Would have easily gotten a record if I stayed alive. That brutus QS...but stupid shrine in prisoner's gate had a bunch of goat mages that just lightning shotgunned me from full life.
50 min vaal on scion, beating all my timings just to die to first pack of blue lmp dogs :\ Had a feeling something would go wrong since I felt that my rng was just too good. +1 fromm vendor, third qs from brutus, ms in vaal ruins 2

Desync into the Revenant at #19 q_q. Had pretty ridiculous luck with rolling life on gear.
Damn, died at the 1h 20 min mark, Highest rank I've ever gotten, and only dropped 30 positions after death. Will have to try again next famine.
3rd ranger, not too shabby. I should have farmed sarn more before docks to snipe #2.

Saw first to enter den as I was next to it, and beat him on the clear. Probably cost me 3rd shadow, but worth the extra point. Vaal was slow @1:12 ish, not as good as last sig despite fixing may progression timing.

CharanJaydemyr:some people need to really rethink how they spend their money....I will trash this item if I ever find it on principle...I've seen much cleverer "troll" items get turned down, so I guess GGG gave up trying to enforce that one. Not GGG's finest hour.

Started with only 54 minutes left in the race, got 7th Marauder and wasn't even trying hard. Race participation has PLUMMETED, shame.
Had a rough start, but then ms came in act2 along with a qs and my +1. Also found some nice items in sarn and later herald dropped in docks.

Spoiler


Also RIP Zoroxo. Was ahead of me by a bit. Though I might catch up but probably not with that qs of adrenaline.
Well that game was all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast!

Decided I'd play around with a Cleaving Duelist only to find Leap Slam early on and a good 2H weapon. Seeing as I couldn't get MS on boots for ages I figured it was easier to just jump all over the place.

Desync was a biatch this time around. Mobs moving, me wailing away at monsters that were happily ignoring me cause they were actually a screen away. Sigh, I knew I should have stuck with my spell characters, they're a little more desync friendly I find.



MS boots were a late drop but 15% really helps. Plus as I was a Duelist I chose the Leather and Steel skill so was ignoring movement penalties anyway. Add a couple of QS flasks and I was screaming around Wraeclast for the last 20 minutes or so :)

Although I felt slow for much of the game it was lots of fun and ultimately I did well by my standards. Perhaps next time I'll try Marauder. It does give one a sense of satisfaction to leap-slam a bunch of goat men. Payback my friends, payback :)

Edit - what the hell, 8th Duelist at level 20! Definite proof that the community really hates the Signature race for this season! Ranked 92 overall so I guess Duelist was not very popular. Luckily for me!
