EPTI'm trying to practice to the point where I can reach act 2 by the ~40 minute mark. Most recently, I was at around 25 minutes and almost at Brutus before I died to the Upper Prison boss, after narrowly escaping death against Chatters. By far my best attempt, but I think I'm still too slow.

next thing to try screwing around with is Leap Slam Marauder. I assume it will also turn out bad because of either not enough damage output or not enough life nodes, but it'll probably be funner at least. build + Show Spoiler + http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBAecCcQSzBOQFLQ6tEuEUIBRNGNsZLhmFGjgaVRv6IWAkqiXfJ-0otSmlMgkyiTboNuk62ECgQ5xHfk3YUEdQUFRJVbVXDVfiWGNZ818_YEtgiGEhYVJko2VNZp5uaXKpdO108XXQeu982YM4hNmE74dqjHaMz5BVkGyRzpkrnrmezZ_LogCkGacwp4SplKvFrKq53b2BvqfAD8AaxtjSIdJN1I_ZYeNq51LsOO8O707vfPAf8i_z3fZI9zL46_rS_7A= build summary + Show Spoiler + http://www.exilepro.com/build-summary?build=AAAAAgEBAecCcQSzBOQFLQ6tEuEUIBRNGNsZLhmFGjgaVRv6IWAkqiXfJ-0otSmlMgkyiTboNuk62ECgQ5xHfk3YUEdQUFRJVbVXDVfiWGNZ818_YEtgiGEhYVJko2VNZp5uaXKpdO108XXQeu982YM4hNmE74dqjHaMz5BVkGyRzpkrnrmezZ_LogCkGacwp4SplKvFrKq53b2BvqfAD8AaxtjSIdJN1I_ZYeNq51LsOO8O707vfPAf8i_z3fZI9zL46_rS_7A%253d | ||

YOU do not fight dangerous enemies and you don't go into side areas during race (including ones that give you additional skill points). | ||

Should be ok if its linked with like Added Fire Damage, Increased Melee Damage and something else like Weapon Elemental damage or maybe life leech. | ||

Ideally you should kill Brutus around ~25 mins, Merveil under 45, but it really needs to be closer to 20 and 40 if you want a top spot. Before the duelist buffs, Brutus was usually a lvl 9 kill and Merveil a 13 or 12 with good gear, now it's easily a level 8 and 12 kill. Not sure how it will impact the end XP, but 500k should be pretty easy now. | ||

He is fast enough to give you trouble and you will only run into a bigger group of leapers if you try to outrun him. Not to mention you cannot outrun him without quicksilver flasks which take luck to find as doing medicine quest is too risky. | ||

He cannot catch you when you keep running (without armor, no bonus movement speed) and he may stuck on another mobs/edge so you lose him anyway. There is no reason to kill mobs in there if you don't have to, so if you have to run with him all the way to graveyard, do it. Running in bigger packs is matter of experience, you just have to micro them (shoudn't be a problem for anyone playing Starcraft). I don't remember killing him ever... | ||

Most of my deaths are to getting stunned once by Hailrake, and getting killed by his minions. I try to pull them away, but sometimes, he snipes me. Another death was against Sawbones, I believe. Regardless, I'll try to skip more minibosses in future. The only sidequest I do is Medicine Chest. Oh well, time to practice more and hopefully be less bad. I'm going for a Cleave/Fire Trap Duelist build now for short races. Another place where I fall short I think is stuff like inventory/vendor micro. I feel I waste too much time with that, in terms of picking stuff up, vendoring stuff, and otherwise. | ||

I'm not sure if doing Medecine Chest is worth it for a Duelist in 1h races. You already get one fire trap from glyphs, and the quicksilver flask doesn't make up for the time wasted. I think if I was to do it, I'd do it from the Ledge or lower passage waypoint instead. Simply warp back to mud flats waypoint, run to hailrake, log out, waypoint back to the Ledge. At least that's the plan in 2-3h races. It's also a good idea to buy a medium life flask in lower prison if you haven't found one yet, and a level 8 weapon if you go 2h. Then buy a leather belt after Brutus. You should also check for Sapphire rings at level 10-11-12 (possibly 9?). Having 50%+ cold resist will save you a lot of time on Merveil. | ||
