Default Whats sorrows furnace HM like ?

Just a few questions for anyone who has been in there on hard mode.

How much harder is SF in HM than in normal ?

What are the drops like ?

Are the main SF quests doable on hard mode ?

I think the Kilroy and Orozar quests will still be devilishly easy to do.

Usually when I try to do it in hard more I'm either called insane by the ones that think HM is too much. When I'm not actually actively looking to farm, I seem alot of HM groups forming.

After saying that, I did get into 1 HM group, we got into SF no problem, but then everyone's brain seem to leave them, and we wiped at the 1st group. I want to try it again, but as I said, when I'm trying to get a group, no one wants to.

I finished SF in HM yesterday in 3hours using H&H team as SS Necro.
Didnt take any outside quests, just the 3 quests you can get inside.
Only good drop was a Ranger elite tome(Wroth dropped his Icon though, but hes not in SF so it dosent count).
Drop would be better with human players, but i prefer my heros since they actually do as i say.
I dont farm for the drops, just for the fun.
When i left SF, not a single Dwarf, Golem or Dredge was breathing.
I flagged heros and henches far away (to the entrance) before i picked up the gold coins (i would say about 10k or so in pure gold)
Dont think HM is any harder then NM (exept Orozar and Alkar quest, havent been able to finish those with my H&H team yet)

Sorry i dont have any screenshots, but the team set-up was like this:

Me (awaken the blood, a. echo, ss, reckless, defile/desecrate, strip ench, rez)

Koss (for great justice, prot spirit, spirit bond, disrupting chop, distracting blow, eviscarate, agonizing chop, rez)

Dunkoro (heal touch, zealous benediction, prot spirit, spirit bond, gift of health, extinguish, aegis, rez chant)

Master of Whisper (flesh golem, shambling horror, vampiric horror, blood of the master, prot spirit, spirit bond, reversal of fortune, rebirth)

Lina, Mhenlo, Cynn and Dunham

Guess i have to get some humans to help me with Orozar, Alkar and the Final quest.

-_- As long as you have members in your team, no matter if they are dead or far far far away. The golds will still be shared with them.

I normally use 2MM(Me as 1 of the MM), 2 SF, henchies(2monks, devona, cynn). Watch them fall in HM.

HM in Sorrow's Furnace doesn't seem that hard.

Thanx for the heads up.
Never noticed it, have so much gold its a shame and every foe you kill drop over 100gc(so even if i have to share it with my H&H its still a desent amount 8D)

Have anyone manage to complete Orozar and Alkar quest using H&H in HM?
Almost had Orozar quest completed(im sure it can be done)
Alkar on the other hand is a tougher nut to crack(due to the fact you need to split the team).
Tried flagging heros to protect him while i collect the relics/shards but they dont seem to be able to take the heat(maybe theres a trick i dont know of?)

I remember having a hard time bringing down some of those pesky monkbosses in SF, where the SS would cast spinal shivers a million times and then just wand it for on hour =(. I like SF a lot, i think it's a gr8 area and the last time i went in on hard mode, we didn't even make it pas the first grp inside...
