I've reached an anticlimactic end of my journey for the throne, I died at the final boss, and I dropped from 3rd place to last. I knew Kitava would be the end of me, too much chaos on the screen, some of his deadly combos unfortunately struck me down. Ice totems served me well until the end of my lvl 71 journey. I had 3.5k life, 450 shield and 75 to all resists.

All of my gear was selfound and I never bought a ticket for someone to help me kill any boss (next time maybe solo self found should be the way to go). My build was self made and judging by it's effectiveness it works quite well on hardcore. That final boss is insane though, maybe if I was more evasive and if I knew his moves better I would of survive. The most important thing I had fun until the end, my heart was beating like crazy on every boss encounter, the rush was real. Thank you @mattclarke and @ratticus for this epic contest, may there be many more to come :) Here are some of epic boss battle screenshots of my character while he was still alive and kicking.

Epic farewell song for my Templar.

Fu.k not supposed to drop dead 💀

What can you do, I had to try the boss fight. Would feel bad if I hadn't tried it :)

Solid effort, and it takes guts to go for the boss.

Congrats on the run, nothing to be ashamed of. Well done!

Guts indeed. Tnx :)

Glad you at least had fun. We will get them next time! I myself still have no idea how I would even attempt to beat him a second time around on the higher act. On softcore that will be only one where I just start diving into over and over till it’s down lol.

Speaking of which I started a softcore toon the other day. Going go enjoy that for my weekend fun. Have a great weekend!

Kitava is a monster boss, I needed a lot more practice before jumping in. I will continue to play with my templar on softcore, totem build is so good, it had so much more potential than my gear allowed it. I Couldn't find any 5 link chest unfortunately, 6 link would be even more crazy if I had it.

In deed I wish there was some easer ways to target things this season. I want say last season or the one before it you could just sit in a lower level zone like Tidal Island for an hour and have a good chance to get a Tabula Rasa.

Just paid out, and writing up the announcement post now.
Good game, mate. SSF is a funny one. When I first announced, I wanted SSF, but people found it wasn't an option (until they'd rescued the Scion.)
I changed the rules to drop the requirement, then when the league started and I fired up my first character, SSF was selectable.
By then, the competition had started.

Yeah it would be way better to play SSF, makes it way more interesting. It is easy to trade great items when not on SSF, and I've seen some players offering to help anyone beat the final boss for 2chaos orbs, insane :) I had two chaos orbs but I felt that would be like cheating, so I went in solo and died like a hero. Still I had to make my revenge and I killed the final boss with my Heirophant.

Is SSF selectable immediately in a new league? The friends who downloaded the game didn't have the option. Or is it only fresh downloads which can't select it. (If so, I'll just need to make it a prerequisite that SSF is available on one's account).
I certainly want it to be as fair as possible.

Yes it was selectable for me. It's ok, next time we will all use SSF.

Dude, that sucks, I'm so sorry. Would you have lost 3rd place if you hadn't gone against the boss?

I would probably be 3rd, I could of farmed the zones for xp. 3rd place had lvl 72 in the end, I died on 71. If I stayed in the race it would probably be a battle until the last minute. But It is what it is :) It was fun.

What is that game
