I've decided to create a video demonstrating how I play in the 3 hour races as a Marauder (note: pre-nerf, groundslam deals 88% base dmg). Currently I am the holder of the 3 hour solo record at level 32.76. The video is full of commentary describing my thought process and general strategy towards the race.

- Western forest by level 16

- Weaver, Sins, Bandits

- Vaal by level 22

One thing I kinda start talking about in the video and then get distracted is Ramdisks. I just started experimenting with one and I'm not entirely sure I am doing it right yet (I just copied my entire PoE folder into ramdrive and run from there) and how well it compares with SDD, however I recommend you give it a look. You can read more about it





As I mention in the video, if you know something I miss, or have an advice for ways I could do better, please share it with us. Also feel free to contact me in game with feedback. You can usually find me on one of my Panda characters. You can also PM me on youtube.
