i have a hard time evaluating my gear... hardly ever trade. I think its much closer to 20 ex than 50 ex though, so i will say 20 ex.

Gear

I borrowed a Carcass Jack and some better DPS gloves from a friend so I don't have them to link. I hope that's ok.

Had an issue with the cannot die rare. For some reason they bug out with my build where they won't take any damage and it's not desync. Hopefully I can get a better run uploaded later. :P

isnt cyclone the worst thing for speedrunning? i mean you wanna go slow so it hits more often and as faster you go as less dmg you do + desync aswell

I will show you cycloners can be fast when I'm home bro :)

oh silly me lol... they should be public now

one question.. in general consern about legit runs.. regarding gear or snap shot. u wud acculy need to buff up in lab or in start to show no snapshot, along that u dont Wear headhunter. along some videos dont have /remaining after clear.

not that im the police or this is a legit contest.. just that sky shud evaluate thies points and then accept the run as legit or not.

you can tell just by looking at what the person is running whether they needed to snapshot to get it or not. Combinations of auras/skills are either possible non-snapshot or non-possible. And the gear is all linked, so there's no doubt about it. (ie Prism Guardian user could create a false positive identification... until you see his gear and see that he is using Prism.)

Might have missed one or two, feel free to point out the ones that obstruct the rules.

Bored atm so did quite some gorges ...

here my 4 contribution runs 2 are invalid with 13 and 15 left but 1.23 why oh why sigh ... since i'm not sure how exactly u decide your run time it'd be great if u could add the time according to whatever your rules are (fyndels vid e.g. is like 1.26 long listed at 1.27 so i'd guess u discounted some startzone time or something).

valids:

GSC rating: 11 | PLEASE INSERT FOR ME | Flubby | Bananathrow | Level 100 | Youtube | ?Verified? | 11


1.26 but boss alive so not sure if valid if thats a problem i can do another cut with 1.27 where he's dead ... ( just watched that again vaal haste not used 2 pointless desyncs sigh could have been the one :!)
GSC rating:11 | PLEASE INSERT FOR ME | Flubby | Bananathrow | Level 100 | Youtube | ?Verified? | 11

invalid 1.23s:

Summary:

Whole challenge basically comes down to finding and then not failing that one map where:
- the map is 4-5 screens shorter than usual
- does not have a shitload of stones or buried mobs
- does not have all fucking packs in corners
- has packs aligned so that vaal haste is constant up
- has packs positioned so one doesnt have to run around stones to get to em
- not more then one maybe 2 desync occurs and it's not to bad (which is well not very likely with that whirling blade speed and all those corners)

and then u basically are not allowed to miss more then 10 mobs with your attacks :)

Since u mentioned something like "let's build that out to a general rating system" imho thats a not so brilliant idea. maps (even gorge) alone on the internal pack and size roll are so variable (just checking my last 10 runs that final path to the boss allready can be anything from 10 screens/packs to 2 screens/packs ). Then there's also that thing with chaining speccs vs piercing, paths that basically allow two packs next to each other vs just one straight line the whole time etc etc .. so much variance. Not to mention how much u can fuck up your normal build just because the map is an easy 74 and u can shit on all defence as much as u please (@wave fyndel :D)

Stated it several times: to me the only comparable clear speed measure is epgains over periods longer then 4hours. Nevertheless an entertaining side event that made some time fade away.

i uhm realized that after watching the sub 2 runs... their maps are much much shorter than the ones i ran.

Ratings based on cost tier is definitely a good idea. Our budget duo will post something after the skill reset. We respecced for survivability last reset but clear speed is so much more fun. :)
