I've honestly only played hardcore so far but really thinking about going softcore first to practice the raid maybe.

What are your opinions? Do you play softcore or hardcore and if not hardcore, why not?

I'm really debating this too. I am leaning on the softcore side because I really am unsure of Spiritborn survivability.
I'm also wondering if Softcore might be a waste of time in the long run, but most the folks I play with play Softcore for the first month and then I swapped to HC last season.

I just don't wanna be stuck in T3 in SC only to find out I gotta grind so much materials again and start from scratch... like I could basically
make a char for T3 grinding and just make a seperat raid twink.

So just start in hardcore, grind stuff and never raid with my first char lol since paragon is shared anyways it's easy to twink a same class up to 60 and give him gear that I grind with my main.

The paragon thing is a good point. Kind of a new advantage to HC since even if you die you keep all those levels.

Yeah.
You can basically make a "mf char" and just grind the gear for T2/T3 viability depending on what you want and play safe and just load all the good stuff on your chest and mule it to your new main.

I don't know why I didn't come up with this before but now I have a plan. Going hardcore and doing that lol.
