0.9.11 Two-week Hardcore Race League

Can I suggest that in future HC races all characters that die are moved to a seperate default league? For the purpouse of seeing levels of people who die.

My suggested name for this league: "(race name) Hall of Shame"

so a few days ago my 50 marauder got to merciless. This race was my first time past act1 normal on any toon.

Got him to mud flats and things got a little sticky, was about 20 levels away from top20 so i put him to sleep.

Picked him back up today cuz i felt like a wuss. Smooooothly pushed to lvl52 and Brutus; 1.5k life 2k armour.

Then i got owned by Brutus with a 2 hit combo. FML. He fought the good fight. RIP Shaolungbaoz.
ok i posted something! Can i login to the game now??
I like that idea.. maybe to get an idea how many characters were made, and how many made it through the race
Was a great time everyone.
Booking my orbs at lvl 70 duelist.

Eth knives, bear trap, fire trap, enfeeble.

Wow, I don't think you have enough defensive passives.

How's the trap dps on later difficulty levels?
Died at lvl 57 on my last attempt at the race, completely my fault this time but my ranking was pretty much set at about 50ish anyway and I wasn't making much progress up the ladder. Congrats to the winners!

Hopefully another one or two week race starts soon after this one finishes this week. It was lots of fun, and always more interesting to start with a fresh economy.
Level 28 at the moment. I didn't hear about the race until about 3 days ago but I'm going to try to at least get to level 40 before it's over!

I missed Diamond skin... /fail

Bear trap was doing about 5k dps with iron will and added fire and whatever the 3rd support ended up. Was great for killing high life targets, or for giving me time to shoot at things.
Fire trap didn't have any supports on it. I don't even know how much damage it was doing. I didn't use it too often, mostly things with alot of life, or reduced physical. Socket wise, it was the skill that always got neglected.

Eth knives was doing ~1200dps. Was using IQ as a support leaving only faster cast and faster projectiles. Had added fire when I needed more damage, but I much prefered having the extra IQ, especially for finding maps. Running pyramid from 61-63 drove me nuts. After that, most of the time I was running 100%IQ/100%IR for map farming just to ensure that I had enough to sell extras, and keep getting higher maps.

The damage output was flexible, albeit a bit low due to all the passives. If i needed more DPS against higher life, lower damage monsters, I could turn on hatred and use projectile weakness while still having 2700 life (reserving 1000ish). Only times I needed the full 3700+hp was when running maps with rhoas or flicker strikes. I really was counting on getting at least a 5 link and probably spent 100 fusings trying, but it just didnt happen.

Overall I was comfortable with the build. Never ran into serious danger. Killing speed was a touch slow overall but that was intended. The flexibility was to easily be able to scale down defenses when it was safe.


edit: looking at the poe stats website, my time to lvl 70 was pretty good in comparison, really only behind rangers. Assuming those numbers accurate, the build looks pretty efficient time wise, despite being full blown defense passives.

Rip. Buri_hcrace

lvl 42 marauder , my first marauder ever and my best achievement on Hc for Poe. really enjoyed it .
He kicked the bucket at overlord in cruel difficulty .

My own fault , things were going to easy at a point where i got careless , loved it none the less

killed him in normal league , same gear and skills only this time i used a brain aswell . no sweat , shame on me

I'm surprised I haven't died yet, I'm not much of a hardcore player at all. But I guess a tanky summoner was a bit overkill on safety, I kill things so slowly.
