New game experiment

[LordManhammer]

I take it that was by yourself right LordmanHammer? What build did you use and did you give yourself any items while doing that (i.e. this was pretty much completely fresh right)?

Also from what I hear, the trudge through the difficulties will take the longest. That doesn't surprise me. I just haven't done any of the trudging in a very long time. On another note, it would be recommended to slug out as fast as possible through each difficulty but then farm a bit of cows on each difficulty in preparation of the next? That sounds like the impression you're making.

That was my first run through in Hardcore on this server using a shield throw Barb. I also wanted to know how long it would take and figured HC would be the purest way to do it with no temptation to use gear from another toon I should clarify that this was my first HC character of ANY kind on this server.

Alright. Thanks for the input. I have a lot less worries now.
