On holidays at University and waiting for ladder thought id do a hardcore p8 walk through and the unfortunate victim/grind is going to be with a Throw barb, will try update as much as i can. This is just regular SP not PTR.

Rules

- Hardcore
- /p8 for main play and progression (can be adjusted for countess/boss re runs)
- No MH/Plugy

Goal

- Hopefully kill hell Baal
- Get some cool crafts/finds
- Not die

Feel free to comment some advice and critique! Photos etc might be a little weird until i figur eout the best way to post them!

Here is Chad and so it begins! Will try to only post act updates and a few screen shots from each act with any significant/fun finds!

Here is just a little beginning, so far so smooth! Forgot to take a photo of lvl 1 so here is his current level

haha lets be honest, im dying at normal diablo!



Ill give it some thought! Having the new runewords could be nice for later! Although, wouldn't my person get deleted after ptr or each time they patch?

Everything is pretty cruisy atm, double throw does decent amount but is pretty mana hungry, just got to countess and had a decent map roll so will run this for some runes for stealth etc!

ive decided to run with PTR, the pierce would be really nice, the little buff to the skills and id like to see how the changes would be for a walk through!

Countess was cruisy, First run got a Tal, looks like i wont be here for long!



Nicee! First rare throwing axe! What is going to be my first unique/set? Whoever guess's ill give 50 fg or 100 for both!

Gotta love this series! Tracked The first u find will be Cathans Ring- however if I am right, please give the FGs to the guy who has the least FGs and placed a bet

Gl!

Thanks ill keep a note!



Act 1 complete!

Recap-

1. Throw on PTR is actually decent, the pierce is actually pretty game changing for low levels, killing mobs is MUCH easier! Now that the throw mastery has reduced %dmg and %ar and Double throw itself has more dmg%/ar% per level im kind of torn on what to level, having higher pierce is super useful but i dont want to sacrifice the %dmg lost so far ive decided to get 10 hardpoints into the mastery to get 40 pierce rate and now ill max double throw.
2. I thought maybe that giving my a1 fire arrow merc a bow with fire dmg would hopefully increase her fire arrow dmg like it does on zons but unfortunately it does not, not sure if this is a bug or intended, feel it would be pretty OP having a 3 soc hunterbow filled with Rals!
3. No real scares as of yet p8 has been cruisy, having to constantly repair my weapons which is annoying, hopefully i can get some replenish ones soon enough!
