Proud Crusader of Hardcore Leagues.
Bad race had the slowest possible act 1 ever need to work on that.



First time game didnt dc or lag me on sig race and i could progress to a3. Went very slow cuz i didn't know the layouts and tried farming sarn to see how it goes since there wasnt enough time for docks. Next time ill try be 5 min faster and go try out docks, i've heard of a shrine in the corrupted zone there ,so the exp must be pretty nice :D
Gear was okay.
Best thing about Firetrapping? Nothing sweeter than up pops "The league is ending in 10 seconds" and you come across a nice pack, lob your traps with moments to spare "The league has ended" pops up and the the mob burns to the ground and BOOM! you just gained a level in bonus time :)

Of course, everything else about Firetrapping sucks but at least once in a while there's a little bonus.



Didn't really push hard this time as it was my first Brutal race and I had a few horror scares at the start when I was low in gear. Took the chance to explore and it would seem GGG have upped the rate for Corrupted zones as I came across three in total. I obtained a Vaal Reave, Rain of Arrows and Clarity, so not really worth the effort although the experience was nice.

Aside from that drops were reasonably ordinary and had to wait ages to craft my wand but that turned out nicely.

Hope everyone else did well!
>Lv24
>25th overall
>3rd Duelist


In this race I aimed to set a benchmark for how Crypt 2 performs as levelling hotspot for Turbo/Brutal, compared to finishing Act 2 and farming Sarn. I reckon I accomplished that here. I died once but only in the first 3 minutes. Two more times I alt+f4'd, but with Duelist #2 so far ahead of me in the end, the total ~6minutes of lost playtime would not have made a difference to my rank :)

Endgear, below average

MVP: Fire Trap
Old Faithful: Life Gain on Hit

Pointers
- Brutus was hard, even though I was Lv9
- Merveil was harder, I used 3 TP scrolls to refill my pots, no ragrets.
- Srsly guise, Rule number 1: This is not a normal-mode HC race. If you use the same build as you would in a vanilla HC race, you will RIP.
- Levelling speed will suffer and you'll need to play more defensively at bosses and most mobs, but better noob than dead. RIP Helmannn.
- Strongboxes with Freeze, Ice Nova, Detonates Corpses, Explodes... skim them, man. Just let em go. Not like it's a carto :)

Next Time
- Going to farm Riverways for an extra lap before heading Crypt 1 at Lv16/17
- Once I'm geared with resistances, going to equip a rustic sash and maybe 1 iron ring sooner and hope for an Alch drop
- Otherwise, a benchmarkworthy result! :D

Lol, really? :p




double random draw prise also, really? :D
Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)
I just quit at level 7 for the 1 reward point ,-, I have no fucking clue how to race let alone on brutal, I was getting wrecked by white mobs and my drops were absolute SHIT
