There's all these normal guides but there isn't a word about HC anywhere. "put more vit", doesn't explain anything about hc, if mobs are stronger no details. It's like a mystery game, only thing I know(and i'm assuming) is if you die your char is facked permenantly. Anyone have a link to guides or explanation would be nice.

Everythings the same except your char dies forever.
Put vit.
Theres your guide. Enjoy

The run button is your friend.

HC guide:

Always get 45 vit minimum, wear heavy armors when possible, avoid death at all costs

Run away at like 40-50% health is what I've heard

there was a guide in progress, but i havent heard anything about it since that day unfortunately

it would be great if some of the experienced hardcore players could collect some of their experience into a special hc guide.

basically, you should always choose the save path, meaning rather some more points into vita,
rather high def armors if you can wear them and rather run away once more when in doubt.

You assume correctly about the HC chars being "facked" as you put it.

Once he's gone, he's gone.

Although people have been responding in a tongue in cheek manner, these are probably the only answers you will get.

If you are planning on playing HC, then the only big changes will be in your game-play style.

In a word: caution.

Massive amounts of vitality will help only if you are building a tank. At a certain point, pumping vitality is a waste, as you will be sacrificing precious points, say for a melee char. My particular approach for a barb is a bit of dex, a bit of strength in the early levels, then max strength. This is my own bias.

My experience of HC comes mostly from D2 and not from LS, but the main mechanics here are the same.

Be cautious, invest in better gear, and embrace your inner coward.

Live to fight another day.

Since the basic mechanics of the game are no different from normal, I doubt that you will find a guide dedicated to HC.
