After a first attempt in solo player 8 with a bone lance necro (died at Durance lvl 3 nightmare, level 62...), I went for a safer build :
Paladin Fist of HeavenIntroducing Lord Business :He is here to take care of business.Classic FOH Build :- 20 pts Holy bolt
- 20 pts Fist of Heavens
- 20 pts Holy Shock
- 20 pts Conviction
- pts to Holy Shield, Vigor, Fanaticism (really helps with the merco)
- Rest to resist lighting
- No STR
- 156 Dex (to 75% block)
- 350 Vita
- No NRG
Levelling until 91 was pretty uneventful, pretty safe, I just had a really hard time managing mana when I shifted from the Holy Fire aura build to my main FOH build around level 35 - really should have waited for my insight
