Greetings, fellow diablo2.io members!
Since my last hardcore journey ended in defeat (forums/a-hardcore-journey-t1481515.html), I've been contemplating starting another one. And here I am, about to start another one. The general idea is the same as last time - I'm going to attempt a HARDCORE SSF (solo self-found) playthrough, with the ultimate goal of defeating Hell Baal. I don't intend to try to kill Dclone or do Uber Tristram, just complete the game. I have no idea how long this is going to take, or rather... how far I'll get before I die. Because I'm pretty sure I'll die before I reach my goal.
Last time, I tried a Sorceress.
This time, I drew a class randomly.

Class
Random pick:Necromancer
Class selection
A while ago, I asked you to vote on what class to play (or whether to play at all), and the outcome was - random class. I will, however, Honor all the class-specific votes in that the chance of rolling each individual class will be based on how many votes each class got. So, without further ado, here are the odds for all the classes;
The class will be drawn at
The playthrough will begin at
I will begin Hell
The class has been drawn and the playthrough has begun.
Last time to guess my fate was before I began Hell.
Class | Votes | Odds |
---|---|---|
Amazon | 3 | 3/19 (15.8%) |
Assassin | 2 | 2/19 (10.5%) |
Barbarian | 3 | 3/19 (15.8%) |
Druid | 5 | 5/19 (26.3%) |
Necromancer | 3 | 3/19 (15.8%) |
Paladin | 2 | 2/19 (10.5%) |
Sorceress | 1 | 1/19 (5.3%) |

Prize per Act & Difficulty where I die
Act 1 Normal = 1 Ist
Act 2 Normal = 1½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Normal = 2 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Normal = 2½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Normal = 3 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 2 Nightmare = 4 Ist (or equivalent)

Act 2 Hell = 6½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Hell = 7 Ist (or equivalent)

These are the parameters you need to guess:
- Enemy type
- Act
- Area
- Difficulty
You can guess on more than two of the parameters but still win a prize for being partially correct.
- If you get two of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize based on how far I got.
- If you get three of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x2.
- If you get all four of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x4.
- If there are multiple winners, you split the winnings.
2. Completed playthrough guess (no Death)
One random winner (who guessed correctly that I would complete the whole playthrough) gets a GRAND PRIZE.
The GRAND PRIZE is a choice between the following:
- [SC NL] One of every rune in the game.
- [SC NL] A fully geared Lightning Strike Amazon (spearzon).
- [SC NL] A fully geared Mosaic Assassin.
- [SC NL] A fully geared Traps Assassin (trapsin).
- [SC NL] A fully geared Nova Sorceress.
- [SC NL] A fully geared FoH/Smite Paladin (can also be made into a Hammerdin, or Tribrid).
- [HC NL] A Cold Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
- [HC NL] A Nova Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
- ONE winner gets to pick ONE prize of the above.
- ONE runner-up gets an Enigma (on either SC NL or HC NL, your choice).
* only on PC and on SC NL, I don't have a rusher on HC NL
Whatever isn't picked will be passed on to a future giveaway event.

3. Participation prize
In case nobody guesses my fate correctly, one random winner (among all participants) wins the same prize as per a correct Death guess (with x1 factor).
---
NOTE: Any prizes will be handed out on NON-LADDER.

You may of course just guess for fun without participating (i.e., you won't win any prizes), just let me know if that's the case
Have fun! xD
