Excellent. Shaping up to be another fantastic race.
Fully empathise with this;

I’ve died everywhere and on everything. From spikes, bosses, Kitava (don’t know who that is? Oh you will dear Exile), lag and not always the one in-game.

Seems Avarius, who was my roadblock for so long, is barely a speedbump now. My last 3 have died at or near Kitava. I've only got one char past him; and I was still celebrating a few mins later when some prophecy Devourers wrecked me in the Twilight Strand.
Almost got up to him again yesterday and failed to identify a rare strongbox.
Gotta show a bit more self-discipline in that. Over-confidence gets me every time.
