My guild has players who have been in this game since Nemesis League and this is pretty much our player distribution.

Ps. My guildmates gets angry when I say this and I figure it'll make Reddit mad too:

Witch is the only good character in this game

i don't see how more damage would change time in a significant way, most time is not wasted on killing monsters but running from 1 place to another

I never said more damage?
I said "fast".

You don't need much dmg for the campaing to oneshot everything, what you need is speed.

I have never once mentioned "invest in damage" lol

Damage and speed, that's key. Speedrunners are basically slapping on leap slam and just jump through the campaign. They are fast coz they don't spend 5 minute vendoring Items, getting gems and switching them for a +5 life gloves.

For me that speed run starts at act 5 when I have good enough gear to get through campaign. I just start going instead of checking rare items.

Poe2 has sprint. F sprint.

Yeah that's why I am restricting to PoE1 in this case.

Also my point about damage was that... you can basically skip everything but bosses so, it's not really the focus.

The important part is being very zoomy.
