Hey,

I’m about to embark on my first ever HC play through - with an eye to clear from 0-Ubers on a self found loot run. I’m also going to play through with an RL friend for some of it. He’s rolled a light sorc.

I’ve always played barb, but never played hardcore. It looks like concentrate seems to be a pretty viable build on hardcore, it’s obviously one I’ve never played but I’m keen to check out something new.

Any tips for good concentrate builds for HC? I’ll document the journey as we go once I get started.

However you build your barb definitely get max block. I thought 70% block would be fine until I got another token and sure enough got smacked in cows :cry:

I thought barbs were exclusively used for BO’s in hardcore. Seems like it would be quite a short FAFO experience if you’re really looking to grind through as self found.
