I really don't know what it is that you hope that the suggestions made above are going to accomplish. Lowering the risk of hardcore defeats the purpose of playing hardcore.

That's exactly right, which I was saying this would need serious consideration in relation to balancing without just making it all easier. the idea is not to make them op and do the work for you, the idea is to be able to open up more builds and allow more possibilities in gearing and particular builds.
If this is going to make the endgame content easier in a way that can't be balanced, maybe endgame content will need to be buffed to make it equally as hard with the changes, or you know, not have them at all.
Edit: would like to add a note to say I'm yet to see the endgame content.
Re-Edit: would also like to say, if softcore can do it, hardcore can do it. we just have to be a little more careful and possibly be tankier so it takes longer.
