This is really cool.

Anyway to check more than just top 10?

I can't load the 2 other links in your post besides the top 10 one, the others just time out.

I died with 2 minutes left as a Duelist a bubble from lvl 25. I think I did REALLY well for someone who barely practiced and was playing a class I never played before. Since I died at the very end I'm wiped off the official ladder so I was hoping maybe those ToE charts would still have me on there.

Unless it deletes people who die as it parses the official ladder, otherwise dead people should be on there, right?

The competition seemed more intense and MUCH more interesting this time around. I hope the solo races continue weekly.

Grats to BBTrolz on the win.

It was great to have a solo race, as I pretty much always solo through these. Hope for more in the future!

I did surprisingly well for my first time, and I started 45 minutes late. 79th, made it to level 21 probably could have gotten higher but I wasn't going to get another level and beating out a few people in rank wasn't worth it.

The wife died trying to pick up a rare and a spark caught her, lul. :P Also didn't know about the instance manager so can definitely do a lot better with the full 3 hours and a better way to level. Good job guys.

Nice job, Capper!

Even starting an hour late I managed to get third witch because the class is such a suicidal solo. If I weren't going to play GW2, I'd probably just /whois ImDissappoint every minute just to copy his strategy.

I'm going to playing a lot of Guild Wars 2 as well so it's unlikely I'll be playing in these races every week. Here's my gem build and general leveling goals as a witch for a solo race based around pure XP:

Fireball (start zombie) -> Freezing Pulse -> Ice Nova -> Ice Spear -> Added lightning damage (support Ice Nova, Freezing Pulse if possible) -> Elemental Weakness

Level, Area
1, Mud Flats
2, Lower Submerged
3, Upper Submerged
4, Ledge
8, Prison
(25 mins) Brutus
12, Cavern of Wrath
(50 mins) Merveil
13, Forest
*15, Fellshrine / Chamber of Sins
21, Waterfall Cave Level 1
23, Ancient Pyramid
(2 hours) Vaal Oversoul
24, Ledge

*If no competition in class stay in Act 2 at Fellshrine/Sins, Broken Bridge, Western Forest, or Waterfall Cave Level 2.

Alright, Barbie_Trolls_All here. I thought I'd post what I did and how I did it for anyone curious.

This is the build I ended up with:

Info the build:

For route it was kinda scrambled, I pretty much went through all of the game normally, except skipping Tidal island and skipping Fetid pools. I didn't stay in any zones for multiple runs except for Cruel-Ledge which I farmed at the end.

lemme see if I can post my gear, and ill supply link the ring I got from Hillock

Still sad dying at 2nd witch 1 hr 20 minutes in to suicide bomber things. Was 2 levels behind IMDisappoint at that time I think... Looking at exp chart it seems.. farming ledge till 9.5 or something slowed me down loads.. but I am so scared of necromancers lol.. I guess I need to leave ledge at 8..

Necromancers shouldnt be as much of a problem now that I learned that freezing pulse is not bad.. I used to skip it and only use ice nova so necro was kinda hard at like 8.8ish when I would enter lower prison.. will need to practice butcher runs before next race..

Oh.. I will have chances while yall playing guild wars 2 :D lol

While I do think parties are an advantage. You have to keep in mind that Kripp and I had passed the record for highest level in previous races which had parties (Unless I'm mistaken). I think the only big advantage is that some classes are slower than others and being in a party slingshots you ahead of competition of your class.

Party of 6 Marauders vs 1 Marauder, the single Marauder will do better. So I'm kinda thinking it's somewhat fair if you can assemble a good party, you should be rewarded.
