Damn, my start was really bad as i didnt find a proper 2h weapon until late. In fact i only found a sword and prefered heavy striking over using ground slam with a 1h. Was mad fun though. | ||

I was in racing mode where I just ran past mobs, really caused me to be underleveled. well, i think it's ok to go to the next zone if you're on the same level as the current zone or maybe one level higher. might depend on item drops and class though. | ||

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to play one level behind at most I think. I was constantly three levels behind today and it was really annoying for using new gear and gems despite being the optimal exp rate early on. Not sure if I want to play duelist again or not though. | ||

Get fucked by RNG 1 rare item with shit stats, no transmutes, 2 blues with shit stats (after I died I checked stats and was so surprised, I was in the Top 30 overall too, with absolutely no gear). DIE to a breeze because RNG hates me. Why even bother going Ranger when most of the items that drop in short races are absolutely useless. It's like the game just wants you to go cleave every race as you need absolutely no gear to do that succesfully. I hate my RNG so much in races, I almost cried. | ||

Also that statue level took all my charges...only for me to desync briefly in front of three spitters in the next zone to die instantly. I was doing poorly anyway though. | ||

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/442549/page/1 for info about the chests btw  Templar must be great as i like Ice Nova for leveling. And yes, i think Added Lightning is worth it for Ice Nova. Especially if you have enough mana pots. Looking back i really felt noobish to not know whether the spawns from the Carrions give EXP. At first i avoided them, then i realized they're the best source for EXP in the first level, lolz. To be honest though, i feel like they could increase the droprate of good items a LOT. Perhaps it would be too imba for the already imba Duelists though, but i didn't feel the greatly improved droprate which they announced. Especially for orbs. | ||

Cleave doesn't really get better with items. You already one or two shot everything with cleave so ^_^ | ||

But i don't see how i could skip it totally, because iirc each area is like +3 levels. The merveil spawns level was fairly dangerous, but i felt like they didn't freeze as much as outside of Descent. Else i can't explain how i killed 7 of them without getting frozen, although overall i did get frozen a few times in that level. The areas only go up by 2, but skipping statues puts you straight into the cruel cold level which is like ^_^ I think you need to farm the statue level and pray for a sapphire ring drop. The zone seems so bad for farming and it would be so much more efficient to skip it, but I don't see how you can survive the next area without some major drop luck. | ||

True true, to be fair i had some dropluck. Found a rare Longsword with +5-12 fire dmg and 50+% physical damage, that helped a lot (given i was lucky enough to have picked Leap Slam ). Then again, not having decent potions sucked. Oh well, can't have everything (at least not when you pick the quicksilvers lol).Anyway, they chose very challenging enemies for the zones. First zone already doesn't have loveable enemies. First zone i loved was the one with the apes, too bad the race ended there for me as the time was over. Would've farmed that one for sure. | ||

I wonder if you could get to level 12 or close to it and then just run through statues and frozen and then farm the monkey area. 80% exp at level 11 may be worthwhile as well if you think the statue and frozen zones are that bad ^_^ Then again I couldn't run through the frozen level if I wanted to; kept getting frozen and having to alt F4 so I didn't die yesterday. | ||

I think I'll play a Ranger again as well. Grab all damage passives and hope for movespeed boots. Might be the best shot at high ranks. Probably grab RoA, Hatred and Faster Projectiles. Or you could hope for a +1 bow gem weapon and aim for PA+Fork. There's enough currency for this, but white bows are pretty rare. :-/ | ||
