Anybody play hardcore? I found my LoD cd a few days ago, and I am getting back into the game. However, I don't think I can go back to the neverending search for items. I started a zon on HC, but died at like.. 18 thanks to the stupidity of others and my not paying attention.

Anyhow, does anyone have general tips for HC? What type of characters go best in pairs? (I have a friend who is playing with me) What stats/skills for those characters? What general equipment should I go for? Keep in mind that I do not have any items in Hardcore other than a tome of town portal and some potions (virtually).

Thanks...

What is it they say about silence being golden?
