The brutus dude grapple desync imbedded my character into the side of a post which completely immobilized the poor guy. Tried to run, but no go.

GGG, is this an intended function? Because this has happened on several occasions in the regular brutus encounter as well.

The question has never been officially addressed before, so I can't imagine it would be now either. :P
2 fucking desync at rukuku lol 2 rip
and 1 with Avatar of the Tempest at 1 hp left :/

First run was going great, started Rukuku, dodge first lightning warp and dps, 10 sec later....."You have been slain", no lightning warp graphic..../oos and rukuku is on top of my corpse.

Second run went decently, up until brutus....he was desync'd to hell this run, 8 out of 10 of my flameblasts did nothing to him despite him being well into graphic. Didn't die, but almost oom'd, and lost like 3 extra min. All things considered, 18 was a decent result for such desync >< Usually able to avoid it and wasn't an issue outside of those boss fights, but man, when it rains it storms I guess.
Meh, died twice in this race. One time in the beginning then again at Rukuku getting tripple shocked stacked and insta died when he was one hit away from dying. -.- Second run was even granted with insane movement RNG getting extra movement on flask and wanderlust drop, lol. Reached 19 on my third char with decent weapon RNG (each upgrade available at level up).

Spoiler
died at the 1st level, then got terrible rings, ok-ish last zone (not that much of an arcers, but still a lot, 3 blue packs)

carried by this OP belt
rest gear is terrbile

Made good time and had decent gear but there were just no blues anywhere. Barely hit 13 before entering stormy ledge. Oh well!






That terrible run was somehow good for 2nd ranger too, funny stuff.

GG all, see you next race.
