Diablo 3 Hardcore Difficulty

By James Vega


Now that you have played Diablo 3, you might have already finished the four acts many times with different difficulties. The first few days of gaming had made you want more because of its uncertainties. Although after reaching level 60 with godly items, Diablo 3 now turns into a chore of grinding and farming. Perhaps you aim for the top spot and the bragging rights of being number 1 or you're scared that your friend with the game will be better than you. Whatever the reason is, you just need motivation to keep playing.

You need to try and muster the courage to walk away from the typical gaming experience and step into Hardcore mode. In this difficulty there's no turning back from certain death. It must be said that even the thought of hardcore would be amazing and at the same time, frightening. These simple principles will assist you in surviving hardcore difficulty if you follow them carefully. First, before you even dare play Hardcore, you should have already completed the typical mode already. This will help establish your abilities and expertise of the game. Keep in mind, also the most veteran of the users could screw it up big time. It is essential to have "game time" already.

Once you start playing in Hardcore, you should remember that losing even a single point of health must be treated seriously. This will logically lead you to this principle; get items with high vitality value. No matter what class you are, even if you're a Barbarian. You should value your health and invest in items that give boosts to vitality. With that being said, make sure you pick defensive builds with a defensive skill set. Also make sure you familiarize yourself with your character and pick the skills that allow you to gain health or boost your defense. In summary, your build must focus in taking down enemies while stressing your survival rate.

As for your character's equipment, you must equip a shield because you will need high defense from heavy enemy attacks. This will definitely be a good choice since you'll be able to block their blows which will prove to be heaven-sent in the long run. The extra defense will surely soften the damage somehow. As for the strategy, play defensively and don't take risks. If you see a room brimming with monsters, try luring a small number of them. Always put your mindset on the safety of your character. While you think that a wounded monster will never hurt you, it's always more important to think of survival.

Additionally, if you're playing with more players in Hardcore, be nice and be supportive. Your teams survival will depend on your cooperation. Having great synergy with your team will certainly guarantee that no one will pass away unintentionally. So in summary, surviving hardcore difficulty requires you to be defensive. While hacking monsters with all out destruction is fun, passing away will certainly merely irritate you and destroy your game experience. It also needs to be stated that finishing Hardcore will really be rewarding and entitle you with bragging rights.
