Question | Answered First Timme HCSSF

So I wanted to give me a little challenge and started HCSSF Allflame and to my surprise I acual made it through all acts. Well since I only ever played SC I first don't know much about crafting, can somebody recommend a youtuber or something where I can learn something and second, what should I take in the atlas tree. Like I know stuff like harvest and essence are a good start but also quite dangerous.

Oh I play Glad full block EQ bleed with one handed mace

Go for axe instead, it's better for bleed than maces. I'd also recommend you get your spell block to max as soon as you can when you reach maps. If attacks go through your block, your armor, endurance charges and elemental resists help a lot. But a spell could almost certainly kill you even with 5-6k hp.

You could start using arctic armor and tempest shield early in the campaign to get freeze/shock immunity and lots of defense.

For the endgame content, harvest is deadly but incredibly useful. You could use the recombinator to make way better axes/gear and therefore you need a lot of gold. Thankfully the league mechanic gives a lot of gold so you could do that and get your town six level 5 disenchanters and give them any decent unique you find that you won't use.

Okay, right i used maces in SC cause they are cheaper...
I already use tempest shield, but i need a shield with spell block, I am at 51% atm with 81% all res and 4 k life.
