INSANE! Diablo Hardcore Speedrun with Warrior - [INSANE] 

DFE is hard damage reduction which reduces the damage taken. When stacked with mana shield for the 33%dr bonus it reduces it far more. Plus low hp trick means FHR and VIT are meaningless.

In regards to the low HP trick: There is a glitch in the game where if you have HP lower than your character level, the game does not roll "hit stun", meaning you can walk past every monster, taking damage but never being hit/stopped. Normally, the game thinks you're going to die, so it doesnt bother rolling for the hit stun, but because we have mana shield, the damage goes to mana instead. Firewall does so much damage, because its damage doesnt actually increase with levels. Increasing FW level just increases its duration. You can also stack as many firewalls on top of itself as much as you want and the damage stacks accordingly. There is no need for a firewall above level 1.

@@DarkTenka I see. That mana shield trick is so dirty! lol! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. It's still pretty crazy to see you being able to go down to thru the Cats with basically default stats on. Well done man.

@@NeoN-PeoN magic is really the only important stat. Magic/mana fuels firewall and manashield. All stats after that are kinda useless, but the slight AC bonus from dex helps a tiny little bit. I could alternatively put it into strength if I have a specific armor to wear, but 99% of the time im probably going to sell it for the gold
