this comment, was outright stupid.. instead of spend your time on forums you should slash some more, i count 20mq´s, and hc season has been on for years!

basic truth, nothing stupid about it, but, everyone has their own opinion.

My friend this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I would heavily suggest the game implement a feature to not make you play the game this way. Let you use your solo abilities as you wish, and respec later if you come across a group.
Actually found solo'ing to 55 on Hardcore without picking any ability was very useful when someone invited me in group around that level up... if they had a healer already in group, I could just go pure damage, if they needed a full time healer, I would go pure healer, if they needed a backup healer, then I was ready for that... as pointless as it seems to some, it is actually useful, and this game does NOT require you to get to 55 using abilities. NOTE: I no longer possess those good MQ items anymore... now back at it with mediocre (decent) gear.
Difference with D2 and Ladder, if you misclicked on D2, you had to delete and remake, all you do on LS, whistle to MQ and restart... why cry over something that doesn't require deleting your character?

I had to reread that comment several times to realize they were serious... why solo to 55 then join a group? Start from lvl 1 play the class needed from the start as a part of the group. If they pick you up high level to fill a spot they should be happy they have another player regardless of the skills. I mean seriously... leveling to 55 without skills would be so much more tedious and in the end you are probably more likely to get a good drop for yourself by finishing the climb solo explore than joining a group where it’s a 1 in 5 chance (still not sold it really is random) if getting an item if you get lucky enough to see one drop worth grabbing.
Exactly my point about this suggestion, I think you need to re-read it... As for solo'ing 55 to 71 (using abilities of course)... I would do that if I didn't get into a group.
Also, after running tests lately (posted in Builds etc)... it takes on average of 1 hour to gain 5 levels from level 55 to 70 exploring cata and no regens involved (Salvation only ability)
Longsword damage is so damn wild as is my wild heal...

... Going to be different with Samurai... may have to regen since low Int.
