@ffs @T72on1 and @Pb_pal - Wow, great progress! But @Pb_pal how is Klaus doing?
Quick update on my end for Pestilence, post-RFL Rd 3. Minimal drops and belly-aching about the same is summarized here, but he is a little past 98.33 and pretty safe along the way. The closest he got to danger was ~900 HP at end of a run, with closest S&E still having nearly half his HPs.
The progress on improved S&E times has been nice, to say the least, but the long-term result hasn't been quite as good as that initial experience, likely landing closer to ~3 second average. But that's still a major improvement
The other major observation is that map @ffs had for Ric is really, really good. I've now worked through >50 maps with 10+ runs, and I haven't found one that was as clean "past the platform" as that map, shown over the vids posted in Ric's 99er write-up (which again, major thanks for those). I think that makes a pretty big difference for necros, as having only one spot with frequent spawns (as that map), would allow much more streamlined runs. I've not found one like that, with current one having one spawn regularly but two or more also regularly, and this one lacking any shrines on-route.
I've still found a comfortable routine, with S&Es due to spawns rare even with vipers in 2+ spots due to confuse. I plan to record some vids on current map to show approach, but I'm still thinking of rolling maps again to try to find an improvement. Now that I have approach to curses down, I think it may be worth looking for improved map . . .
* * *
Interestingly, Quinta and Death did well on the rune front with more limited runs, but I'll hold off on their updates until they hit key milestones (97.25 for Quinta and 95 for Death). Keep up the great progress everyone!
