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
The class has been drawn and the playthrough has begun.
Last time to guess will be before I begin Hell (assuming I get that far).
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%) |

How to win SC NL prizes;
- Correctly guess how and when I will die.
- Correctly guess that I complete the whole SSF playthrough.
- If nobody wins either type of guess, a prize will go out to a single participant, randomly selected.
- Last time to guess will be before I begin Hell (assuming I get that far).
- You cannot guess that I die and complete the playthrough without dying at the same time. You need to guess either or.
- Your last guess counts if you made multiple guessing posts.
Prizes
The exact prize depends on the guess and how far I get. See below.---
1. Death guess
If you guess that I die, the prize for a correct guess goes up by ½ Ist for each Act;
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 3 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Nightmare = 5 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Nightmare = 5½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Hell = 6 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 2 Hell = 6½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Hell = 7 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Hell = 7½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Hell = 8 Ist (or equivalent)
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 3 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Nightmare = 5 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Nightmare = 5½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Hell = 6 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 2 Hell = 6½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Hell = 7 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Hell = 7½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Hell = 8 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:
- One of every rune in the game. (on SC NL)
- A complete Spearzon (SC NL). I will link details later.
- A complete Mosaic Assassin (SC NL). I will link details later.
- A complete Nova Sorceress (SC NL). I will link details later.
- A complete FoH/Smiter Paladin (SC NL). I will link details later.
The GRAND PRIZE only goes out if I complete the playthrough by defeating Hell Baal (and at least one person guessed that I would).

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 SOFTCORE 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
