Hello, citizens of Highsteppe! Have you and your buddies gotten tired of leveling good ol’ Broken Halls T1s? Want something to spice it up a little? Introducing, the BH1 Speedruns! The rules are simple; The shard must be a Broken Hals 1 with any mutation. The party must have 1 Support(Bard/Musketeer), and 1 Tank(Warrior/Paladin), and there cannot be more than 2 Runemages. This is to make sure that the party is balanced and not just DPS spamming their way through everything. The dungeon must be completed to 100%, with both bosses killed. The run stops the moment the second boss dies.
There are 2 main variants of the run – Normal % And Race %. Normal % Uses the rules as stated above. Race %, however, throws in a twist. All players are required to complete the Dragon Race found within the dungeon. Otherwise, standard rules apply.
Post a video of the run here along with your time! Have fun, adventurers!
Nice idea, however, shamans do as much or more than average runemages, so I don’t see why a runemage-party should be forbidden… and no group I know take heals in a BH 1 - if they don’t have to, like, if new players have no other class - since they are superfluous and make it much longer.
So, setting a group like this up artificially, just for the challenge, idk how many are into that.
I’d like to have a total “free” challenge, additionally to that (aka do whatever you like, potions included!) and actually would be interested in “best times ever” on a BH 1 (our best was a little under 4mins I think, but I know there have been even faster groups).
Nice idea with the race, too
But next thing is the video proof, sounds like lotsa effort, needs ppl with hardware capable to do this, plus a place to upload it (youtube acc) etc. … you can check times on the armory, right, perhaps just screenshotting a profile here after the run will suffice? Since it’s more or less fun, I’d just trust people don’t cheat with the races. Just my 2 cents.
Because it is the feckin rules, didn’t you read the post ? No seriously, we went with one rather new player who got nothin but a healer, so… just keepin that post alive, nice idea, but the ‘rules’ are a bit… far from reality…
I fully acknowledge that a healer in BH1 is redundant, it was done for balance reasons. Hell, if you really wanted, you could go muskie or bard with no support orbs/instruments at all. Same with tank. In theory you could go muskie tank, but that would be against the rules.
Well I dunno how many dungeons you did however a) you don’t do dmg if you got “no support instruments”, it is perhaps 10% - at max - of a real dps, so still irrelevant and b) you can not “go muskie tank” on these bosses… the only shard bosses in the game you can musky-tank are likely the Sewer Slime which needs no tank, and the Lich King, since you can stay away and don’t need to block a tank buster (and Lich King takes forever, since you need to poison down the add-group in between; I did that once on normal during the beta test with a lvl 12, took around 45 mins ).
