Immolation Races

I did one of the immolation races recently, and it's just stuck in my mind as the most interesting race event so far... with all physical damage being fire damage it forced a complete rethink of strategy both offensive (elemental bonuses and fire passives) and defensive (armor being useless, evasion+es being what to go for)... it even made me go through the equipment lists to figure out exactly which low ev/es armor pieces I would be able to use and so on...

Anyways, what I want to know is... any chance for a 3 hour immolation race? or even week/month? heck, it's got potential for a permanent league if you ask me hehe...

Looking forward to other new interesting races in future (freeze/shock races would be scary)

I was a bit nervous of a longer version because of how effective Resist Rings would be in making it trivial.

Not saying it's balanced... and Ruby flasks would be the new granites... but atleast a 3 hour race would let some more builds be tried out with different tactics... and balance is overrated when it's equal for all players racing anyways ;) RNG ftw

I agree with that even at the end of 1h races 2 ruby rings made you almost immortal.

My suggestion would be to make Burning Ground+Spreadsize HP based, add Flammability on explosion this will make players a bit more defensive.


Also will there be a reversed version of Immolation? Elemental Damage gets reduced-->EE races?

Chaos Inoculation race would be awesome too... start with 1 hp... best not get hit by anything on the beach hehehe... now if only one of the starter rings gave any energy shield
