Season Nine, Event 117: One Hour Endless Ledge

Please remove undying grapplers from these races. They're disproportionately powerful compared to any other monster including A3X ones and whether or not you survive is decided purely on whether you roll them before level 6. I say this as someone who has placed in many single digit ranks for ranger in EL this season - out of all deaths in the whole race seasonwide, I'd be fairly confident at least 85% of them were from undying grapplers.

If this format doesn't see changes for the next season I'm just going to boycott EL.

That's pretty bad too but you can kite away from most of the monsters that will punish you during it. The main exception is blackguard arcmages, but they tend to come in small numbers and don't have a lot of hp. On the other hand, grapplers simply teleport and explode.

In a bad situation, I made a bad call and ran to my death
one of the few times where I'm the one at fault in endless ledge

3..2..1.. Go! Hey what great luck, a huge pack of blue archers right at the start!
... and dead! Whoops, serves me right for being cocky. Must be the quickest death in the race I reckon :)

A quick re-roll and did well up until Peperatus. Damn his wormy guts! Still, it was the last couple of minutes and I was just pushing forward as I achieved the level I was after. Death or glory! OK, death it is.



Was a bit slow to get started but one thing I didn't struggle with for a change was Alchemy Orbs. I think I found 4 of them all up and that's where most of my gear came from.

No topaz rings entire EL lol.. was nervewrecking getting into the higher level maps with dischargers in them. Zzz.

Dischargers prevented me from hitting 31. Was 2% away :D

Everything was fine:



Then zone with:
- jumping frog thingys
- lightning bitches from a3
- poison alchemists
- lightning alchemists or what is called that 12 lightning ball shit from SofGod
- and fkn teleporting DISCHARGERS ;'(

560hp one shot

Died 5 minutes in on my Scion - rerolled shadow and alched the +1 light scepter early on. Then I found a Goldrim, which made progressing a lot easier. Multiple element heavy zones with grapplers arc mages etc - which were now a complete joke. Managed to end up #7 overall, which shows the power of a lucky find like this.
