Making my first ever hardcore character:
...............................
Been making far too many plans for future gearing targets and methods instead of getting work done today, when I'll probably just rip in a2 or a3 normal . So obviously I'm having a great time so far.
Jiansonz was a pretty big proponent of Blaze, and I think I remember at least one time that he used it successfully in a tournament. I'm not sure which one exactly but I'm sure you can find it pretty easily. The are a couple different tactics you can use, like laying down a carpet of flames and leading monsters back and forth. Seems like great fun and I've always meant to try one.Anyone ever use Blaze? Ist it fun and viable, I think it should be, but wouldn't mind an answer, as sorceress are my least played class other than for specific target hunting years ago and my Hydra Sorc in the Random tournament who's life was taken too soon.

It's finally time for an update! I had gotten Rowena to the Outer Cloister waypoint before the RFO began, and I don't remember much of the journey. I was very excited to see this ring for rescuing Cain, though:
I pushed through to the Inner Cloister to give myself a break from killing Hell cows, and after I finished my 20 hour set, I finished up Act I tonight:
Andariel's drop was definitely small potatoes compared to the two Flawless Rubies I found from killing the monsters behind her spawn point.
Finally, crafting time!
Weapons were first up.
I went with the Yari, as it was the first exceptional Spear Fara offered. Not much to write home about except for the PMH. A shame the mana leech wasn't life leech instead.
I tried both the blood and hit power recipes with fast bases to see which came out better. I'll probably end up using the Crowbill for the better damage and extra life leech.
Next up was the jewelry.
Not bad, but definitely could be much better. I was really hoping to get some mana leech on the ring, but I was glad to see the strength bonus. Without that I would have had to wait to use the Crowbill.
And finally, the armor slots.
Meh
Very nice!
Went with the caster helm since I failed to get any mana leech, even though masks are fugly.
Merc's armor for the frost nova deliciousness.
I should have gone with a blood helm for life leech, but this one turned out very nice!
I then went back to normal to personalize the Rhyme Bone Shield. Here's what we look like now:
Not too bad. Definitely much, much better than the white/grey pieces we were sporting before! Our crafting session left us with 3 junk jewels, 1 perfect amethyst, and 1 perfect ruby. We are also fresh out of Sol runes. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing and finding upgrades.

@Vang - Ouch, RIP Solidify. Condolences on the deeds, getting stunned can be so frustrating when you just can't get to safety. Will you be re-entering? Also, do you always play with the numbers turned off on your health/mana bulbs? That would drive me nuts not knowing exactly how much health I have left!
I wouldn't mind if you waited, because otherwise I will plunge right into your new tournament and neglect Lugh in this tournament!No re-entry, I actually got another one I'm going to host just debating on doing it now or waiting (Kind of want to play Magic Legends beta next week)
As for your question, yes I never have the life/mana numbers up.
