hc should be like d2, easier finds
Actually it should be the opposite, if you think about it.
Nothing is ever lost in SC is ever lost. Therefore it keeps building up and up till medium moded items have no value at all. Then its impossible for new players to get any where from scratch unless they have a 1 hit wonder find. Now in HC we always loose items, virtually dailey. In the last 2 months there has been a dozen of the best charms lost and tons of gear that is virtually irreplaceable.
IMO, sc items should have durability on them. Based on the tier level of the item. Lets say you get 10 dura per "Tier Level". As you die you will loose 1 dura per death. Then the low items will poof more, but we find so many of those also.
so a Bronze item will have 30 dura, lvl 55 would have 140 dura.
For Catacombs all you need to items equal to your level and 50% enhanced effect. Most of the melee items people buy are just novelty and completely overpowering for catacombs. If you can afford it great, but if you cant afford that gear, nothing wrong with going high intel. Then you carry hm gear with you, and when needed between groups you just swap it on and then heal till the main healer levels up.
