SKggs to the man Soto for running this with me, it was a lot of fun (except deception, fuck that encounter). I hope you all enjoy the end of the run. Here's his pov: youtu.be/1UbEPVNq5uU
Sorry for leaving a couple minutes of blank footage at the end of the video, I figured since it was at the end of the video though it didn't really matter
s/o to boop for recommending Acrius for damage and Gigz/Vendetta for paving the road with the P1/Gahlran strats.
Before you ask, no, we're not going for the flawless because neither of us wants to farm the first encounter for P1 RNG and ogre movement pattern inconsistency.

ggs to Grangalf for running this with me. Honestly, it was pretty fun to figure out all the routes/nerd ledges to worldline from to move around the area effectively.Last Wish Speedrun WR (17:51)SK2020-02-17 | Here is my PoV for the Team IN PB of 17:51.
Sadly, we may have reached the end of the road for Last Wish speedruns, even though our team knew we could get a cleaner/better time than this. With the upcoming worldline changes, no one knows what will happen to either this run or even all of D2 Speedrunning as it exists today.
When we started running, we had no clue how low our time could get. We started off with the goal of sub 19, then 18:3x, then 18:1x, then sub 18, then eventually "whatever time we want". I'm sure everyone on the team thought we were going to quit running sooner than we did. Some of the other guys had plans to move on to run other raids after we finished LW runs, something I had willingly stepped down from since I knew as time went on in this college semester I wouldn't have the free time to play enough to be a starter on the team anymore. Instead, our team just kept running LW for longer and longer, and it eventually reached a point where I had to step down from playing regardless due to IRL obligations.
I just wanted to say thanks to the guys for including me in these runs. It was great fun and something I won't forget going forward.
Huge shoutout to mcnulty, for helping us figure out that you can actually kill the barrier hobgoblins that spawn on the right conflux from the bottom side, without even spawning the angelic. This let us have them dead prior to actually worldlining over to the right-side conflux, which made the movement for recovering confluxes after activating right-side more forgiving (since it took less time to get the conflux up). Other than that, this challenge is the same as the standard 2 man confluxes but the timing is a bit tighter.3 Man Full GoS with 3 HuntersSK2019-10-19 | team: naya, Magic
We did this over 2 days (1 day on first encounter + confluxes and another day on harpy + boss), and didn't upload because we actually learned the CoD Zombies conflux strat doing this, so we didn't want to release it until 2 man confluxes was done.
Nothing super special except you just need overall cleaner execution on each encounter. This was a fun challenge if you're into full raid challenges as opposed to solely boss CPs.
If we got unlucky minotaur spawns on harpy we needed to wipe because hunters just can't travel fast enough to kill 2 minotaurs then make it to the first conflux before a wipe happens.
On the last boss instead of using wells we (or at least I did) ran 2x recuperation and looped tethers so we could use orbs on the ground to constantly heal ourselves. That's why you saw me randomly burning nighthawk for dumb reasons. In hindsight, I would have just used special ammo finisher but I didn't really think of that at the time, to be honest.
Improvements to this strategy would involve me worldlining at some different locations on confluxes to optimize add clear and overall travel speed, and actually using a firing line tranquility on the harpy boss for DPS instead of a 4th times one. Also, not scuffing 1000 things on last boss.
s/o to baken and Chevy for publicizing how OP 3x Dynamo is which allowed us to keep looping supers for every encounter except last boss.
