my revised do/dont list for HC. note i dont duel since i am HC so dont be like "oh your chars suck for dueling" or whatever:
DOs:
1. enchantress(make lvling chars to 20 so easy)
2. BO barb(an extra %100+ life is a must in HC)
3. orb sorc(best mf char IMO)
4. summon necro(one of the easiest not to die
5. wind druid(can be almost invincible with cyc armor and some damage reduction)
6. smiter(only if you want to either duel or try ubers)
7. lite sorc(pretty much the best countess runner around)
DONT'S:
1. bowazons(they can be good if you are super rich, but otherwise are a waste of time)
2. javazons(good damage, but dont do well in hell IMO)
3. any barb other than BO'er
4. shapeshifting druid
5. summon druid(this char is one of the worst builds out there IMO)
6. fire sorc(can't kill much in hell and orb is just better for mf)
7. WW asn(too expensive for the lack of use it will see)
8. hammerdin(yes i know most of you think they are the best char in the game, but i personally dont like playing them, i dislike the way the hammer skill works)
9. blizz sorc(even though blizz does much more damage than orb, orb hits like 3-4 times per 1 blizz hit, so i think overall orb does more damage)
any character i did not list as a do or dont is in the maybe pile.
