HC players, how long it takes you to finish ACT 1,2, 3, etc. currently?

[RawMeatDiet]

When I make a new character I finish Act 1 in 3 hours or less, with a few small items I had in backpack or without, it's almost the same thing. I play Warior.

How long does it take you? I didn't measure Act 2 and others.

If someone is good I imagine 2 hours is reasonable.

It took me around 7-8 hours I think for each act.

How long do you think it would take you now if you tried?

The reason I ask is because devs said they expect us to play 20 hours to finish campaign. That includes Hardcore players. If we play well we should finish campaign in 20 hours no?

I could do it much faster but isn't it much harder when you are underleveled? On which level did you finish act 1, do you remember?

On lvl15 or 16.

For Act1 i think being that level is fine, it doesn't slow you down because your dmg comes mainly from your gems not items.

Act2 is harder to go fast because you will lack resistances. So need to always check vendor every level in case you find something useful. I think doing Act2 with mainly blue items is fine, a few rares mostly blues for resistances.

If I get op weapon drop from renly or finn act 1 shouldn't take more than 3 hours if u just rush through.. coz in cruel I just brezzed through act 1 like it was nothing.. only time I died was at the end to the wolf I just reallocated ascendancy to damage reduction on tail wind and finished it. And then they went and nerfed the wolf boss

I never been to Cruel Act2. What did you think of it in terms of danger? And Act3. Did it feel different to normal playthrough?

From what I see, Act 3 Cruel you need 2k-3k hp to reasonably do it.

act3 cruel 1500hp was fine, carry around various resistance rings to top off a specific resistance for specific fights. Utzaal becomes tough, cold and chaos resist works there. Once you have topped resists campaign is too easy, same problem as with poe1, where resists govern the entirety of the endgame, sad.

Thanks. Is that for ranged characters? For melee 1.5k would be low in Act 3 I feel.

Nice timings in cruel. I am not looking forward to mapping in hardcore, it currently sucks.
