what is "brutal"?

Brutal is 20% increased damage essentially.

Is there a way to check your ranking on the signature race event for the season outside of the top 3?

Misclicked my hailrake gem and paid for it when i couldnt range clear the brutal shrine in climb. Tried yoloing in, desynced and that was it. Whoops~
IGN: KoTao
My computer couldn't handle physical aura + haste aura.. just froze and died in docks.. cool :(
Well at least I did better than Helman.
I don't even know how I died. I had just started the Vaal fight, had flameblasted him and was using lighting tendrils while waiting for him to go down then come back up. Two seconds later I was dead with Vaal standing over me. I guess I lagged, but I don't know how I died when Vaal shouldn't even have been back in the room yet.
2nd qs at 30

3x fire res corrupted, 1xmagic without any blues lol
First time running Brutal mode, pretty ugly but that's how you learn :)

1 - Duelist Dual-Strike/Cleave. Brutus cleared, RIP'd at Prisoner's gate Lv10 to Lightning Goats.

2 - Duelist DS/C again. Brutus cleared but then...
This sack of shit drops just before Fairgraves fight. Swapped my weapons into it for Cleavey goodness but forgot I was running Dual-Strike instead of Double. No single-target at Fairgraves = RIP @ Lv11.

3 - Ranger Poison Arrow/Ice shot. Brutus cleared, Merveil cleared. Very smooth but desync is extra scary without 2x HP rings. Drops helped a lot too:


What I learnt from this race
- NORMAL MOBS HURT THE MOST. Bosses were not noticeably more painful.
- New players, you will notice this when you first enter The Coast where the cannibals greet you with airborne rocks.
- Most deadly 3 were Rhoas, Goatmen leapers, Goatmen Lightning Arc'ers.
- Fairgraves's summoned raging spirits feel like they do double damage. Stay cleaving.


Memos for next Brutal race
- Don't yolo into packs. Etch away at them while moving to avoid RIPsynch.
- STICK TO THE BUILD PLAN. Instead of being seduced by charlatan 2h weapons.


TLDR: Brutal mode = be wary of PACKS rather than boss mobs.


Lastly, this dropped on Merveil fight on Ranger, 2mins before league ended.

Fuck you, RNG.
