Hey! Decided to try HC (not SSF) for the first time. Have about 2k hours in poe 1 and 500 in poe 2 (300 of which was spent in Sekhemas though). I'm planning to get a feel for the pacing before next league. I've just reached act 3 and I like it so far. I'm looking for any tips from your HC experience especially about endgame.
Upd:
Huge thanks for all the replies. I found some reallt cool tips.
I prep pretty hard for every boss and in act 3 my biggest fear is that Vaal cultist, the one in the arena with the poison spear guys. In act 4 two bosses freak me out: the monkey and the blade dude on the huge arena
I noticed a few people mentioned the big monkey in act 3. And YES! I definitely underestimated him. I thought I'd dodge hia attacks easily but I got distracted looking at my build's skills and got ~700 damage to the face (lucky i had 1000 life+es).
I hope to hit maps on my first try, but I won't be sad if I die. I actually enjoy the campaign, especially on hardcore for some reason. Thanks again to everyone who helped and good luck! H(C)ope next league brings us decent changes and huge new content.
