7x wellables lvl 10-25

without transmuting, and the lvl 55+ deminishing-drop i would not suggest u to go solo with average gear @(64-71)
was about 50 times under 5% health, -aways* (@lvl 67 ~10%,@68 ~20,@69 35%,@70 ~60%)

just as a heads up, a 55 plate gives roughly the same def as that chain gives, so you will be better of with a ~20 str/dex arm @ lvl 55 (can be found @ mp for 20fg roughly)
and you should never go below 50% at any time on hc

i make 55-71 with a mage with an avg of max 10min each lvl with shrineables, never use regen gear nowdays

I did 55-71 on my warlock on hardcore avg of 3min levels when I was racing Tim so it is possible

yeah, warlocks are in a diffrent league

id love to get my hands on one someday

ya , kinda hard solo with mid stuff

but u had a lot of patience ..godd job
