Your Average Diablo Player Does Hardcore POE 2 | Episode 3

[@SaucerCats]

I love that you are going straight into hardcore mode. I hope you continue with this series because it is fantastic to watch someone who is learning about the game as they go, but with very high stakes. Entertaining!

[@ramazantekin4144]

man, i love it when someone has an imaginative approach. never would i ever consider using the unearth spell for adds for a warrior. nice thinking.

[@kaly8329]

Theres actually a unique two hand hammer that gives any minion stat(dmg or something) and adds it to your char. So a minion warrior class may be legit.

[@ramazantekin4144]

@kaly8329 add in some cold spells and we have a death knight class.

[@Buckshot81]

Love watching you learn under these circumstances. Will keep an eye out and have subbed!

[@deucehammer]

Thanks! Happy to read that.

[@anubis483]

Literally everyone here died a ton like you. And probably made the same mistakes. Thats the beauty of a new game. We all start at the same place. Since I am only playing HC. I literally lost 20 chars before act 3 at this point. But I feel like i learn something every time. The game is super hard though. The people that play 12 hours a day on stream even decided to go softcore because of how hard the game was.

[@Pok-qq9lt]

i root for you !! its realy cool that you have played the warrior. sometimes i was stunned how less life you have lost :O that armour was realy thick. the way you play, no guides and so one is the best way to expirience the game :) keep it :)

[@deucehammer]

Thanks, you too!

[@T0mT4yl0r]

That's peek PoE2 content. So much more raw and real then these popular streamer trashs that deliver zero fun gameplay.

[@deucehammer]

Much appreciated!

[@T0mT4yl0r]

@@deucehammer Welcome. PoE1 5K+ hours in, fully clearing endgame with my Monk in PoE2. You will learn in HC a lot, but the pain of using armor only will hit a wall later which will kill your hardcore champ. I would recommend to enjoy SC and trading and just suck the game in for own experience without guides but looking up specific information maybe for details.

[@SaltedBanana]

i will follow your journey in hardcore mode brudah subscribed!

[@cyruslupercal9493]

The guillotine... Drops!

[@RobertSela]

Welcome to the true game. You have quite the journey ahead of you, of joy, frustration but great reward. And an alive and fair trade where items of all levels have value.

[@deucehammer]

Thx! Btw, you will see soon that I switched over to HCSSF. 😅

[@phinguyen6399]

Hardcore gives different vibes :v like, good vibes. The thrill of getting out of the mobs surrounding you and destroying bosses.. man feel so good

[@TeleologicalConsistency]

Going from D4 to Poe 2 hardcore is like going from kindergarten to a post-doctoral dissertation.

[@Wago22]

Still getting after it ! Reading is fundamental 🤣

[@leamael00]

I don't know if you've been told that one already, but you can ctrl + click zone to open new instances and farm them. A good thing to do in hardcore is overleveling zones (at least before risky stuff)

[@deucehammer]

Dude! Awesome tip. 💪

[@frasercain]

Yep, overleveling and farming is the key to hardcore.

[@mray417]

This is the way

[@shfreeman4428]

This guy looks like the Ryan Reynolds in his 70. And he's playing POE and is very intellectual. What am i doing with my life

[@deucehammer]

70s??? Oh come on! 😂

[@callnitid]

Pain will make you stronger brother

[@lancepowell1965]

Hardcore parkour, we go again ^^

[@iwantsaveu]

From my perspective, Path of Exile 2 isn’t designed to be played in Hardcore mode. Most players will likely have a bad experience unless they are exceptionally skilled at the game.

[@SilverTheHound]

When you see this message press Z so items are always visible

[@protocoltonic5352]

definitely cant wait for full release, once they've polished the game the way they want it and it feels good to the player. it's gonna be sweet. also... is a deuce hammer the same or better than a shite stick?

[@deucehammer]

Way better 🤣

[@TheOdMan]

If you're still going with this I would love to try and catch a stream, do you only stream on Twitch or dual stream to KZbin as well?

[@deucehammer]

Awesome! Only on twitch. Schedule is up in the air this week. Normally on Tuesday, Weds, and Thursday evenings, ~7 to ~10pm PST

[@TheOdMan]

@@deucehammer Alright, I'll keep an eye out!

[@Kon-I-Lie]

you can hold Ctrl and click the item you want to sell instead of dragging it to the vendor

[@deucehammer]

Yeah, took me like 20 hrs of gameplay to figure that one out. 😅

[@jakkrit6910]

in poe you practically drink their soul because flask collect enemie soul to fill it self up.

[@umutttttttttt]

Diablo gods are proud of you brother. Any livestream plan?

[@deucehammer]

Thx! Yeah I typically stream US evenings, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I also stream Dark and Darker. twitch.tv/deucehammer

[@MrMlegs]

Making me want to play hardcore Coming from d2 hc The struggle is real

[@deucehammer]

Hell yeah. Do it 🤜

[@Dahaqaa]

RIP man Guillotine gets as all XD

[@sPARTANeMPEROR]

Honestly it was a good run 👍

[@TheAzure4]

OOft dude. Lemme tell you, I would be playing this through on normal first. It's all very good in act one normal where armour does something and you can get gear relatively easily but act 3 and specifically cruel are full of some bullshit. Even poe vets are having trouble with this game in hardcore atm. very cool challenge though

[@deucehammer]

I'm ready for the pain, bring it on! (that was the AI generated response and I found it funny)

[@Adol666]

i like your Sith Lord Mentality

[@Arrow21019]

I just died with my lv36 ranger and I'm also a complete noob to this. The youtube algo just knows what to show me when I'm sad :p

[@deucehammer]

haha! Damn YT...kicking us when we are down.

[@lifestootube]

cest la vie

[@jonathanhawken]

stay sane exile. Welcome :)

[@gerhardadler3418]

Totem build for warrior is pretty much a one skill build.

[@JocofAllTrades]

No wonder you died vs count, The sick sound track wasn’t playing

[@deucehammer]

Haha! This made me laugh. I got some feedback that music during boss fights is distracting. I feel some may disagree! :D

[@sobreaver]

Mindless and conscious, that I get. But the patience to drain my lifetime in the game, have I do not. But it's a great game nonetheless. Perhaps hardcore should be standard mode :P

[@deucehammer]

Haha! Yeah hardcore all the way

[@Lemonspeppasteppa]

I just started playing D4 when POE2 came out. I have 100hrs in D4 vs 60 in POE2. I think the gameplay story of POE 2 is better... but the crafting, character building is so confusing!!! The game doesn't explain all of the systems very well. I definitely prefer the build/crafting of D4, but the gameplay of POE2. Hopefully, they will tweak it.

[@deucehammer]

Yeah I feel you. They will tweak it a bunch. Its still Early Access

[@anubis483]

The music you add to bossfights kind of disjoints me from the game. The in game music is absolutely awesome and I would prefer that. Otherwise great video. Thanks.

[@deucehammer]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@TheOdMan]

2:22 Read more good!

[@skraaaaz]

in act 2 it sends you in 4 different directions and you will probably fail at all 4. at around lvl 30 it gets easier just keep murdering them monsters.😆

[@deucehammer]

Spoiler alert: I am in act 2 and see watch you mean...video coming soon! Thanks for watching.

[@supremebuffalo6322]

HC is such a bad idea lol

[@PedrovoriskAB]

nice video but its clear u dont know how to play ARPG .. =P keep it up

[@wnuktomas5642]

doing GREAT, recommend poe HCSSF also

[@deucehammer]

Thx! I switched over to HCSSF on run #4 I think. More videos coming!
