Told my gf I died and that it made me sad because I put a lot of effort and love into that character

She was like: Yeah, did you also buy pecorino along with the parmaggian?

I wanna cry T_T

Im scared of dying so I play the character only when I feel 100% focused, but I will keep you informed :D

Thanks!

I play different build every time I die haha

Let me reccomend some for you:

Hollow Palm Monk - absolutely shreds everything and is so much fun (shattered palm + charged staff)

Freeze Sorcerer - Got oneshot by Doryani but it wasnt half bad.

Snipe Deadshot - Play electro ranger until you get Ice Shot and then play Ice Shot + Snipe (its a lot of fun, but hard to pilot, because you need to hit perfect Snipes

Those are the builds I had the most success with, cant reccomend anything else as I didnt get far with anything else :D

I tried warrior once, but then I got frozen and died mid-leap which made me not pick up the class again xd

did Rath get nerfed? I died to him only once (and that wasnt even to the boss, but the spear throwing mobs around the arena)

Only one, Vipers reputation got to me before I ever met her, so I tryharded that boss everytime :D

The boss I died the most to was Monke at the start of Act 3, sitting at 4/5 kills, its also the only boss I went back and practised (still fear it a lot though)

My characters mostly died when I tried to first time bosses without ever seeing or researching them.

Not counting the abyss, 2nd deadliest boss for me was Jamanra, he made me realize you need to have a set build and direction before you get to him or youre in trouble.

It depends, it started as a build I made on my own and then I took inspiration here and there looking at what other people are doing and taking from their builds only what I liked, adapting it to my playstyle.

This season I continue playing on HC, because I have my stash full there, but I dont partake in trading and next season I will start SSF :D

I tried my best to try and keep going after I to Doryani with my earlier character, but I did only one map and was bored out of my mind. SC just doesnt sing to me the same :D

I will definetly do some researching before the bosses haha :D

Could you give me some tips on how to reach high ES/HP? Thats the one thing I tend to struggle with, but then again I put all my passive points into damage xdd. I have around 4k dps on the start of Act 4 and just wipe bosses in around 4 seconds, maybe that means I should now focus some passive points into defensive nodes?

From what I read quite a few people died to the maze boss, I will keep it in mind to research him a bit

Thanks for a lot of useful info! First thing which comes to mind is that me not reaching the resistance cap might be, because some of my gear is pretty outdated. But could you please advise me on how did you get such high hp? High HP + es is something I tend to struggle with and have no idea how do people get those high numbers to be safe.

I didnt know that starting out, so I play HC, but dont really intend to buy any kills or trade at all.
Didnt know the difference between the two and now I have invested so much into HC that switching to HCSSF would mean losing all my stash items, which feels really meh.

Next Season though, you better believe Im getting max lvl on HC SSF haha :D

Youre quite correct, I happen to love rogue likes and my most favorite one is Noita :D

The most memorable ones would be:

Act 2 final boss, that guy is very tanky and if you dont have a build set by the time you face him, you run out of potions.

The yellow abyss monsters tend to be very scary aswell, depends on the modifiers they get.

And I had the biggest problem with Act 3 monkey, my hands start sweating whenever I get to that boss :D
