Season One, Race Event 4: Three Hour Solo

Man I did not expect to win.

The start of my run was a mess. I skipped Hailrake and ran to Ledge, then the client timed-out as I was loading Ledge and kicked me out. I didn't have Submerged Passage waypoint.

Decided to just double back and kill Hailrake, then ran all the way back to Ledge 'again'. My DPS didn't start kicking off until a good bit into the race, and I ran through the Pyramid and past Vaal so underlevelled everything was scary. Got to City of Sarn, farmed there until I felt ready, and ran straight to Docks. A lucky chest drop and a fire ring I bought in Act 2 town after reaching Docks gave me capped fire resist and plenty of armor.



An absurd number of close calls as I pushed it hard due to my bad start.

By the way, this saved my ass 3 times in Sins:



GG everyone. :)

Found this early in game, was like bloody hell yes! then realised I couldn't use it for several levels...pfft..

296th

Got 31 overall, 6th as Duelist. Pretty much just farmed Western for the entire time. Definitely do it differently in the future.

#1 ranger, rng was good to me

GG. Yeah, that docks farming can be though as a marauder, didn't progress to docks until 30 minutes remaining. Had a good race all around.

wow, you won with that gear. Awesome. There's no way I could have done anything nearly what you did. Really well played. I can't say anything else. Here was my gear. I was sweeper. I took my gems out, but my gear was pretty decent...

Horrific RNG for this run; things didn't start picking up until about 20 minutes after I made it to act 2.

Ended up dying due to desync 4k exp before 20.

Oh well, at least I learned a new build. Shame that melee is so horribly affected by desync; first ever HC death, first time really playing a full on melee character.

I sure won't be doing a melee build again until they've fixed the desync.

Damnit I need some tips for playing a witch in 3 hours. I got 1 hour down pretty good. Generally end up 16-17 on my prac runs. This caused me to be at least top 10 witch after 1:10 or something, then I just hit a brick wall.

I had big issues killing the bandits even though I was lvl 22 or something when I did it.
I went fireball -> freeze pulse -> fire trap -> firestorm -> added lightning -> increased crit. I tried firestorm with the links ( got a 3L early ) and I swapped it for linked FP near 2 hour mark...

For passives I picked mostly dmg points, but still seems I had issues with dealing damage. I kept dropping in rank (overall and witch) in the last hour big time.

What am I missing?

Any tips appriciated!

Damnit didnt get my 3 points. Allmost made it in 2 hours i had. Maybe next time.

GZ myapeli.

After Marauder death I rerolled to Ranger @ 30-35min of the race, took act 1 slowly and transitioned to western forest yolo dual quicksilver PA+RoA farming.

Results: 27 lvl +71%, #92 overall #20 Ranger.

Gear:


I really want to do well as Marauder but I need to get better at handling desync issues in risky situations. I guess I'll be racing with all classes to get some experience and feel for each.

Sorry to take so much out. But this is exactly how I feel.

Not sure why. But well:

I think it's because as long as you got to a reward tier in closed beta, you would have got a reward even if it was only 5 random currency. You would still have a chance of getting an exalt or even just a gcp for your time. That was have the reason to do most of the races for me even when there was no chance of winning. Now it's just a grind for the points.

The races are still fun competing with everyone but you pretty much know what your getting now.
