Nasty little pack there -- but not (by far) the worst I've run into in the Tower; Champion Ghosts or Archers with Might or Fanaticism, particularly as stair traps on the odd-numbered levels, are even worse.

BTW -- Running anywhere in HC Nightmare or Hell without a belt of nice big, fat purple potions (especially as a melee fighter and even more especially if you're a Berserker and can't leech) == verrrry bad idea! Every one of my HC characters, even the ones just starting out, have a purple-colored belt; helps immensely in getting past act bosses, too.

Condolences on your loss there. It's still an accomplishment to get to Hell in the first place, which I have yet to do this ladder season... wish me luck.

Cheers

I have to agree with this. My characters generally have 1 row blue, 3 rows purple. A healing potion will not always be enough to heal you quick enough. You need the insta heal of a rejuv more often then not.

My Zerker's though, tend to be 1 blue/1 red/2 purple. Since they have no way of leeching, and sometimes the Insight/Prayer Merc heal is a bit to slow.

Just less than a week later and my Singer rebuild hit 50 this morning whilst glitching NM Meph.

Character level: 54

Character build: Singer/Frenzier
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 4 (Izzy)
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise: Impatience and utter stupidity. Been a grind leveling up my two first S5 characters, and finally got to the point where I'm just about to do NM Forge. Had gotten the City waypoint but did not see Izzy on my way (wasn't doing a total clearing because again, I was in a hurry to get to NM forge). So I decided to double back and hit Izzy before I went ahead onto River. Got overwhelmed by a bunch of nasty Gloams and died a very quick death. Thanks to TheDarkSide for helping me loot. Been quite a while since I had a death I probably needed a reminder. I was playing WAY too recklessly.

Ouch, sorry to hear that :( At least you got looted..

Thank you - I will surely miss him alot.

Decided not to rebuild him yet. I am making a Windy as a replacement.
Just erasing him didn't seem right, so he is still among us in his dark robes.

:cry:

Oh I am so sorry to hear that harry. The countess can spawn some pretty nasty packs. Hopefully you have some stuff muled to get another char started. And if not - give me a whisper, and we'll work something out (*TJ_Hardcore).

RIP JonesMcBones

Thanks. I managed to pack some bits and pieces away though, so no worries.

Next time I'll be leaving the rune hunting to the professionals though.

Act: 2 - Canyon Of The Magi
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise:

My first real HC character. Was clearing through act 2 with a couple of gauss members, was a bit worried that my resists were too low but otherwise our small group was very capable. Just killed summoner, running to Tal Rasha's Tomb, I stop for a second to increase the volume in options menu... BAM slain by a Hellcat javalin thrown from off screen in a single hit. It all happened so fast that I hit enter to exit options... and ended up exiting the game instead. Thanks to the guys who were playing with me, was fun and hope you managed to kill duriel without any hiccups.

But alas - there is no going back to softcore. Hardcore is the real deal. Softcore feels like cheating when you have tried Hardcore seriously.
