  2. but that's all part of hardcore hardcore but that's all part of hardcore hardcore is something new for me is something new for me is something new for me i am not much of a hardcore player i i am not much of a hardcore player i i am not much of a hardcore player i always played soft core always played soft core always played soft core and that's why i wanted to do a hardcore and that's why i wanted to do a hardcore and that's why i wanted to do a hardcore playthrough this time playthrough this time playthrough this time see how far i get see how far i get see how far i get and learn from my mistakes and a couple of rares and a couple of rares okay stashing away quite a bunch of potions stashing away quite a bunch of potions gems at this point which is nice nice to gems at this point which is nice nice to gems at this point which is nice nice to have a bit of stock have a bit of stock have a bit of stock like at this point i have enough gold like at this point i have enough gold like at this point i have enough gold that i probably don't need to be that i probably don't need to be that i probably don't need to be stashing potions anymore but i'm still definitely harvesting gold but i'm still definitely harvesting gold that's necessary

  3. you threw away your gloves and then you threw away your gloves and then someone gave them back to you oh that's someone gave them back to you oh that's someone gave them back to you oh that's nice nice nice that does not usually happen in diablo that does not usually happen in diablo that does not usually happen in diablo too too too it's quite the opposite everybody is it's quite the opposite everybody is it's quite the opposite everybody is just grabbing free for all yeah i'm uh planning on the tall f yeah i'm uh planning on the tall f stealth room word stealth room word stealth room word oh that's a pretty nice armor for me now oh that's a pretty nice armor for me now oh that's a pretty nice armor for me now some resistances and some fire some resistances and some fire some resistances and some fire now i'll wear that for now i'm planning now i'll wear that for now i'm planning now i'll wear that for now i'm planning on making the stealth room work tall f on making the stealth room work tall f on making the stealth room work tall f for the faster cast rate and faster run for the faster cast rate and faster run for the faster cast rate and faster run walk walk walk and and and like i'll it will be until level 30 that like i'll it will be until level 30 that like i'll it will be until level 30 that i can i can i can at level 30 i can start using a bar cry at level 30 i can start using a bar cry at level 30 i can start using a bar cry so so so up until that point i will be doing up until that point i will be doing up until that point i will be doing melee melee melee but still an anterior but still an anterior but still an anterior strength rune word is going to be handy strength rune word is going to be handy strength rune word is going to be handy so for bosses because of the crushing so for bosses because of the crushing so for bosses because of the crushing blow blow blow so so so i think amtier is my first one i think amtier is my first one i think amtier is my first one i think that's the strength room word i think that's the strength room word i think that's the strength room word emptier emptier emptier the one that gives crushing blow the one that gives crushing blow the one that gives crushing blow that will be my first that will be my first that will be my first sort of sort of sort of priority but i have but i have leveled to level 15 now so i think it's leveled to level 15 now so i think it's leveled to level 15 now so i think it's about time to about time to about time to keep going through act one you can't keep going through act one you can't keep going through act one you can't keep farming the countess indefinitely

  4. so so let's make our way to and ariel so i'm at this point i'm just going to so i'm at this point i'm just going to kill the champion monsters bunch of archers here bunch of archers here now we're getting more of the ranged now we're getting more of the ranged now we're getting more of the ranged attackers

  28. i love the hull skill i can just scatter i love the hull skill i can just scatter all the enemies all the enemies all the enemies when i'm getting stuck it's really when i'm getting stuck it's really when i'm getting stuck it's really amazing amazing amazing like the barbarian has so many good like the barbarian has so many good like the barbarian has so many good crowd control skills it's just like now i can just howl so the like now i can just howl so the skeletons leave me alone and i take out skeletons leave me alone and i take out skeletons leave me alone and i take out all the big all the big all the big ones that are re-summoning them and i'm being left alone while i do that and i'm being left alone while i do that it's just really good all right so there's the cube all right so there's the cube that means i can start picking up more that means i can start picking up more that means i can start picking up more items in my event inventory which is items in my event inventory which is items in my event inventory which is great okay okay now let's just run back to the entrance and keep and keep looking for the far oasis oh i don't have many

  29. oh i don't have many stamina pots i was wrong i was wrong very wrong because now i'm stuck with a very wrong because now i'm stuck with a very wrong because now i'm stuck with a bunch of monsters behind me like situations like that can cost you like situations like that can cost you your life in hardcore if you're not your life in hardcore if you're not your life in hardcore if you're not careful okay so i'm running out of stamina so okay so i'm running out of stamina so it's might as well
