I've been watching races on Youtube. Everyone seems to be able to kill Hillock, from the start of the race until he falls dead, in under a minute. I've watched over 30 races so far and it's rare that any needs more than a minute to kill him.
I can't do it in less than 1:30. So frustrated. I run straight at him and I don't open any chests (just like every video tells me to do), and yet it still takes me much longer to kill him. A minute, thirty one seconds is my BEST time.
What the fuck? Why is it taking me 30 seconds more than everyone else?

ask redddit, reddditor

There are these things called skill gems
>>380658431
edgy. I bet you have a badass nunchuck collection

I realize that. But spectral throw actually takes LONGER to kill Hillock with than just beating him with a standard melee attack

No shit, ST at lv1 has 54% damage effectiveness

I've never used reddit. Is it any good?
Autists have mastered the art of making speedrun characters for GGG's speedrun contests.
I remember I joined one and was completely goddamn baffled how some motherfucker dinged a completed act 2 sort of achievement like 15 minutes after it began. I guess that's the power of playing PoE 22 hours a day for the last decade.

So, what am I supposed to do with the only skill gem given to me at the start of the game?

If you want to kill hillock fast you play a Shadow.
There's basically no reason ever to pick a scion unless you're going for some million jewel slot meme build.
>>380660707
They're improving Ascendant with the expansion pack, though
>>380660373
Don't play Scion, obviously. Her early passives and skill gems suck dick
>>380660795
Which doesn't matter in racing
What others have said, pick the starting point person that gets the best and speedy gem to start
>>380661050
Or play the junk no-one else does for ez demis.
>>380661050
But I want to play a scion. EVERYONE plays Shaddow and I want to be the guy who builds a viable Scion build that can compete with a Shaddows in races so that I can earn my uber internet street cred.

>so that I can earn my uber internet street cred.
I lost
>>380661280
>I'm retarded
Why didn't you say so earlier
>>380661280
>shaddow is too mainstream
friendly reminder that racing is dying and even if they came back you wouldn't have a chance to achieve anything noteworthy

my point was that races are rare as fuck so you won't even be able to train up to the current streamers/old players who did racing in almost all race seasons
>>380663336
>so you won't even be able to train
>don't even try

How do you know what he'll be able to do?
guys I watched a loser throw dice he got 6 twice in a row but I cannot do it what do I do wrong?
>>380663602
there simply aren't enough races to match people with thousands of racing experience, that being said doing racing for fun entirely okay but don't expect to be as good as the top
>>380663891
>thousands of racing
thousands of hours of racing I meant
