Hi !
First of all, thx for this EXCELLENT thread ! Great work, very well presented. Congrat's guys :)

I've looted a Coward's Trial map yesterday. This is my first unique map, so I'm quite excited about it. However, I don't wanna waste it (ie open it, die inside and not be able to finish it).

I'm planning to do it with a bunch of IRL friends I'm playing with. We're 3 lvl 75-80, CI cold witch, rain of arrow marauder, heavy strike marauder, with common stuff.
To get an idea of our strength, we're doing lvl 68 maps without any problems (although we try to avoid mods such as elemental weakness, no regen, +% dmg as lightning etc.). We've never tried lvl 69 maps 'cause we don't have any :D

So, my main question is : are we able to complete Coward's Trial or should we wait a few levels before trying it ? I read here and there that it's not that easy, and that there are some performance problems(low fps). Is it still the case or has it been corrected by patches ?
Secondly : should we prepare something specific for this map ? (specific potions, a specific curse ...)

thx for your help !

ps : btw, my map is quite low (22 waves/33 seconds between waves). I read on the first page that it is worth it to reroll the stats in such a case. Does it really make a huge difference to have some additional waves ?

edit : I just read this "The only thing that directly influences the drop rate of maps within a map is the IIQ of the map"

What's the IIQ ?

I was able to get a maze roll on my first 72 map!

It is 60+ quantity but no increased rares, magics, or pack size. Should I keep this, chisel up, and run it, or should I try rolling a better maze?
