Spoiler


ms of L-1 vendor, upgrated to 15% later with extra qs
2 qs droped, 1 from climb, 1 from ship gravyard
Hrimsorrow gloves from climb
58% ipd maul from Brutus
didn't find woodsplitter
augmented AS on poleaxe
crafted 20%Q 88% ipd Doubleaxe at L-23.
had to log at low HP 3 times during the race, mostly caused by desync.
went 2 wrong ways in solaris-1


Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)

Went for Den since i didn't see a message pop for someone to enter it an as i was about to full clear it got taken.. went for dread thicket after and got that. If i didn't do these it would have been close.
I knew I should have skipped this one.. I dont mind loosing if its fair, but not to desync. was all the way in docks; 150 minutes wasted!
>1hr 57mins
>17th Ladder
>4th Duelist


Beat my old record by nearly 20mins whikle feeling I knew a lot better what I was doing :)

That being said, I shudder to think what a more experienced racer could have done with my solid gear drops from early on:

Early gear


Later gear



Recap
- Cleave might be my fave playstyle but Leapslam + Added Fire is just too good.
-- With Hatred you oneshot entire mobs your level +3 while moving towards next quest objective.
- Decoy Totem = MVP. Makes bossfights much more easy and allows farming areas with dangerous minibosses
- Lv20/21 good benchmark to face vaal (gear pending)
- Docks farmable as melee with 2x fire rings and decoy totem no probs
- Piety herself is not hard. The following mobs are MUCH more scary than facing piety herself
--- Sewer Discharger mobs (hence skip statuettes entirely)
--- Ebony soldier chargers
--- Blue ebony soldier Arc casters
- Most top-10 classes don't stop to fight any mobs from powdering sewer butthole all the way to Piety

Improvements for next time
- Skip Way forward bonus point
- Face Piety right on Lv27 to go with 80% IPD 2h Sword

Also, OP gemcutters ftw:

Started 25 mins late so with no chance at the demi i took it slow and safe. Still managed to eat a 700 damage hit from the summoner exile, somehow escaped with 11 life and returned to finish the job. Rest of the race was uneventful thanks to not rushing and life on everything, and still good for 6th in class as these boss rushes are apparently about as popular as pvp events.

Also randomly had all the exact sockets and links i needed by the start of a2, but kept collecting chromes anyway out of habit:



GG all, see you next race.
