I am from Europe so the acceptable ping for me is under 150ms only.
I have time this weekend (morning till night).
My character is a Lights Defender Elementalist lvl 100 (stun jacks/storm totem).
I bought some Courageus Tinctures (def ability from Homestead), Royal Jelly Ointments and RJ Essences.
Besides my usually auras I have also Inspiration celestial power (from harp devotion)
I have never went past wave 50 on challenger but completed aspirant several times. So you ll have to know what to do, more than me. (I think some bosses have to be killed asap when they spawn, like Anasteseria).
Im doing this for achievements & loot.
Again, this is hardcore only
