I wasnt going to hound you over it, you just started It'd be nice if you showed your stats in the next s/s's though
How many gems/runes are you up to?

3. with stats screen runes suck, since countess only drops 1 per run (thanks to you, sir textbook ) no gems yet, stash is too tiny...

If anyone else has recommendations (buffs or nerfs) , please send me a pm! Thanks


/e For those of you who have already started, if you can "conform" to the rules over time (like if you already have max block) that'd be nice. I won't "force" these rules upon you right away though. I understand my rules weren't 100% balanced, so it was a work in progress and I won't penalize you for that

so ladder runewords are allowed? i would then play with p***y, still only use as much stash as normal D2 has ofc....

Good idea Textbook

*When attempting the Chaos Sanctuary, you may not stack any resistances. Take a screenshot as Diablo is dying with your stats screen open.*

What exactly does that mean, does it mean you have to remove all resistances till you have 0? becouse that just sounds like instant death vs diablos op ray for any melee chars

Yes there are no restrictions,besides the ones mentioned in this regard

It's up for debate, but the idea is you shouldnt swap out your peasant crown for a great helm with 3 orts in it.
If you have considerably more than 60 res , I'd question it probably (unless youre a paladin, in which case, it will probably happen and thats a perk of playing an auradin)

The rule is confusing and leaves too many Things as random, one thats depending on findings/shopping, one could just stack up resists from many iterms, I think you would need to elaborate
it more, becouse if its just no ort ort ort helms or like max 50 resists all in Chaos, I dont know, do let me know.

Never played hardcore before but no time like the present to give it a go I'll start a thread shortly.
