Good video but I would like to see another where you are not so lucky with drops, and how you cope with that during a race.

Don't ramdisk with under 12gb
This was insane!

Just watched the whole thing.

Thanks a lot! Want to start up racing but didn´t really know what to do. This helps sooo much!

Would also be interesting if other classes are viable in races (witch, anyone?).

cheers
Great work!
n1 man ^^
Awesome video, ended up watching the whole thing!

* Surprised you were able to get by with only the med and large mana flasks. That was funny.

Suggestion

* Hatred aura: great for DPS even at 40% mana reservation. Can get as Baleful gem reward in act 2 norm and Hillock in cruel (though by cruel ledge you were doing good without it).

In a longer race I take anger at norm baleful (EDIT: anger for later after blood magic) and hatred at cruel hillock, but if you're not going to use enduring cry or leap slam in the 3 hour race the extra DPS might be beneficial in act 2 norm.

Does Panda have a similar thread for the 1 week race?

Haha, me too. I was focused on the 1 week resistance test league when this guide was posted. It must've been buried by the time it was over.

So I was trying to decide how to keep building on this outside of a race atmosphere. I took Panda's build through 35 and expanded, focusing mostly on life, regen, and 2h damage. I also took Body and Soul because of the +elemental resist mostly, then discipline and training was so close...
Anyway it probably uses about 10 too many points but I really wanted the life/regen node south of duelist.

If Panda or anyone else wants to weigh in...how to we keep this build going? Is this a good start? Thanks!

Thoughts?

Interesting that you chose to go into the templar area instead of further into the dex tree.

* Why no Blood Magic? The high life/regen build is perfect for BM

* Iron Reflexes and Unwavering stance are very strong

* Your build is very close to all 3 extra endurance charge passives, which would give a total of 6 charges (+30% DR and all resist, +1.2% life regen with the passive near mara)

* The +1 totem passive is also right there

Apart from BM, the other changes would be at the cost of DPS but gain in tankability. This is what I was planning. If you can get away with the reduced DR your kill speed would be considerably higher though.
