Back during the Fall of Oriath launch, I initially ended up sinking quite a bit of time into a new character in order to experience the story again along with the changes that had been made since I last played in early 2014.
I got my Harbinger self-found league witch (around level 53) to Part 2/Act 6 but hit a wall where my character was no longer dealing out enough damage nor mitigating the incoming damage. So I took a break back in August and kind of ended up forgetting about returning to deal with this character before this particular league concluded.
It looks like I am not going to complete my playthrough before that happens though so I may need to do that on standard where I’ll have a lot more currency.
It’s why I didn’t do this returning run-through on hardcore where I knew the inevitable was going to be getting kicked back into the non-hardcore league (some unique monster simply 2-shot me while doing one of the listed quests). Even in a non-hardcore league, death zerging isn’t an option due to the experience loss penalty. I know part of the problem is build (rolled my own as opposed to looking stuff up) as well as gear.
Getting to this point was still enjoyable since I did at least complete part 1.
