Sorry to hear of the loss.. I know of the pain. Give my condolences to
your cousin. Tell him that if he intends on doing an elemental druid i have
a rare amy he can have that has FCR and +ele skills on it.

His deeds of valor will be remembered.

Ouch, that's quite a step down, 80 to 20. I always advise HC players to play
multiple characters, and have more than one close to your highest level.
That way when (not if, when) you die you don't have that big drop and it
tends to be less painful.

If you'd like, I'll get the AGDHC Chanter fired up and we can power some new
toons through Normal. Not exactly a rush, as we'll be doing our own killing.
But we should be able to be through Normal and in our 40's in a few hours.
It'll help your cousin get restarted.

Glad to hear it, speaks well for a successful HC career.

Lag bites, but it's another factor you need to account for and learn to deal
with.

Gah, that sucks, condolences man
I've been busy reinstalling Windows so I still don't have D2 up and running
yet. <g> Get him to try a Jabazon, maybe... she only kills one target at a
time but with the right gear and skillset she's all but unkillable, okies
aside. <g>

Lag and PKs were about the only things that were killing my chars, so
I said heck, why not go play SP? And I'm having a lot of fun.
