Winterheart, Event 2: Winterheart

This is a Signature Event. The top three experience value records across all signature races for each class wins an alternate art Demigod's Dominance at season end. You can view the current top three participants by class here.

Signature Races are Fixed Seed events, meaning that each participant plays through the same area layouts. In addition, all Signature races in a Season will use the same layout.

Question about Winterheart: So chilled ground now accelerates us, is this the case for attack/cast speed?
Since regular chill slows you down completely I'd say yes.
Also in the post about racing they said being on chilled ground makes your character 45% faster, so that would mean 45% faster in all aspects, movement, cast and attack speed.
1318 rank in last run :C

Dun forget, totem placement speed / trap / mine laying speed :P

yep i didnt like that last one either :/
hell if i know trapper and that is exactly what they forced shadow to do. i registered and joined with like no time to spare and i always play shadow. so it was like "wtf is this crap?!?" because i always use a frost blade build. GGG was like "NOPE! SCREW YOU!" flame surge and traps all the way.

Haha, same.
Went for CA as Ranger. Didn't work :P

Hope I'll do better this race as Ranger, tho. Still not sure whether going Bows or Melee.

I usually wait until I see what Hillock drops before I decide. 99% of the time I go Frost Blade/Molten Strike Duelist in my practice runs, but sometimes Hillock will drop a Rare bow (or even a Magic bow) and I'll wind up running shrapnel shot

Instead of Shrapnel Shot or whatever, I think I'm going to give Melee Ranger a shot. Getting good bows seem quite hard early on :P
