While the dark world of Wraeclast is still reeling from the corruption of ambitious men twenty years after Kitava's fall, the competitive scene is seeing its own rise to power. GuyThatDies has claimed the overall fastest time across all three race events, clocking in at a blistering 2h 16m 35s using the Mercenary class. This marks a significant milestone: it is the first time a new overall winner has emerged in the competitive history of Path of Exile 2, finally dethroning Angormus who held the previous record with a Warrior run.
The event showcased the raw efficiency of the Mercenary class, which dominated the final standings, though the competition across all eight available classes was fierce. These races aren't just about bragging rights; they provide vital data on class balance and movement tech that often shapes how the rest of us approach our seasonal builds. Seeing a Mercenary take the top spot suggests the class has incredible scaling potential for speed-clearing content.
The final results for the fastest times in each class category highlight the current competitive meta:
- Mercenary: 2h 16m 35s (GuyThatDies - Overall Winner)
- Warrior: Previously held record by Angormus
- Other Classes: Top times established for all 8 archetypes
As we get closer to more major updates, keep an eye on these speedrunners. Their ability to navigate the dangerous landscapes of Wraeclast so efficiently usually points toward the most OP mechanics available in the current patch.
