Honestly, never played hardcore. But thinking about it now with all new chalenging content and items to test myself.
Do you think it worth it? What mode are you playing (standart/hardocre) and why?
I have both Hardcore and Standard toons. My standard toons get a heck of a lot more play than my hardcore ones because hardcore is stressful and I tend to play to unwind after work.
Also, it royally sucks losing a toon to a one-shot mechanic or bad luck. I will say that the adrenaline rush in hardcore is second-to-none though.
Play both and see which one you gravitate towards over time is my opinion.
I don’t play HC personally but I watch a lot of streamers that do and the piece of advice I see given out most often is to play multiple builds at a time. This way, when you do lose one, it doesn’t hurt as much.
I don’t like to play hardcore because you have to be safe all the time, but i need it to complete steam achievement so 
I personally like to play yolo (like rushing headfirst into a big mob or boss without care) and not care about my health all the time, but I still usually have 0 deaths and might even stop playing the toon once he died, but I would still not lose all my hard work.
I can understand the excitement coming from HC though and the feeling of achievement if you survive until max level.
One big point is them having separate stashes and blueprints though so playing both is not advised.
Can someone tell me which class is the best for play in hardcore mode. I played like 150 hours as spellbreaker and I want to something different.
Thanks btw.
I’ve only got hardcore chars, just find it more fun, killing a nemesis/surviving a hard part feels a lot more rewarding.
Played HC in D2, sacred, poe, median xl, just the way I enjoy arpg’s I guess.
Now that you can store crafting materials even better 
Silly optional mode. You WILL die. Wave bye bye to hours of work. Nooooo thanks.
With the right char and good preparation…I really recommend playing hardcore.
If you want to play it safe, i recommend a reflect-retalliation warder. You need about 200% reflect damage from items, devotion
an components and round about 700%-1000% retalliation damage modifier. If you dont have any good legendaries, it is still possible
with good green items.
Except from retalliation, you need a second damage source for ranged enemies. I use reflect and storm-totem. You can kill any regular monster
in the game with it. The new super-bosses are very very risky, right now, I dont dare it…
If you play HC you can reach level 100 with this char and finish all the normal quests and bosses without dying. I use my warder now for fabius and treasure trove runs. It is impossible to die. I also did the first daria-quest with the bourbon clones, here I had two close calls.
Right now I am very carefull with the new superbosses and the some of the new nemesis-monster… first of all I have to pimp this char further
HC is fun, if you play it safe. And you have to know, where the heavy hitters are.
kind regards
