I solo Tempest Spine often in heroics - its doable. I dont expect to see R10 completions though but then again I am often surprised what can be done by those better than me.

As per the rules you are not allowed to die more than once if the completion is to be counted. I believe you died more than that in the run you posted.

[mikarddo]

Death House R5: Solo with Hireling, died a lot in the end fight..., one level under

Unfortunately, dying more than once (per character) makes a completion inadmissible as per the rules in the OP.

We've been a bit busy, so now posting our speed runs for both Bargain of Blood and Gwylans Stand. If we find the time we'll try to make a few runs pushing the skulls later in the week.
As always, Stratimics should be posting our videos. Btw really like trying these speed runs more than pushing skulls :P

Ok here it is anew
Death House R5, solo with hireling, 1 level under. I died after completing which you can see in the chat window; does that still count as no deaths?
I think I will go to level 12 and then do Tempest Spine.

Nice, thats fine as long as its clear that you completed before dying. I make that out to be 13 points.

R1 Tempest Spine. At level, obviously no hirelings...no deaths.
R1 is surprisingly easy. I do not know this raid well so had to learn it (usually I just sheep along with whoever leads it). I might run it on a higher difficulty.

Well done. I love it when the challenge means someone goes a bit out of their comfort zone.

[Draconica]

Here's my screencaps for these speed-runs! As always running with stratimics and cardo.

Hope we still get some time to try for the higher reaper versions of these, but yeah, life's busy right now!

I made a mistake. You should have a PM with the point code now

Round 3 - BoB - R4

16 points: 5 base + 4 R4 + 3 1st + 2 solo + 1 no deaths + 1 under level




Quite easy but not sure I have the time to go back and tackle R6. Work takes up entirely too much free time atm.

[mikarddo]

Gwylands R4 - one death (ugh, died in a trap how embarrassing).

15 points from 5 base + 4 R4 + 3 1st + 2 solo + 1 underlevel




It didnt actually take 80 mins. Half the time I was afk for a work call

[Wilkans]

Dumb question did I have to start at round 1 to participate?
