You're using bad logic, though. Me specifically farming essences isn't going to save me any time

It's because most people follow this mindset that runs take an hour. You don't ever solve a problem by being a part of it.

It's because most people follow this mindset that runs take an hour. You don't ever solve a problem by being a part of it.

You can't solve that problem period. So, you have 2 options: A. You can farm essences and run 15 DRs where you have no control over the duration, or B. You can NOT farm essences and run 15 DRs where you have no control over the duration.

I'll take option B. I don't care about trying to solve some macro issue in content I don't like; I just want my relic so I can leave Bozja and never come back. Spending time farming essences doesn't get me to that goal quicker.

*Admits to not using essences lowering their damage intentionally making things take longer for everyone themselves included*
*Says them lowering their damage does not increase how long the run will be*
*Talks about people using bad logic*

I get the whole "If you can't beat em' join em" thing but you don't have to go off the deep end of mental gymnastics.

I'm 1/24th of the damage in DR and an essence would only increase my damage 20%.

The ones using mental gymnastics are the ones trying to convince people that spending hours farming essences will actually be a net gain for them. It won't. The duration of any DR you're in is not under your control.
