How far are you after 1 week as casual?

Just curious,

playing this game since delirium league, and playing approx 5 - 7 hours a week, (sometimes less or more) and now in end of act 5. Takes me most leagues a few weeks till I reach T16 maps. I read a lot of posts that people are already finished with the league, or running uber / T17 etc..
Am I slow, or are there more players that play as casual and need also several weeks till they reach T16 or further?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts...

I doubt those players played only 7 hours this week. They probably played more than 7 hours on the first day alone.

You probably can get much faster than that if you wish to though. Might take some more preparation and some practice, but you could probably get to doing the campaign in the time you've played so far if you wanted to. Sometimes the game is less fun if you are doing these things and treating it less casually, do what you enjoy the most. You can get some pointers here if you wish. I'm not able to run the campaign fast myself, but I wouldn't measure it by other players, especially not ones that aren't casual.

Looks like you have a lot of experience with late game levelling, you might just need some tips form someone on how to level faster. If you levelled with that tree as ascendant I would think it would of been pretty slow going. Try looking for an ascendant levelling guide, you can probably find one for the skill you are playing.

There's a playthrough here from Havoc levelling scion campaign in 3 hours from settlers league. Might not fit exactly with what build you are wanting to make, but might give you some ideas and getting you doing the campaign a bit faster. Just keep it realistic for a casual, maybe aim for 10hrs and go from there.

(Btw my progress is lvl 94 just did Maven SC trade, ive been playing a fair bit this week though, probably 50+ hours. Casual ability, but not casual playtime.)

Im in Act VII just before hitting Arakaali.

Ive played maby 10h during week.

Enjoying it.

Those player who hit T16 in day two are not casual.
