2nd attempt, much more confident having read the basics at: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Descent:_Champions RIP'd at Lv17 but that was a lot further than I thought I would get. Rolled Duelist but having offhand weapon Poison arrow + Added fire was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Basics Helped a lot Shit lel Things that went well - Running melee, offhand Poison Arrow + Added fire = EXTREMELY HELPFUL for bossfights. - Better to Facetank Brutus until you run out of health pots and only kill skeletons you need to get more charges. He doesn't hit hard at all if you dodge the big slams Things for next time - Blue packs blue packs blue packs. Priority. - Talent tree feels good, allocate points faster on the same pattern - After 15, try to be -1 level of zone when you FINISH it until you get better - Melee are again very disadvantaged in this race.

im fairly new to races, got to level 14 and didnt die...im ok with that... got a lucky quick silver flask early which helped alot. used aug's and alch's for a nice gear boost. also got a wanderlust, which helped with move speed to get from pack to pack.

First time on this race (technically i tried this back in ambush i think and i ripped lvl 2).., Anyway, first time I saw Brute, and darn, flameblast is really OP. I almost faceroolled given that shield too. Althought I went lightning: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAAuMEBwelEFgfAiycMjRJsnYRghCD29-K37Dk7A== I trusted my instinct and used flameblast anyway bec spark and light tend didnt do dmg on em. Take note, im a total noob! Not that I'm complaining tho :) just giving honest feedback and hopefully GGG give more love to melee edit: i also forgot to turn on tempest shield for extra block, clarity too hmm, but this is probably expected huh? since brut is just the first boss... well I watched an old commentary video from ziggyd before the race and brute killed em.

pam did you actually only tendrils? I was still flameblasting in halls 3 but tendrils looks like it could clear faster. 2nd Overall, 2nd Templar EDIT: Now in first, when do I get my demi Kappa SeoHyun (www.twitch.tv/Awkamess) My racing guides for S11: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15DtU8a7ruzt_q7x51pS6lG4QOl_XxAmcdP6RU-61qUU "Terrex is irrelevant." ~Lonestar420 2015 Last edited by Awkamess on Dec 24, 2014, 4:55:25 AM	Posted by Awkamess on Dec 24, 2014, 4:49:13 AM Quote this Post
