The first Descent race took place tonight. It was certainly different. It's much more prone to RNG since there's no vendors. Sure you get more currency to roll your items, but if you don't score a good item or two in the start the pace is going to be VERY slow. I was fortunate and found/rolled some very good bow gear for my Ranger, and thus was able to get to a respectable level of 15.
I'll certainly be playing future races of Descent, but it's not the most exciting game mode I've played.
*edit - seems like Duelist was the race to pick. 90% of the top racers picked it and were able to get to 20+. Cleave + Double strike and you can use most rares that drop, makes sense.
