Sorry to necro the thread, but would the turtle be an option for hardcore, at least during leveling, now that it got a buff since this was first published?
Yes, Turtle would be a great choice for this build, especially in light of its buff.
Thanks! Iām playing my second serious attempt at a veteran hardcore run, and if this fails, I have to play a pet build of shame. I plan on probably doing turtle, eel and jackal early on, then respec later as better gear and more skill points come in.
