Real builds should meet the following:

1. Max Resis
2. Min 75 FCR
3. No need for potion usage
4. Min 1.5k Life w/o B/O
5. Some amount of FHR
6. Doable by level 85-90
7. Not showcased by GG godly items made in hero editor

All these builds using hero editor impossible to obtain items, having negative resis in hell are just dumb asf.

needing stacked res to survive is a skill issue

wrong

ok my mistake

I prefer to run low res on warlock so I have room for full juvs and to pick up stuff during MF.

The only thing that sucks is low poison res. I think it’s worth buffing that up.

This perspective is why we need a HC forum. What happened to it? We need that back.

Stacked res + absorb is a must.

Skill issue in SC? Definitely. In HC it’s just being smart.

or you could just specify in your post if you're one of the 3 people playing hc

and no, dying without stack and abs in hc is a major skill issue

Come on man. No need to be demeaning. The HC server is poppin. We just don’t have a HcNl.

If you played you’d know. You’d also know that the one insta-kill mob you meet is all it takes. Conv LE/extra strong/extra fast souls for instance. You might even have 2 of them next to each other; don’t get me started on adding extra fast stone skin dolls to the mix, or fanat extra strong archers.

it's hyperbole

played a lot of hc and only time I ripped was on a budget melee sorc lvl 90. it's a skill issue

That guy is talking out his rear end. Even the best players can have a bad teleport eventually or a lag spike and end up in the wrong place.
