Alright, we're finally gotten to act 2 on hardcore on video!
Only took me quite a few attempts, lol, but I gotta admit the improved ping has played a giant role (but also the legendary mace). I'm still kind of going quite damage output here but need to start being more careful about finding items with high armor and strength and stamina now. I've also been a bit unlucky in the health potion upgrade department for some reason which usually is quite easy, need to remind myself to check what the vendors have to offer more often as they renew their shop every time you level up.
Another important thing in act 2 which I haven't spent too much time yet, but should, is to make sure to upgrade my items to higher item levels and then try to upgrade those with more stats with things like exalted orbs, etc.
I'll try recording the rest of act 2 today, although since it's an act I haven't played as much it may take a bit longer, especially now that I'm trying and kind of have to be more careful and make sure I'm not underleveled or undergeared before I start encountering the important bosses. I kind of also have no idea what resistances I need to look out for for the last boss, but trial and error is the way forward!
