I just have a quick question...with the ladder reset, if that ever happens, I was looking foward to possibly building a Novamancer in HC. I'm just curious as to how stable/safe these characters are in HC. I made one this season like as soon as i started back up and it was pretty safe from what I saw and the damage was decent and that was before I even had Nova...then again, i'm no pro at this kindda thing.

I just want some advice/feedback on this area of your guys' expertise. Thanks.

Novamancer, In my personal opinion, will not be able to do well untwinked unless you party up with other people ALOT.

Should ladder really reset, go necro (summon army) or trapper to gather up some sorc stuff, then build ur 1st sorc and start getting rich. Tats my plan should ladder really reset :cloud9:

Richness does not equate to happiness!

Assuming you're a softcore guy, well, to find out if your build/character is decent for HC - play softcore, and if you die out of anything that isn't a forced/tppk death? Then you'll probably need to change your playstyle, because it's sort of really tough to find a build that won't SURVIVE HC... but there are a pretty staple cookie-cutter lot that really EXCEL, which I think is the benchmark for most "I WANT TEH BEST BUILDZOR ITAMZ TOO PZL" posts (not that this is one of them).

Research the build in which uses Skeletons and all the masteries/curses that are associated with it. I'v heard many great things about it such as being able to solo HC without any gear.

Awsome, thanks for all the advice. I'll be looking into that IF the ladder resets. I'm not interested in HC till that happens, all the TPPK b/s won't be as strong when everyone is weak lol.

Don't scare him away from Hardcore coax him in.

Unless it's reverse psychology so subtle that even the intarweb masks it.
