That rogue party race was awesome lol. We only did it as a team of two but we killed every exile we came across, the loot was insane. Made 24th overall, despite wasting time killing exiles.

edit. new weaver is gonna be absolutely insane on turbo. rangers and witches are gonna have an almost impossible time killing that boss unless they get max health on every piece of gear. The boss is so stupid, easy on normal, but on turbo you have no way of kiting him as ranged so you either have the gear to facetank him or you rip. I don't want to imagine how hard he's gonna be on turbo with a ranged attack.

I dunno if we can really say that yet. The post sounds like she's getting a minion summoning attack too, which may ease the boss fight similar to how other boss's summoning eases the fight. If she makes baby spiders (like how Merveil makes Spawn), then so long as you can 1-2 shot them you'll get a steady diet of potion charges which might ease things.

If the pseudo-EK ability is ranged and does less damage than her right clicks (which it probably will), then her use of it will give you time to actually attack her as ranged in turbo, assuming the animation is significant. If it's instant+way more damage, then yeah there's an issue.

Only someone with alpha access can really tell anything at this point IMO.

Bleh, had a good start and then died to some complete bullshit desync in Abyss. Lesson learned: Never try to fight anything close to a bridge. I was desyncing so often I couldn't /oos fast enough, and eventually got two shot by a random champion that teleported in the middle of the bridge even though I was spamming shift-RoA at the entrance and it couldn't possibly have moved between two shots.

I really hate when you can't go through the tunnels to the left. Everytime that path was blocked I wasted several minutes fighting desyncs over some random bridge or died in the process.

ps. Is it only an impression or the servers have gone to shit in the last few days?
pss. Fleep is gonna destroy the Ranger record if he doesn't die. I've never seen a start that fast. Obviously he's not streaming it =(

My race ended quickly again, this time in the goat zone. First I desync and survive with 8 hp and burning on me... then i die to molten shell, lol. Was my own fault but whatever I sort of wanted to watch TI3 anyway.

I once again had an abyssmal Rhoa zone. Sometimes I get lots of skeletons and zombies with most of them being blue. This time once again i had lots of white Necros and Rhoas, too annoying to fight so I skipped lots of it and went to Goat zone pretty early.

dead at rank 13. Worst rng I've ever had. Not a single transmute/chance/alch dropped in 47 minutes. Ran around with yellow weps, armor belt, blue shitboots, rest white items. Got to curtain area, 4 rooms in a row with big curtains and the last one of course had the big blue curtain blocking the only way out.

Helmannn got pretty lucky, he found Enduring Cry which he's using nonstop right now.

And Fleep didn't get close to the Ranger record. It's amazing that Goratha is in the Top3 Ranger (record wise), he barely plays Ranger. Then again he's playing a lot of races.

Fleep got XP-blocked. This happens when you do not hit 23, let alone 24, before the end of Desecrated, and simply can't get any XP anymore.

I hope they fix it when the season is over. Simply add another zone and make the progression by two levels per zone all the way. You need to get very lucky to proceed with a 3 level gap.

3h Solo and 24min party overlap. Guess I'll do the 3h Solo, but man that really sucks. I guess if I die I can do the 24 min solo, whatever.

Duelists always get Enduring Cry from Forbidden Ruins Alluring chests. It has a lvl19 requirement so finding it earlier doesn't really matter/make it luck.

I just got 3rd Duelist and 9th Overall in the 24 minute race. That was intense. 10 seconds before the race started I added Avantura to my party, we played just the two of us, we didnt have a great start because he got a really bad beach instance and I accidentily aggro'd 5 crabs near hillock so we were noticeably behind, but I was first to Upper Prison and was 1 second behing the guy that got 1st to level 9. He had to log right before we got to Upper though (and we didnt find the wp in Lower or a SINGLE tp during the entire race.) I ended up full clearing upper and still had 5 minutes left, didnt really wanna solo turbo brutus (had meh weapons, no tps, and was 3rd atm, so didnt want to risk it.), so I had to manually walk back and reset the instance, I think if we would have found the wp to lower and atleast ONE teleport I could have possibly gotten 2nd because it was a very close race. (2nd-9th was 91k xp to 88k.)

Edit: According to my friend I dropped from 8th to 9th within the final 3 seconds of the race. xD These short races are insanely close at the top.

the 3h solo was frustrating as hell. I did really well in act 1 and act 2 and got to act 3 after like 95 mins, but my gear was complete trash. I ended up placing 13th overall, with good gear I could have easily made top 5.

I feel you dude, I was clearing upper prison with 2x rusted swords and the vendor didnt have an iron ring the 3 times I checked.

Yeah, i know. Mara gets it too, but Helmannn either didn't pick it or whatever. Atleast he immediately used it after finding it.

Might play the 150 min Rogue Solo later, maybe...

Dead at rank9. Some rare with runspeed aura together with the flame wolf in prisoners gate. Impossible to outrun, tried tp'ing out to refill quicksilver, but clicking on stuff in this game is sometimes impossible.

What a dumb way to go, killed many exiles on the way and had pretty insane gear.

Im pissed. :/ I finally grinded out to where I could farm docks in the 135 minute race. I dropped a Sadima's off of Hillock and was in 1st from level 3 to level 10, but asides from that I had horrible RNG on everything, 33 minute Merveil, 95 minute Vaal, grinded city of sarn to 26.5 rushed to docks, hit 27, did 1 reset, 2nd instance I clear half of it and see a LMP fire dog pack so I drop a tp to get out and reset because it wasnt worth trying to kill it.. Well.. the game had other ideas. :/ I desync'd more than a full screen toward the dogs, which apparently also had a champion frenzy dog, AND I aggro'd the leapslam exile.. Died before my leap slam was even registered in the game. I think I could have hit 29, maybe 30.
Was 6th duelist and around 20th overall when I died.. :/

I was 14th overall and died to a pack of haste LMP dogs 15 mins before the end. Man that was frustrating as hell.
