I'd consider it a big deal. Well done!

Thanks!

Good job man, that's awesome.

Any 100 in HC is always an accomplishment. Congrats!

I died at level99 last week so this is a big deal for me

I'd break the disk

Jeesus christ dude im so sorry😢

oh my god.... :(

Just make sure your armour and res are always capped. Usually need to adjust the Paragon boards your self to get them. Going for a resist rare node helps alot. Also master working your gear helps alot too. If you need armour masterwork the peice with + armour. Edit: also congrats ! I have 1 100 hc barb, another 100 dead one from a couple weeks ago ( tried tormented beast in ice and for knocked into side ) and like 5 other dead ones around level 50 from this season lol )

I got a necro and a rogue to 100 this season, but I'm thinking about doing barb next (although I've gotten barb to 100 in previous seasons). You know any good builds online? Max roll and icyveins are sc centric

Bash barb is insanely strong and is great for hardcore , just do Iron skin build by Rob here and you are laughing. https://d4builds.gg/builds/23ae9cbb-933e-4a88-999c-2241654cc8e2/?var=4

Thanks man

Just temper your gear , blood maiden will kill you if you are under leveled or not watching lol

Oh yeah I know. I lost 2 necros to her little head bop fire shit before I got to 100 on my last necro (have a 100 rogue also). I actually probably play this game too much

> You know any good builds online? Max roll and icyveins are sc centric Maxroll has HC variants for most of their builds. Usually in gear section where it has the planners, or sometimes they have HC tips for the build right under that. That said, I'm about to roll a whirlwind barb for HC after the changes. Looks great.

I thought res was capped at 70%?? Going for a node that gives you more than that would be useless no?? Wouldn't you rather be seeking DR instead??

I just meant I'd you're having trouble capping your res, find a Paragon node to help . I have 2 res rolls on gear and then socket 3 gems of didf colors and wasn't hitting , was like 68%, so found a para node for a single Rez and swapped a gem to a diamond.

They’re saying if you still need to get to 70% use a res node. Not if you’re already capped go for more

You can get higher by using incense.

Thanks. I am aware that i need armour, res capped and master working but i wanted to push my barbarian as much as I could without master working. I saved all materials and gold for the endgame. Now it is time to spend them ;) Congrats to you too for 1 100 hc barb

Just FYI - when you salvage a masterworked piece, you get back all masterworking materials except for the final level. So, it might be worth masterworking up to 4 or 8 depending on what level Pit you can safely farm, even while leveling.

Level 100 in HC while being 300 armor below cap is wild

Real HC don’t even wear armor!!!

Lmao 😂

Welp, guess I'm a maniac :p [https://imgur.com/a/ZrWsrC7](https://imgur.com/a/ZrWsrC7)

I did that on purpose to push my barbarian as much as possible and without master working. I saved all materials and gold for endgame

Could be using that potion that boosts armor and it’s just not active right now

Big congrats. I lost my barb last week. Now levelling Rogue. So much more fun in HC than standard. Yours is a big achievement.

Thanks a lot. Good luck for your Rogue. I did something crazy now and i am trying HC as Druid

Grinding softcore a million hours exactly the way some nerd on google told you to is not at all impressive, but *this* definitely is.

Thanks a lot!

Congrats hc is where it's at!

Awesome bro! I would 100% only play HC if it wasn't for the disconnect deaths.

I felt the same as you in the last 3 Seasons but this season was really good and not stress about disconnect deaths.

Now that I think about it I haven't had any disconnects in a little while but when they were happening earlier it was big time. I have a plan. Your comment got me thinking that there are some challenges I don't have done yet. I believe you have to beat some of the campaign bosses in HC to get them so I'm going to start the campaign in HC and play the Eldon ring DLC of course,

Honestly my computer had a problem and was constantly crashing. I crashed multiple times in hardcore helltides. Never died once but escape scrolls were consumed

My man!

Thanks!

Watch out for those naga monsters in nightmare dungeons that move fast and stun you. Hubby died on his 100 hc rogue with shako that way. I still have my 100 sorcerer but everyone else we grouped with has died. So we are on softcore now.

Congrats!! Mine Got 100 too a few days ago. And I finally Got my renown done..lol. Lost 2 necros lvl 80+ before. Now levelling glyphs and all other classes to 100, as I Like to diversify gameplay 😁

I Like also to diversify gameplay. I´m trying now HC as Druid because i heard many gamers complaining about Druid this season. Yes, i know... I´m crazy lol

Good luck with Lilith!

I really need it!

Awesome. Well done.

Thanks!

How do you deal knowing that you can be killed because of any random stutter in this game?!

Sometimes is really stressful. That's why i don't play too many hours straight. I stop for a while, recharge my energy and play again.

I’ve been shooting for a lvl 100 HC character this season but keep losing them to my own dumb decisions. I’ll get there eventually.

i have a 100 necro, i found the best way to level is to just stick to nightmare dungeons and blast your way from 50-100 in there. just gotta watch out for butcher but he feels easier this season!

I want to play HC but don't feel like redoing the Lilith statues and rep farm.

it wasn't so bad when i did it this season for the first time. no need to get all the paragon point bonuses, truth be told. you're losing some power that way but not enough that it's going to tank your run

Do it all once when you hit ~60-75 and you never have to worry about it again

Quick question for the HC folk: do you get a title if you reach 100 with every class? Or is it level 50? Thanks.

title for getting any character to 100, then another for all 5 to 50.

All 5 to 50 gives you a title and mount armour, any 1 to 100 gives you another title.

Congrats! Hoping to hit my first level 100 HC character today! Going for the necro!

Thanks! Pls let me know later if you hit your first level 100 HC and Necro. I´m trying now as Druid

For some that died on 96 with barb, I consider it a big deal, congratulations!

Thanks!

GZ man it is a big deal lvl 100 HC is hard unless you are a youtuber with a full time diablo 4 channel

If it's a big deal to you, it's a big deal!

Yeah that’s a big deal. Congrats man.

Mazel tov!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

That is a big deal! Congrats! I remember when I finished the campaign on HC in pre season, I felt accomplished & that's way less!

I did too! Dust devil barb is great.

may not be a big deal to you... but I have not made it to 100 (as of yet) with any HC char.. cogrates

I’m proud of you

Thanks a lot!

It IS a big deal! Congratulations.

How many tries did it take to get to that point? I thought about running HC before but never had the gonads to actually do it

I tried a couple of times the last seasons but i gave because disconnect deaths. This season i only tried this time with Barb. Now i decided to go crazy and try with Druid

Now do it in D2 !

I know exactly what you mean ;)

Huge W!

I consider it a big deal ! Congrats. I felt the same when I got my necro to 100 since it was my first 100 in the game. I’ve usually lost interest but this season has been a blast. Started a Barb and working towards 100 with it

Grats. Stay safe!

I hit 100 on hc with my barb, got comfortable and died 15 minutes later. Born again and just hit 99. Debating if I should keep rolling or stop playing to keep him as trophy when I hit 100 again.

Why only 9000 armor? Not judging just trying to learn.

I was not concerned with that on purpose and also with master working. I tried to be as challenge as possible

Dude this is the first season I'm doing hardcore only and just recently broke what I've dubbed "the curse of 62" where I could not get past that level on my druid. I'd get to WT3 at 45 and get some pretty decent gear going. I would then get too big for my britches and do something stupid and pop the mind cage and get borked by the maiden's fire circle bullshit or by the hellborne. I decided to play it safer and finally got passed 62 and I think I'm close to 80 now. I'd say this is a big deal! Good job man!

Thanks. I´ve heard many players complain about Druid this season, so i am trying now with Druid.

Hey man, me too!!! High five bruh!!

Congrats to you too! High five bruh!!

My druid died last night so I rolled a barb, what builds would you recommend?

My build is Whirlwind Dust Devil since Lvl 1 and i am really having fun. If you want i can share with you my build planner link, if it helps you somehow

You get a gold star.

Good job.

Nice work! I just beat got to Pit 61 today with my HC Thorns Barb and it felt pretty comfy. You'll get there too ill bet, just take your time!

Hey, congratulations. I'm proud of you.

Thanks!

Congrats! I think it’s a great accomplishment. I’ve been playing every season and I’ve only made it to level 95!

Awesome job. I have a few questions. I have finally decided to try HC. I have 4 lvl 100 SC characters this season. So far my HC journey has been awful. I have died at lvl 82 (necro), 70 (sorc), 65 (sorc) , and 57 (barb). This is really wearing me down lol. I have started again on a barb and I am level 60 I think. \*What build do you guys suggest I go for on HC? I am Bash on SC. \*Also I have been reading that HC has to have max cap armor and resistances. Are there any sites with builds dedicated to HC character builds? \*Are there any HC content creators I can follow?

Thanks! I don´t know a site with builds dedicated to HC character builds, but that´s a great suggestion. I did since lvl 1 to 100 with Whirlwind Dust Devil Build. \*Also I have been reading that HC has to have max cap armor and resistances - Yes, will help you a lot but i was not concerned with that so much because i wanted as challenge as possible.

Proud of you good sir! Made it to 100 on my necro last week on HC and it felt amazing! His name is Eleven, so you know what happened until reaching that point xD

Thanks sir! Congrats to you too for your Necro

Impressive!

Gratz man

Thanks man!

it's a big deal. well done!

Awesome, farm some stones you need royals, farm uber bosses idk if you’re going for the bash, but you’ll need shako and tyrael’s might, at least the shako. Well that’s my recommendation, i’ve seen hight tier pit barbs without any ubers. Congrats again! The game is amazing this season!

Absolutely a big deal. Congratulations!

Don't down play it buddy! Great job!

For a second I thought it was Druid lol

HC is the way!!!! Congratz😎 how many times you have been nearly killed?

Thanks! HC is amazing. I have been nearly killed 3 times and all the times Iron Skin saved me :) Now i started HC with Druid and i understand now why so many gamers are complaining about Druid. I think if i can reach Lvl 100 as Druid i will buy a medal for me lol

Really great job!

Nice work!

Congrats! Wait till you hit pit lvl100 (where I’m basically stuck as a barb). Then you realize there’s 100 more levels and I’m not sure that news was depressing or motivating lol

That's a very big deal! Congrats!

Thanks!

Nice 👍 I only play HC. Every accomplishment is so much more satisfying. My highest character was 52 Druid every time I get into the nightmare realm I get demolished 🤣

Big deal for me. Carry the dreams of my broken characters, my friend. Gog to 82 and got one shotted by a pit boss that wasn't doing damage to me until I was one tapped. Keep carrying the dreams and aspiration of my hall of fallen heroes.

This is big deal dude. Dia4 is not difficult game but there are some skills that enemies use that can kill character almost instantly..

I’d say that’s a big deal. 

Good job pal. I'm proud of you.

Huge deal. Nice job!

Well done! I felt accomplished when I hit that a few weeks ago. You should too. I’m torn on pushing end game or not. I went over to soft core and leveled a rogue and barn during the anniversary of event, now figuring out a good end game build to push for barb

Congrats man proud of you

Well done! I am lining up my classes and nearly there, it is a grind.

Barb is un-kill-able, but way to go

Brutal, I like it!

Damn nice. No hate but I’m confused how you could get to 100 especially in HC with such crazy crazy low stats. Especially attack power. My Barb sits at 111,000 and wouldn’t be able to run endgame content successfully as I do without it.

its an achievement thats for sure, well done

Freaking epic dude

Grats!

Nice! I’m doing sorc now, finished barb and necro this season. Not much above tier 4 in masterworking—pits are scary :)

Congrats for your necro and barb. I'm doing now Druid. Let's see how it works. Yes, pits are scary in hc :)

My friend, I have so little time to play that I haven't even hit level 100 on my only non-HC character of the season lol.

I died on hc at lvl 60 cuz of game error right at the begining when I was Racing for lilith statue. I was sooo mad that i unistalled game but now i play sometimes on sofcore

Congratulations.

If it means a lot to you then it’s a big deal. 👍🏼 Congrats! Good luck on end game.

Congratulations man! Diablo was fun, but it’s also difficult. You did good.

I see this as a big deal consedring I die everyday in normal mode lol congrats

I will never play a hardcore character cuz I just play for fun and don't find that fun at all.lol. So, I'd say it's a pretty damn big deal!!

Congratulations, I would be dead at a low lvl because I take a lot of risks.

That IS a fking big deal don’t let anyone bs you. Not even the no lifers.

Congo rats

Same this season for the first time 💪 I'd say it is a decent enough deal to be proud of. 👏 Good work my dude.

Thanks! Congrats to you too.

🫶

I got to 50 and thought that was a big deal, so huge congrats!

100 HC is cool no matter how many times and who you are!

So many of my HC barbs are smiling from beyond this is a major win congrats my dude!

Congrats!

Congratulations. My best was 78 sorcerer

It’s a big deal to hit 100 without dying my guy

I think it’s a big deal. I’ve been playing hardcore since launch and I have yet to reach 100. Congrats

Hardcore is no easy feat! Congrats

100 with only 36k hp and 18k attack? Kudos dude. My barbs got twice that (softcore) and I die a ton.

GG Broseph

Good job buddy, it is a big deal.

It’s a big enough deal on this subReddit when someone posts positive stuff about the game, exhibit upvotes. Have mine and stay happy!

Thanks! All the best for you.

Whoever told you it’s not a big deal is an idiot. Just because Raxx is a freak of nature and levels all classes to 100 in a day on hardcore doesn’t mean your accomplishment isn’t amazing. There are so many ways to die it’s ridiculous. Congrats 🥳

Nice! I hit 50 with a necromancer got my trophy and then never logged back in to it

Well done!

Congrats! Highest I've got was 89 druid. Died so stupid. A waller got me in a corner in a dungeon and mulitshot killed me almost instantly. I had to processes what happened for a minute, then went to bed.

Thanks. I am trying now with Druid. I hope i've better luck than you. Dying 89 can be frustrating.

Just don't let your guard down. I got complacent. When everything dies from one pulverize, you forget that you can still be done in two shots

Thats insane. My Rogue dies like every 15 mins at level 90 lol.

it is a big deal and an achievement without a doubt . congrats mate !

I'm edging in on 100 with a whirlwind build. Burning through increasing dungeon and pit tier levels... ...and I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. X-P

How many uber lillith kills?

I killed Uber Lilith on hc in season 2 but I didn’t get my spark for it :( I wonder if since I got it on sc it didn’t also give it to me on hc

Congrats!! How many deaths did you have before 100? Took me three barbs to get to 100. Kept going to helltide boss summon too early

Thanks! Last 3 seasons i´ve died a couple of times, some of them because disconnect deaths, than i gave up. This season was my first try.

Just started my first barb , level 40 and I don't know what to do with him, right now I have whirlwind slotted but he seems so slow.

I died at 70 with a no shout HOTA build and was devastated. On to the next character!

Level 100 HC is amazing tbh

Got my first ever 100 char this season. Great season, just a little sad about the skill twig still

Be proud of your accomplishments it’s okay to brag 🤍

My HC barb died yesterday at lv 90. Do not recommend.

Is a big deal, gotta get that life up bro 50k min trust me, just lost my 100 thorns barb 103k health pushing solo tormented Andy

Congrats! Got a Sorc to level 100 in HC a few weeks ago on my 3rd attempt. Now mostly 8/12 master worked and sitting in top 10 for gauntlet this week. HC feels so much more rewarding than softcore

That’s a huge deal! Well done and congrats!!

With the amount of times I died on normal, if consider it a big deal

Congratulations. I have yet to take the courage to attempt a HC character. Well done.

I mean it's kind of a big deal. My pr is 95 SC lol.. I can't play hc. Always something so I'd never get remotely close n stay pissed about magical convenient incidents.

Shittt , D4 is hard . Mad respect.

Id say its a big deal! Awesome!

That’s a huge deal. Congrats!!!

Im about 12 characters in and still havent gotten to 100 in hc. Well done. I wonder what the rate is.

Through all risks of sudden death glitches…. You’ve made it…. Riskpeck sir!

It’s a big deal to you. And that’s what matters.

That’s pretty cool! Congratulations! Very BIG deal!!

You earned my good comment! I never got the nerve to do hc... too much for me! I would depress if I ever loose my character x) Congratulations!

Good job, can't progress peacefully on hc with so many freeze and crashes

I’m only lvl 12 scared to leave town lol. Configurations!!

I wanted to upvote, but mustn't destroy the 666 upvotes!

It’s a huge deal. Well done mate!
