Hey, apperently the elixer of death evasion is getting removed.
Frankly i’m not to happy about this. In a game were alot of stuff can one-shot you, i personally like to use it, especially when trying high end dungeons on new caracters. And trust me, even with death evasion popped, there are alot of way’s to die ;-).
Though i understand that some people don’t like it, I thought it was a verry elegant solution. The die hard/purists/streamers have the option just not to use it, and the more normal people, that like a safety net, have acces to one.
As i see it, there is a alot that could get some more attention in this game. Death evasion is one of the things i thought was really nicely designed, since you actually cater to two different camps. And ist just getting removed. Why?
So i’d like the devs to reconsider this decision plz.

You’re not alone as others have posted about this. After hearing all the smack talk from people who obvious haven’t pushed on the more difficult HC content I’m all for it now. I want to see them suffer and rage quit the game.
If with the new changes the game becomes so easy that dealing with lvl 150+ mobs and elites/bosses isn’t a big deal, then screw it, EoDE’s absence is the least of my concerns.
Finally! We can play hardcore and actually die in this game… Use the protecting aspect and… gl hf ss
Sure, if you play on chicken mode there’s no problem.
But what the hell can you do against the one shot killers coming from nowhere?
I play only HC since 2000 in D2 and D3 and D2R, there are NO one shot killers.

Hey all
Hardcore Mode its very cool Elixer of Death removed, ok fine.
But for Lilly Trys or other Content i need a Item or other Second life.
Could you please make an item that has a second life as a passive ability.
VERY RARE but we need this in hc 
Nobody who actually plays hardcore wanted this removed. Yet another tone-def, nonsensical move by the devs.

Well basically there are many one shot killers in D2.
Lets say especially in 2000 before LoD:
Hell Hephasto with curse extra strong extra fast Might aura (aura is random other 3 are always).
He hits 700-1000 without might aura when you have curse. On a Barb you can get 2500-3000 HP at the very max (BO only boost about 60% hp in the pre-lod version).
Many characters can die to him one hit… or two hits which he does quickly as he is extra fast.
MSLE these are very deadly potentially. You can survive a couple stacked bolts with max resist… with lower resists you might die instantly. You would have to look for the boss stats and avoid them to be safe.
Iron maiden + melee… obvious especially dangerous for whirlwind since you cannot stop it mid WW… you can try to save & exit though if you see it.
Stygian doll elites. Had my barb in 1.06 just lose 1,5k HP when one exploded.
But yeah in D2 you have another ways to avoid death like quick town portal and back to town… or just run away.
For some reason these modern games you are locked into a room and cannot escape until the boss is dead which is not fun when you didn’t know what you are up against especially first time playing.
Lol. Why would you play HC in current version, when Pit Bosses attacks are not telegraphed properly? Small lag and you die, not because of your skill but bad code.
