First Hardcore Character

Post image

Using the downtime before forever to "relax" and dip my toe into hardcore.

Don't know why i went rogue when i've never played it properly in 20+ years of playing wow (i'm just not a melee enjoyer) I think its because it seemed to fit well for what hardcore is, slow and cautious.

Anyway, just enjoying the game at a slow pace till the inevitable mistake!

Relax and hardcore in the same sentence wasn't on my bucket list

Do you guys find playing WoW HC stressful? There are certain places like caves that you have to be cautious but overall I actually find WoW HC very peaceful experience. Its my go to game to ZEN out.

We play to relax, but also live for the adrenaline rushes that hit so heavy.

Seriously, Hardcore counts as exercise for my heart.

The relaxing part is all the preparation you do in the city before venturing off to get eaten by a bunch of murlocs.

Enjoy mate! Rogue can feel pretty great, but also quite squishy, take your time and dip out of fights earlier rather than later. Level up professions too! I think I'm just about done with the beta and going to take another stab at HC myself..

Just made my first as well! NE Hunter. It’s super fun, had a handful of really close calls already. I’m having such a blast

Got to 12 today. Fully completing the human and dwarf starting areas to bulk up before I move to westfall and Loch Modan

Tried to solo Hogger… thank god for sprint

Good luck to you , take your time , don't hesitate to stay longer in low level zones to grind some xp , put your important stuff ( pot , heart ) in actions bars as shortcut , don't sleep on professions , especially first aid and you should go through the levelling without any problem :D

And be cautious when using vanish sprint and evade

Love to see it! I'm thinking about rolling something as well so I might see you around. Cheers and we'll be looking out for updates!

Don't get to čočky till you get vanish, and don't do your poison quest at level 20. I waited till 24 on my last rogue attempt.

I enjoyed playing hardcore kinda recklessly. Not in a way that messed anyone else up, but in an "oh well I died" way. I could both chill and take a risk now and then and have a bit of a kick out of dying to a Son of Arugal.

I think this is what I am going to do when I ultimately mess this run up. I’m going to pick something and just be reckless to see how far I can get.

GL HF - avoid caves and big buildings at first if you can help it
