First time playing the game and currently going sentinel hardcore (lvl 37 so far and doing fine). Got a bit bored of the class and want to try a new one
Rogues are usually a squishy class. At least in diablo 3 u have a lot of mobility so u can stay out of monsters reach. I think this game is more like PoE in that even if u are a range character u need to tank some hits right?
So for a new player is Marksman viable hardcore for a new player?
External link →Once you get to end game, every character is going to be very hard for a 1st playthrough. Pay special attention to boss anticipations as some really big hits can come pretty quick if you're not paying attention.
Rogue has the best battlefield maneuvering movement ability in shift. You also have some great tools in smoke bomb and decoy. Lots of skills can have little movements added for even more mobility too.
You will probably rely on Dodge or glancing blow as your main secondary defensive layer.
Good luck.
Sry for the dumb question but is making Dodge as the main defense ok in hardcore?
Ok u will avoid 90% of hits but 10% of the time u will get cooked by 1 hit kill? Is it the case in this game?
There is a node in the BD tree that I highly recommend which converts your dodge to glancing blow at a 2x rate.
Generally HC doesn't like using dodge as dodge.
