Pretty new, but fun so far. What stuff is worth holding onto and throwing in the AH or posting here on thread?

Mage is tough as a starting claas on hc. There are helpful topics for starter builds

I don't have to play as a mage. That just seemed like solid DPS. I see legendary charms seem to be a big hit in the market so far though.

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82660445&f=272 is generally the guide we poke people towards.

For HC in particular you will probably want to get 100 vitality pretty much asap and avoid going below half health, regen in town as needed.
There's a topic with freebies if you dont want to spend fg to play, otherwise you're basically looking for:

EE Swords/clubs/axes, you will need to change one to match your level at least every 10 levels, as the damage increase per tier is significant.
Strength or EE chain/plate, again probably want to replace this every 10-15 levels
Strength charms. will probably only need 2 or 3 of these, 1x tier 3 with 13-15 strength, 1x level 20-25 with about 25-30 strength and ideally a level 40+ one with 40+ strength. level requirement is less critical here.


Would recommend barb over fighter, better starting stats.

The prices mentioned in that guide are softcore prices, generally slightly worse prices paid in HC mostly due to the size of the playerbase. More people = more bidwar. There are obviously some exceptions but generally true
