Soulthirst, Event 114: Malachai Kill

took it super casual, my reward:

LOL

Ripped at brutus cos he didnt miss at all?! even with some eva gear... 3 consecutive hits although I did move away after the 2nd hit. Wasted like 15min cos muled and got lost etc. RNG was good too....

Rerolled, no ms boots AT ALL. Lost count how many pair I id-ed. /played shows 2hr 25min :/ (still 3rd aint bad)

Well at least I improved.




Oh totally forgot about my helm

>4hrs 4 minutes (3hrs 53mins /played)
>35th Ladder
>3rd Duelist


Worth noting:
>crab_dad could have killed Malachai twice in the time it took me to kill him once (and with 10 seconds to spare).
>1st and 2nd duelistd were 28 seconds apart. 2nd duelist and 3rd (me) were almost an hour apart.
>no ragrets.

I took a year off POE and missed the launch leagues of Awakening, so this was the first time I played through A4 legit without getting carried by an alt. Took it at very relaxed pace, got QS flask twice (mule+main), 19min Brutus, 40min Merveil, 1hr20min Vaal, etc. Good weapon RNG so I stacked life and resists, managed to get 65+ on all eles.



It was fun to learn the bossfights on the fly without any strats, and even with 1000hp I nearly died 3 times from revenant unique, Piety cleave and Malachai fight. Although I'm happily a scrubcore main, playing HC mode races definitely makes your skill improve since you have to always be alert and paying attention. If SC is the supportive hippie mom, HC is the strict Asian parent.

Stsrted 40 minutes late so didn't play with any urgency. Used about 20 chromes and never got what I was looking for.

I thought completion time was based of char creation, now it's shows 5h 5min ^^
did it in 3h18min goddammit!!! ^^

I don't think this was a good time to plan a 7 hour race least for USA time zones.

Race takes like 2 hours lol

I'll be watching. Don't let me down, exile!

Jimbobkevint nice Brutus kill. Where is the rest? You said 2 hours, lol?

All good. We have another try on Friday. Good luck. :)





For myself, first Malachai clear. Last 2 seasons I either ran out of time or Corrupted Piety got me with her corrupting beam. This time I smoked her. Last clear of the race. 22 seconds to spare. Like a BOSS! hehe.

If Raiz had not gone Shadow, I would've gotten first Shadow at a whopping 4h16m.
I honestly would've felt bad receiving a demigod with such an atrocious time :/
Got free six points though~~
