Level 1 DPS Competition

We're running a competition over the next week for people to get the highest Damage Per Second value on a level 1 character.

The competition ends at 2300 UTC on Sunday December 4. (That's noon NZ time on Monday next week.) Note that this is five hours earlier than the initial end time that we announced.

Prizes will be awarded on both the Default and Hardcore leagues. For this competition, the prize is a Mirror of Kalandra:

To enter, post your entry in this thread, saying the name of the character, the amount of DPS and whether it's hardcore or default. We'll confirm the values by copying the characters to our internal realm.

Our way to confirm your DPS is to load your character into whatever area it starts in, open the character screen and read the "Damage per second" value while "Default attack" is selected.

You'll observe that level 1 characters cannot equip skill gems. This means that the DPS of your default attack is being measured. We will not count any damage that comes from conditional elements such as buffs, flask usage, "damage on low life" from the unique Redbeak, etc.

Edit: We have reduced the length of the competition by five hours so that we can deploy 0.9.4 afterwards. The above time (2300 UTC on Sunday December 4) is correct. This also means that we can confirm that the competition will be judged on 0.9.3 balance values. Sorry for the small change of plans!

The competition is now over! Prizes are as follows:

Default League (Mirror of Kalandra):
  • Sexmachine (Fatigue) - 64.8dps


Hardcore League (Mirror of Kalandra):
  • LevelOneDpsEntry (Lurker) - 56.2dps


3 Runners-up (Exalted Orb):
  • wert (Moordakhan) - 50.3dps
  • Ex_Test (Covert) - 47.4dps
  • Praetor_Gt (Garr0t) - 45.1dps


The prizes have been put on the cursors of the winning characters. Congratulations to all the winners!

Mmmm that mirror is in hardcore league? Now we know how you got that lvl 43 ranger? ;)

There is no way to get into the twilight strand with a higher level character right?

That would completely defeat the purpose.... ^^

Sounds like a super fun challenge :)

Sounds like fun, nice prize too!
Just to clarify - you are allowed to transfer items to this character from other characters (or enter other areas) providing you stay at level 1.

No, it's basically a twinking competition. Interesting stuff.
