This is basically my experience. Vyr's is loads of fun but I don't do much in big groups because I just can't do enough in Archon form to justify the time I need to spend out of it building Chantodo's stacks. On a big open map where I can split off and do my own thing I do fine, but for linear maps I end up just teleporting behind the monks and barbs.
I've just started with Del Rasha after getting a great ancient Aether Walker. It's probably not as fast solo but it can at least keep up with everyone else in groups and can fire-and-forget very strong meteor showers and slow times. I'd really like to fit in a fourth element, but you've pretty much got to double down on arcane with Teleport and Slow Time.

anything beats the jar of souls or free the prisoners when they don't even appear at ALL
yesterday I reset Act 1 twice and still never finished the bounties....
Delsere Slow Time's Dot's element is your highest elemental damage.
So if your highest is Lightning, the Slow Time will do Lightning damage and proc that Talrasha buff. Most del rasha builds only have their bracers with elemental damage so its easy to control which elemental you have for slow time. My Wiz is using atm
MM:Glacial Spike - Cold
Meteor Shower - Fire
Slow Time - Lightning
Teleport - Calamity - Arcane

you can't put a price on sparks
clear level 2 of the barracks is the worst bounty ever.
there was one in act iv where the quest objectives were so far away from each other, that one almost was worse

Oh. I didn't realize Slow Time changed its element. That makes things easier.
I like Energy Twister + Ranslor's Folly better than Meteor, but YMMV.
I don't have an ancient AW yet so I'm using an ancient GoO + cubed AW. It's a bit weaker since I can't use a cubed furnace, but you just have to switch focus to trash packs.
That has more utility but you lose alot of damage compared to Meteor Shower. Especially because of Nilfur's Boast, which is a standard for Delrasha, and I would imagine have problems with killing RGs in high level solo Grifts.
Might work for parties without a support monk to cyclone stuff.
RG's are pretty easy with Bane of the Stricken.
Huh, interesting build. I assume you're using magic weapon/force armour in the last 2 spots instead? What bracers do you use since you probably don't need strongarms/APDs to synergize with black hole?
Right now I just use my best Reapers Wraps, but the final build has Ancient Parthan Bracers for the damage reduction when slow time or teleport:calamity stuns something, which is pretty often, even with the CC immunity nerfs.
And yes the final two slots are magic Weapon and Force armor
I've recently got the full 6 bonus set of the Talrasha set(and gotten ridiculously OP with it) and been wondering if Magic Weapon is better used with the Electrify rune than the Force Weapon one? By using Electrify, I could choose a fire primary instead of a lighting one, since i have a 34% increase on that and could focus more on using my fire Disintegrate rather than casting a lightning spell once in a while for the meteors and extra damage stack. Is that 10% damage sacrifice for Magic Weapon worth it for that?
I'm pretty sure Electrify doesn't get you a Tal Rasha stack. It only calls a meteor.
If you're using AW+Calamity I like using Magic Weapon with Conduit.Hm, you're right. Ah, sucks.
Check out Malakai's guide:

Frankenstein.
It uses Born, Cain and Inna's with Crudest Boots, Leoric's Ring, Leoric's Crown, Stormshield, RorG, Obsidian Ring and Strongarm Bracers. There are are some flex spots in there of course.
Most important component of the build are the skill Mantra of Healing and Gizzard legendary gem. The rest of the build maximizes EXP gain, defense and CDR.

Using Furious Charge to keep F/R going is the best, as it hardly intierrupts your play which would leave you vulnerable. Since Furious Charge got it's animation end lag reduced some patches ago it's really good in that regard. Hardly even causes you to stop spinning and while you're in the charging movement you are pushing back enemies and are likely not taking much damage either.

I haven't played a Demon Hunter in years, but I'll definitely try out a melee one next patch.

That Demon Hunter set sounds really dumb but very fun at the same time, I remember trying an impale oriented build for a short period last season but it obviously didn't work out because it's garbage.
Ah yeah, that set is for speed running stuff, it's not the GR setup or anything (which is far tankier). I use basically the same build for farming bounties though I tend to toss on boon of the hoarder as well (for the move speed).
Yeah this is what's up. F/R is really dangerous for high end WW builds since you are dropping an insane amount of damage reduction (50% from unity and then 40% any time you stop WWing to proc F/R). It's not impossible to use, but, you give up a lot doing it. All of the high ranked WW barbs on the leaderboard just rock CoE/Obsidian/Unity.

Tried that. There were exactly 0 people active when I was searching for groups. So I started doing them solo. Act 1.... covered the entire map, finally found him, no drop.
Act 2.... covered the entire map but never found him. Closed the game. Just can't do it. Besides, I only have about 150 souls left after my first 35 failed attempts. That's not nearly enough....
The WW builds are hilarious and effective, great survivability with Taeguk + Unity, but they suck solo because they are only efficient at trash clearing. If you don't get a good rift comp, you spin your wheels and get nowhere. They also depend very highly on getting outstanding gear. HotA is more forgiving in both departments.
legs dont stack with their cube versions.
does the cubed version take precedent?
I think it uses which ever has highest variable value(for the legs that it would apply to), otherwise i dont know.

The Vyr set is like the definition of efficient but unfun to play. You are basically forced to rush through everything or you are fucked if you can't keep your Archon cooldown up, plus it's harder to build since all the pieces are essential, it just doesn't work without any of the core pieces. Delrasha despite being less powerful feels way more comfortable.
Your equipped one takes priority, even if it rolls a lower value.

How big is the damage ?
I would say that this Season wasn't clean already because of the Monk regen shenanigans. The whole group play of S4 has been a joke to be honest (even more than usual).
Blizzard can easily check ammy exploiters just by checking characters with active passive > 5. Unless they can't check the number of active passives on a character.
Using combination of legendaries and skills are not clean?
lol

Sounds legit.
Depends how good their tools are. The problem is I don't think active passives is snapshotted on the leaderboard so they could've set the time then put their passives back to normal and probably won't ever be detected. Whoops.
Some seasonal exclusive items are amazing. Like Lion's Claw and bane of the stricken.
My friends who just started in playing Diablo in RoS are fine with it anyway.

Opened 8 goblin portals and got this just now... did I beat the game?

A Shining Example
I reached Guardian for the season journey yesterday and in the same GR40 that I did for the conquest, "The Thrill", I found an ancient lion's claw (after I kid you not 30+ non-ancients) with a close to max damage roll and area damage. Yay!
Well I think the better question is how can it take anyone more than a day or two to gear up on non-seasons even as a casual player (assuming you aren't a brand new player.) There was jack shit to do with crafting mats until 2.3 so if you've been playing even a little over the past year and a half you should have stupid amounts sitting in your stash unless you just chose to not pick them up all this time. When 2.3 came out I logged onto my Monk, who just to give you an idea of how old she was, was wearing Raiment with a Jawbreaker. I just cubed some shit and was ready to go in less than 10 minutes. It's only sillier when you consider that the best sets for a lot of classes right now are sets that have been in the game from the start. My Wiz and WD already had Rasha/Zuni sitting in their stash because why wouldn't they? I had all that crap before seasons, GRs, etc. were even a thing.
I just have a hard time believing it takes more than a couple of days to gear up to the current endgame builds on non-seasons even as a casual player, with the exception of brand new players of course.
