## Key Meta Observations
1. **Mage dominates speed records** — Holy Mage is fastest (811 turns DwD), all top 6 DwD records are mages
2. **1H Mage is competitive** but slower than pure mage
3. **1H Heavy melee** is the slowest endgame build (4579 turns DwD) but is tanky
4. **DW is faster than 1H** (1842 vs 1868 DwD for same player)
5. **Mages clear Grindfest in 5315-6520 turns** while 1H takes 12868
6. Meta gear: Feather+Aether charms, Radiant phase for mages, Power Slaughter for melee
