Ryan nice advice, imo.

Tack go with the vita advice. Trying not to be bad mannered here but you will never get picked up in a group unless you work on gear.

My only advice is to work on profs and stop dying.

TRY GOING TO FREAKING TOWN AND REGEN!!!!

So make a char, go attack and then reroll. Get to about lvl 5 and reroll. Just keep doing that till you get profs. You can also transfer items to another char so use that to keep anything you want to keep for future chars.

You asked so many questions its hard to answer them all. There are many guides out there and I suggest you read them. As far as market place goes it just depends on item and price you put it up for. IMO you should look for TI, TII or TIII items with +6 or better stats and put up for 1 fg. Some skillers might need them or maybe someone needs a decent shrine.

Tired of typing so I will just send you 3 fg. Caster Rogue for 1st toon is a mistake but what do i know I am just a Chip.

GL and welcome to HC!

Chip

Edit = i kept my word and sent you 3 fg but someone beat me to it. Use fg wisely and pm me if you have ?'s. I might have some low lvl gear to give you. The 3 fg was for a weap, armor and charm

This game has no ranged. There is no advantage to casting vs melee from a damages stand point. your character is only as good as your gear the class only supports your gear.

Barb, ee weapon,ee armor, stat charm, put everything into vitality, click alot and imagine half your life bar is all you have....LOL

Hardcore Vitality:
75 minimum for well equipped character builds and even with a Guardian that has good healing charms.
100 minimum for mediocre items / character builds (whether hybrid or specific)
All vita build starting out with melee character builds and self found gear.
... NOTE: you can run to like level 25 or when it becomes ridiculous to even kill a normal monster and re-roll your character... improve lower end junk items to increase killing speed there.

Basically every bit of information given in this thread is to help you succeed... you either heed their advice to benefit you and your questions, or just ignore them and learn from self experience.

Caster Rogue Hardcore... basically you need great gear to succeed in this area, you will also have to develop a specific amount of Vita stats and Energy stat points to increase your mana pool and cast dmg or heal capacity.
It would be advisable to melee from level 1 to level 25 and then alternate between the two until you have more mana... considering you will need better mana pool.

Learn about the Monster abilities to avoid encountering the multiplying monsters and others that stun you (where you can not do ANY action at all)

Shrining junk items will increase your survival and length of gameplay.

As stated by another... 50% life is the minimum you want to see it go... at this time... go to town... either shrine or regen.

Goodluck
