Steem Path of Exile competition started last night and it is heating up today, we already have some players far ahead of the rest. But here is where things get interesting, the farther you go the chances of death are increasing, only very safe play will save you later on.
I started with my Duelist character and I'm building around new skill that was introduced in the bestiary league. Spectral shield throw makes my character very tanky and with a lot of resistances and life I might survive this hardcore competition, but also I might die to some basic mob if I do not pay attention to all the deadly affixes they have.
