Easy mode does not work in groups!
It also let's you have only 1 ep after 71+ (with 3 regular mobs)

So it literally is easier and safer after 71+

I wasnt aware of the 1ep thing after 71+ for a looong time until cheeya said so maybe a month ago in some other thread that I cant remember
And that was the reason I wasnt soloing at all, but since I learnt that I've done only 1 solo on my alchy (but I will start doing more, once I'm done with most of my skillables that are collecting dust atm)

But I still vote; [x] Yes , Simply because I want 2 regular mobs at 71+

No

It is already really easy to solo to 81/83 even with explore
If it is too hard for you with that gear you are doing it wrong

Next time you could try using a 55 map to get at least 81 without any bad mobs like immunes or stunners and lastly you can always whistle the last 2-3 levels

You can also try to use better abilities for the solo run like double strike and salvation


At least it seems like I'm not the only one doing it wrong, because other people seem to agree that it's way too hard to have up to 3 stunners hitting you with 700+ each, and even 280ee heals don't outheal that amount of damage if you only attack every other / third turn, let alone dealing damage, and the fewest people even having such gear (up to non existence on HC).

Why are cartrack’s useless posts almost half of the replies to the thread? This is the same noob posting a 5ee/1int lvl 5 dagger to the fail thread.

1000/50000 fun yo bribe mods to perm mute cartrack.

Still voted no.

1-71 easy mode = 2 reg or 1 ep
71+ easy mode = 3 reg or 1 ep

Reg mobs are not the problem. In fact i wish 71+ spawned 2 eps max.

I might have saw the merit in this thread if it had been made during the monster diff + base monster diff event. We are currently part of an event that has no Effect on monster strength. The double difficulty event was beyond overkill but the regular difficulty is just fine. I dislike the extra levels but easy mode should be removed completely before it gets extended. If you wanna extend something extend skilling or jub.


Id like a video of you playing at 80+. I tried, I really tried, but spending time regenning every other wave, or even having to *flee* because handling 3 mobs with 11k life and tank gear really can't be the solution.

Send me a recording program on disc and I got you :) I’ll send you my 79-81 solo on warlock when I finish my climb then my 80-83 on hh if I ever pass again :rofl: all you’re going to see is the reason I have to buy your fish..

That being said my gear is well above average and casual players would DEFINITELY have trouble with the 80s.

Just use a map and there are no stunners
I just played a solo climb on a casting samurai with base life and didn’t even use a heal charm. I played him without easy mode to level 81 to finish my map. I had no trouble at all

And fish work great for solo. I always use 750 life fish and don’t really need my healcharm - just use them between the fights

can you tell me what gear you were using? not that I don't believe you, but just to confirm or reject my assumptions

59 int sword
59 int chain
225ee light
239ee heal lvl50

it is still a samurai casting so nothing really special

I just check your character and it seems like you did the usual HC mistake in putting too much vitalitiy in. Just go for max 100vita and you are way faster

Also TTim and other HH are doing/did solo climbs with almost exactly your gear on HC and they never complained about being too hard, but it also looks like HC players always want to force 100% explore when in fact it is way smarter to whistle the last 5 levels if you struggle.

oh right, it's nothing special to have gear that nobody has on HC realistically, and absolutely reasonable to compare 225(+) ee charms against someone going with 150ee or so

edit: I know similar items exist on HC, but are the people playing solo with it now or anytime soon? I think the answer is no

Game is too hard :(


I personally just think it's unreasonable that the game cannot be properly played solo anymore, it used to be a LOT easier in arena times, now you have to tank 3 mobs at once most of the time

Why would you stat full vita when soloing? You probably dont do much dmg with that, hence taking more dmg. Probably should change up your strategy all trolling aside

Ok, the subtract like 70 int from my gear and you have the level of your HH
Samurai is very bad at casting as it has 5 base int. Your HH is the strongest melee class out there.

It is really tiresome to always hear the HC people crying about the game being too hard.
