Need some advice as a Sin in HM

I've finished prophecies as a ranger, then i started a Sin and finished Factions i had more fun with my Sin so i finished GWEN with my sin and did some of Nightfall quests to get some heroes (until master of whispers i think).

So... i would like to start HM, i tried some builds with my heroes but i get owned easily, so im looking for advices/tips from you guys that did it "solo"(heroes/henchies)... i tried outside of LA and got owned, that Fire Imps hurts a lot :/...

Anyway, here are my questions:
Where did you start HM with your Sin ? i mean whats the "easiest" place to start ? What build did you use ? What heroes/henchies ? What builds did your heroes had (not every1 of them ofc, mostly the principals/commons that you use or what elites is a MUST for your heroes[since i played only a ranger and a sin i dont know much about other classes]). Or is Sin kinda bad to do HM with heroes/henchies ?

Thanks =)

In hard mode db-ms really shines...alot of armor ignoring damage. I'm not that much into PvE, so that's pretty much the only thing I know .

Try the hard-but-short missions, like killing shiro or the doppleganger, or khuunavang.

you might wanna stick some runes on your heroes, give them max weapons, etc

i dont do HM tho, so none of my heroes have runes, and dunkoro still has the healing branch he started with lmao XD

haha thanks gonna try it =)

I've vanquished most of Elona with this build. Works well, the critical hits come very often keeping the stances up and doing good damage. For the team I take Herta, Cynn, Mhenlo, Lina. My heroes are generally an interrupt ranger, command paragon and a curse necro. I sometimes use a Tainted Flesh necro instead if most of the enemies are fleshy as the degen really helps with the big mobs that have resurrectors.
