i mean the only childish outburst seems to be coming from you, i have never said people should play like me. if so i would like you to find that quote. what i have been saying all the time, is that hardcore is nothing special, and you should get down from your highhorse about it(you and cheeya)
Claiming you are doing it wrong, is cuz we here in softcore we also explore, and we dont die in group climbs with backrows who stat 0 vita unless you are alchymist. that means, you dont have to go 65-70 vita for backrow toons in hardcore, i would 100% add something, but i would not go above 50 total that is for sure. if there is only one dedicated healer/caster, make someone with paladin+ go healback, it is that simple. that is what we do here in softcore, and it works. keeps everyone safe.
,
Seriously, you have nothing. you are just super butthurt, that we here in softcore actually know what we speak about, and you hardcore guys(you and cheeya) are not some sort of LS gods who is above everyone else.
Edit : I love how offensive you and cheeya have become when you both kinda realized that we had a point in terms of game play and wasted vitality stats for group climbs. you went from bursting out about the game and how superior hc is, to just pure namedropping/insulting. i love it, pure gold, top entertainment! ty :hail:

you are like a dog with a bone, you don't ever want to let go of it.
By using the word YOU, you are referring to me in your post, correct? Yes, let us move on.
In your posts, you have implied that your way is the correct way, and guess what, you implied it again in paragraph two(2) but divert by using the statement Softcore & we... you don't answer to every player on softcore, you can ONLY ever answer for YOURSELF, is this a correct statement? Yes, let us move on.
You state that in softcore people join the group without adding any vitality to their characters, that is fine and dandy, can you tell me what gear the healer is using, or the paladin is using in the group? Is it above average gear, is it better than my level 55 Wild Heal with 57% enhanced effect / +30 Strength?, is the tanker using Enhanced Effect armor around 100% enhanced effect and more compared to my level 55 chain with 0 enhanced effect / 57 intelligence / +6 Armor pierce? Are the damage items from players @ 55 + 100% enhanced effect or more compared to my level 35 Battleaxe 124% enhanced effect or my level 50 Longsword 120% enhanced effect weapons?
If so, great, then that is how it would be done on Hardcore excluding the vitality part... my character with that gear, tanks, heals and deals damage in a full group, even if my vita is minimum 100. And as you stated at the start of paragraph two(2) "Claiming you are doing it wrong" is a false statement, correct. Think about it, if I can use that gear, heal, tank and also damage, that is a good thing in a group, having a backup healer (my character) the Caster concentrates more on killing than healing, the main or second tanker doesn't worry about health, all damage characters are safer.
The difference is this, as a tanker I would choose my abilities differently.
Guardian: Salvation / Multiheal & Retribution
Samurai: Salvation / Multiheal & Multistrike
Paladin: Salvation / Multiheal & Revenge
Monk: Salvation / Multiheal & Revenge (like hell I would tank with this character

)
In a perfect gaming world, playing without any ping issues based on distance, lag issues, cars crashing into a powerline, having a seizure while gaming, interrupted by visitors or partner turning off your PC during game play, rats eating your wiring and causing a fire, earthquake and all the other things that could happen... yup, we would all be playing that way, but since it isn't a perfect world, it won't happen.
Reality check, one healer in group, you come across 9 evil presence BUT, no one but the healer is aware that he is low on mana... can not town to shrine, take too long and someone could die.... eat a mana comfrey or fish, that 1 action is good, then start healing, but, 3 of the 5 are already below 50% hitpoints, don't have multiheal high enough, or just used healback last way and still charging up... who to heal first... simple... 1 each (3 actions) and boom... you have a spike during your second action... and boom, 2 characters are dead.
There are many situations and circumstances that happen, just because Softcore can have the luxury of playing dangerously doesn't mean we have to abide by that rule... join HC, see how long you would last with little vitality, thing is, don't whistle like a junkie, play the game as you say you do... see how far you get... one thing is for certain, you will most likely regen more often than Softcore.
You say I am butt hurt, wonder where you got that from... dude, you counter argue all the time, repeating the same things over and over... that is definitely being butt hurt, change up your excuses like I do, you might actually once in a while... like I said to you in another post... I bait the hook and you keep on biting... you look good in the fish bowl going 'O' 'O' 'O' O' 'O' 'O' O' 'O' 'O'

Point made by cheeya was that quick climbs in hc are not possible
That has been proven wrong. I think we have a different perspective on the word hard. For me the biggest challenge in this game is to pay enaugh attention so I don’t miss the point when I hit MQ level
Of course quick climbs are possible on hardcore, that is if they want to risk a death / lose gear and every decent ranks made.
Playing like softcore with minimal vitality is not good at all, we neither have the decent healing charms and other gear to make it feel safe.
Damn... I tank / heal and damage in a group wearing 0 enhanced effect armor... what does that tell you... I compensate with more vitality & intelligence.
It is just as dangerous as you guys going with base vitality but using EE armor or going in the back with max damage gear.
EDIT: ONE thing I have to say about my dead characters... I got complacent because my gear was good and took risks I should never have done... I believe that complacency while playing Hardcore is the reason for death... maybe we should just play like SC so we don't become complacent again... oh wait, they are already complacent that most don't agree with how HC plays.
