Thunderstruck unlocks at level 22, and I used it all the way until the end. Finally, and that’s especially true with my favorite leveling rune Thunderstruck, it offers very nice AOE and synergizes excellently with your Fire Starter uses. This oft underrated skill has several things going for it: first, an amazingly low cost – just 10 Wrath per cast – which makes it by far the easiest Crusader spender to spam with zero gear required it’s ranged, which is an additional layer of safety for hardcore – my rough estimate is a 30 yard radius around you, which is only beat by Blessed Shield at twice the cost. Speaking of spenders, for leveling purposes and early Torment gearing I heavily favor Blessed Hammers. Crack will allow you to strike multiple targets at the price of a single casting animation, and (naturally) procs Fire Starter, so you can count on some nice AOE even if you run out of Wrath for your spender. Justice unlocks at level 15 and my preferred rune – Crack – opens up at level 31.

HC LEVELING SPECĪs a generator skill I recommend Justice, a safe ranged primary that I prefer to Smite’s mechanics because it demands a particular range. It’s a great time to go for a class you haven’t given a chance before, or do like I did and try your favorite class in Hardcore – as game designer John Yang aptly put it, the Hardcore Seasonal Ladder is bound to have the fiercest competition. Finally, it gives me the opportunity to try something new without the worry that I’m losing efficiency by not playing my best character.

Competition that is not only tiered by Greater Rift level, but also timed – the clock to Season’s end is ticking and every day that I’m not actively climbing the ladder I’m losing opportunities to make a mark for myself! The competition angle is something Diablo has sorely needed since release – and now that it’s finally here, I couldn’t be more excited for it!ģ. The only factor for the two or three months of season play is dedication and knowledge.Ģ. Joe Hardcore that started Diablo 3 on May 15th 2012 with billions of gold in his bank and countless hours devoted to Paragon leveling has as much of a chance to compete as does Bob Newbro who picked Reaper of Souls on a whim during Bestbuy’s latest sale. I get this question more than any other – why turn back to wonderfully geared character to farm for (99%) the same items that I already possess? To me, Seasons means three things:ġ.
