As my character in HC mode dies, I'm with you!


Update 2: As some of the new people have pointed out Monster Power is ingame now(it wasn't when I first made this thread) so if you like just go to http://www.random.org/ but in 1-10 and randomise your MP lvl as well! more random is more fun! haha. Goodluck!

Welcome boys and girls to the Random Hardcore Challenge!

What is this you may ask? has Narull lost the plot yet again? Why yes my friends I have indeed, as I have decided to continue on my insane self challenge and I invite you all to do so as well.

No prize or such for this I will flatout say that, this Challenge is for fun and personal recognition.

Now how does it work? Well here we go, here are the rules of the Random Hardcore Challenge:

You must use a random name and sex for your hero from the site below.
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20010208b

Then you must randomise which class you are going to play.

1. Barbarian
2. Demon Hunter
3. Monk
4. Witch Doctor
5. Wizard


Go to http://www.random.org/ and put 1-5 in the box on the right hand side, hit generate and you have your class.

Randomise your build! Go to your respective Skill Calculator page and scroll to the bottom, see the little blue gem in the middle of the screen? Click it and it will make your build!

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard

Now here is the key.

  • YOU MAY NOT USE ANY SKILLS OR RUNES APART FROM WHAT IS GENERATED, YOU MUST USE THE RUNE THAT IS GENERATED AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE.


  • * Example, you get a wizard but don't get Magic Missile on your build? you have to remove it from your bars as soon as you login and fight your way to your first skill!

    Now you have your name, your sex, your class and your spec. Go make it in Hardcore and see how far you can get! You may use the AH, but you cannot use funds gained from another character.

    My character is below, keep the thread updated on your progress and if you die tell us what killed you where/when etc!

    This is about having a little fun guys, something that seem's to be forgotten sometimes in gaming, so I ask you. Are you up for the challenge?

    Edit: If you'd like to do a normal Iron-man challenge SirRight has a thread going here for one which is very fun as well. =D http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6412492777

    Narull's Random Hardcore Challenge has now been active for six months! What is the highest paragon level that someone has achieved so far?

    (I'm presuming some people made it to level 60!)

    I'll have to give this another go now that latency isn't really an issue. I'll see if I can beat my last effort.

    Name: Nerisnys Silentread
    Gender: Female
    Class: Wizard.
    Build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#bRgVOm!gUhe!aYbYYZ

    Not the best build in the world but it has some good points.


    You lucked out with Unstable Anomaly, quite a handy passive to have in Hardcore mode.
    Good luck!
