I was wondering what should I look into items for someone who has no money at all when I will hit 60, I am currently 44 and my whole fortune is 300k, I decided to save and not buy a cain set and a -Level Requirements weapon.

I can and will gift you some of my WD items that I used while lvling and some items I've out grown. I know I have a Zuni mojo that hasn't sold, reduced WD weapon, and a WD helm that will get you started.
For anyone starting in HC I fully endorse lvling black smithing to max and crafting gloves, bracers, and shoulders. The patterns aren't expensive and the results are amazing! If you choose to craft vit items you allow for your next toon to have an upgrade awaiting their lvl 60. I also managed to craft some reduce lvl items which are just great. Add me and I will help you out with whatever I can. |

Sry just realized your on eu, so u can't help you with items.
Check my profile, douvinsky or crazed213. All very good WD builds going for us. All have slight differences. I use ghostbomb, douv uses poison darts, crazed uses bears. |

Well my main skill build will be based off my Softcore WD http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Raul-2932/hero/10261796 with some slight modifications like replacing Piece The Veil with Spirit Vessel and probably using bears instead of Acid Rain until my damage is big enough to make the switch.

I hate bears in HC. Of course my SC WD is lvl 22. Bears require you to get too close the action (IMO) for safety sake. I prefer to kill from a distance, which might be why I am still alive with only 270ish thousand ehp.

I used bears with great success on softcore with not so great gear, back when I was playing the WD, I had no Zuni items because they were expensive, so my EHP was not that great, I had about the same EHP as you, and I must say that it helped me melt the elites faster which was my goal, because Acid Rain took a good while and in the end was causing more troubles than getting closer spamming bears and leaving the area.
[EDIT] After checking out the prices of items on the AH I got deeply depressed. |

Don't be too sad. You'll get a drop to get you started.

@Raulzor
Having no money at all is difficult. I am not sure about prices on the Europe server. What you could possibly do when you hit 60 at Hardcore: 1. Craft AB shoulders - go for vitality (recipe not expensive in American AH). Do the same vitality craft for AB gloves and bracers, unless you could find some great bargains in AH and you got enough vitality overall already. You don't have to burn all your gold trying to craft the good rolls, I would say just craft one for each as a start. 2. Then, when you are not geared enough, join Public game. Don't be a hero, just patiently loot those Demonic Essences and Tomes. Stash those excess tomes and you could decide what to do with them later - for me I just sell them and they are easy gold at 20-30k a piece at the US server. Regarding WD build: Bear build is certainly the pro-way of farming, since they kill elites fast especially when combined with Mass Confusion/ Paranoid which let the monsters take additional 20% damage. My Acid Cloud build is not the most efficient build for farming, but I am sticking with it for now since I feel comfortable with it for safety reason. Dogs for life-link. Gargantum for additional tanking and for the may-be-not-so-remote chance of disconnect. Soul Harvest is simply too good to pass since it not only increases your damage but also your resistance. Spirit Walk is a must for me. Acid Cloud is my primary that I could down trash mobs fast and at a safe distance. Poison Darts - nothing really special but it is something that doesn't cost me mana. Lastly, Would you consider playing at the American Server? It is easier for us to lend you help here. |

I would play US, but leveling all over is excruciating :)
