Or the better question is why these rings are valuable, as I'm assuming there would be better versions of them dropping in merciless? I'm still learning in regards to the economy in this game. XD You can get every single damage roll on a ring by ilvl 50.You can get the max life roll at ilvl 44. IAS is an ilvl 1 roll. Cast speed is an ilvl 10 roll. You have access to the highest tier all res roll (ilvl 60) and access to some okay elemental rolls. The only reason you would need a higher ilvl piece of jewelry is for high IIR/IIQ rolls, or perfect resistances. http://poemods.com/index.php?item_type=ring | ||

Last time I watched nugiyens stream when he made top10 he used rain of arrows for aoe and I don't really see how it's superior unless you're surrounded. Split arrow with fork can clean entire rooms with just a few shots from a really safe distance... AFAIK, every record was set with Rain of Arrows. It deals more damage than split arrow + fork, doesn't require a link and costs less mana. Burning Arrow unlinked for single target damage, RoA unlinked for groups (linking it to Faster Projectile is usually a waste, unless that extra 5% damage allows you to one shot packs..)Basically, you do not play safe in a race. You simply charge in a room, get surrounded, RoA your own face and move on. Split Arrow unsupported *might* be better in the Desecrated Shrine zone (after hall of heroes), to make sure you stun chargers before they get to you, but that would imply you had a green socket the entire way to level it. Juggling both might be a good idea. On another note, I'm feeling very good about my early game now. I'm almost 5 mins ahead at the Frozen Abyss without any gear drop, which means I should be able to routinely get 1.2M runs with a strong Composite bow or good gear. Adjustments I made were killing more bandits/dogs in the 2nd zone while they chase me down, skipping Messier and Sawbones, and going faster through the Goatmen zone to barely hit level 6 before moving to the Spider zone. Then hunt the large chest in the Spider zone by first going up/left, if it's not there, straight right to the other end of the zone, then north to the exit right around level 9. Get level 10 in the Statue zone if possible (usually at the boss after running through the zone), grats, you made Frozen Abyss in ~20 mins with no damage at all.

You basically run right past merveil's daughters that can't spawn exploders. You only need level 11 for the monkey zone.In descent I die in Frozen Abyss every time. How the hell are you supposed to get through there without getting freeze locked and dying? | ||

I currently have a 30ish% fire/ice/lightning resist + 60% ES chest with really crappy base stats (300 armor 80ES). I want to try to buy some fusings so I can get a 5L but I think it's a waste; on the other hand this chest helps alot with capping my resists and I'd hate to throw it away for a random white item that might not give me decent rare stats :/ don't roll a 5L on your first play through, just buy one. You could get lucky and get one in under 10 fusings or you could dump hundreds for nothing | ||

What exactly do the mods do? Like 375% more damage, 60% attack speed, 60% move speed, BM and a million totems basically? Yeah, you can't skip anything. Haha. In retrospect if as many of our party didn't die we probably should have tried to get to lower prison and farm there because we were leveling pretty slowly near the end of the race and ended up losing about 5-10 ranks or so as a result. | ||

I just got pretty scared after some nasty desynchs in the alira area that puts me in the face of molten shell explosions. That, and the big curtains that shoot fire is probably the only thing I'd worry about next time. The small charging curtains actually did surprisingly low damage. | ||

Very interesting race format. 24 mins forces you to push for Upper prison, and running through the puncture dog area in turbo mode is rather... thrilling. Upper is no cakewalk either. For some reason, tons of people went Ranger even though it's the weakest in these short races... | ||

pwere, had BZ not been this lucky you would have easily won duelist. I'm not even kidding, I don't understand how some people just get the most insane weapons in these short races, it's kind of annoying. | ||

 I got a blue sword off hillock that had cold dmg, bought an iron ring + axe, found a coral ring, medium mana and rustic sash early ledge, and the transmute I used on the first copper sword I got gave me ~45% IPD and life on kill near the end of ledge. I had a 40dps Cleave by the upper prison (he probably had ~50dps). At that point you only need a good upper... mine had only a single pack of blues and a shitty layout. To get ~50k xp in his last 5 mins, he probably had 15+ champions on that level. Then I need to improve my run to the prison, I lost a lot of time almost dying to puncture.. | ||

I honestly think they need to fix the brackets of item rolls so that people can't roll 40% IPD with level 5 items. It just makes the competition really unfair. I have no idea how I'm supposed to keep up with you guys who roll weapons with 2x the damage of my weapons. I understand that RNG will always be a factor, but I just don't think it's fair that people can roll these insane weapons at such a low level. They could make it so that 1h weapons below level 10 can only roll 15-20% IPD, that would only really nerf the duelist, which is easily the strongest race class anyway and make the competition alot more fair. | ||

Also it makes the (solo) races way more interesting- it's already tilted heavily towards a dozen players as it is, but who knows- may this time you might get lucky... | ||

Then later on I stupidly didn't just log off when Kraitlyn punctured in Onslaught Cruel. Time to try something quirky and go for Searing Bond Marauder with 16% freeze mine (already have the searing touch). If anyone has a +quality searing bond gem I'd love to trade you for it, I have the devil's luck with currency drops even if I die a lot. Edit: Never mind. Searing bond stinks something fierce. | ||
