Nice. With my luck of course, I'm gonna go into a grift with it and get shit on and lose it rofl.
Personally I only played Uliana's until I got a pair of shenlongs because I thought U6 playstyle is boring and I just happened to gear it first. But when you break down any build to it's core it can sound bad because this game is built off repetitive gameplay.
For example with U6, waiting 2 seconds to wait 2 seconds isn't fun to me, and even though the explosive payoff is amazing in a large group, it takes longer and longer the higher you are and I get bored in the interim.
So I only read about the ICD for how stricken updates last night. Apparently it updates on death/potion/zone and it's 1/(sheet aps)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/3k30ej/an_indepth_guide_to_bane_of_the_stricken/
Also looking through those comments, apparently I was working on ptr information that didn't make it to live when I thought stricken stacks worked for the group, so I guess I'm dropping that gem off my heal monk.
Yeah, so for Wizard it is pretty easy to snapshot it in Archon form.
For Barbs, apparently you snapshot it after ww into a bunch of mobs with pain enhancer proccing.
I wonder how much of a difference this makes.
It's massive
Yes, that's why people don't use it as a potion anymore.
I just had a weird thing happen. I finished a GR with 0 minutes and 0 seconds remaining and the game didn't know what to do.
It counted as complete and I got the congratulatory speech from what's her name. But then it wouldnt let me upgrade gems. And since you can't turn in a complete rift until you deal with your gems, I couldn't turn it in in town and just had to exit the game. Never seen that before.

Probably a precision mismatch between their systems. That's pretty hilarious.
I hope it's something simpler like someone checking if remainingTime > 0 instead of >=
Not a new bug, there's folks who had it happen before. Cutting it extremely close on Grifts may result in a inability to upgrade gems. As for reasons, Blizz is mum on it.
If anything, Eek might have it right -_- . Unfortunate in any case, but nothing for it. Rinse and repeat.
I'd say that's it. Different conditions in different parts of the code (or rounding vs truncating).

Saw it happen with one of Alk's streams when he took the number 1 spot. Got the spot on the boards, couldn't do gems.

Level up your bane of the trapped and pain enhancer, get a good convention of elements, and ancients of your set items?
Congrats! I'm up to GR50 on my lagtooth doc, might be able to push it higher but after losing my pretty well geared carndoc last week I'm scared, want a furnace first...
Yea I finally picked up a furnace last night, makes suh a big difference. Can't decide if I like HotA or SS better for now though. I wanna try a rend build too when I push a bit higher.
That's way too meta for me.
I would at least want that 1% chance to upgrade gems and the loot at the end. It doesn't even take that long to kill bosses these days.
Dumped a ton of offense for defense and somehow broke my record on 64 by 3 minutes this morning.
Swapped out a perfect witching hour for string of ears, radiance rune for blinding speed, and exalted soul for guardians path. I did upgrade some damage because I found a 30% eye of the storm, but no crit because I had to roll for a socket, so I lost 6% crit from helm and 7% ias from the lacunis I had on for it.
Definitely a lot of potential to get higher since I'm also wearing non-ancient fist of legend for both LoH and cdr.
Definitely need density to make the build work its best. It's big enough that I've been leaving the last 5-6 mobs of a pack alone unless they are near 1% hp and give lots like phase beasts and fatties.

It's a bit faster than that since you can focus on full damage for trash (e.g. no Furnace, etc.).
Here's a good link.
It is a pretty tough pill to swallow though with only xp gains awarded.
Going to be tough to find a party for that. You need to be pretty well geared, to the point where no drops really matter for you and the only upgrades are paragon points. I'm not at that point yet so I'd rather run 60-65's with loot than run 66-70 without loot.
Crazy. Not sure wha tI'm doing wrong because I can't pass 60 :\
Probably just technique. I can record a clear this weekend if you want to watch what I do.
Uhh, unless you guys are para 1000+ with near perfect gear and your only improvement is going to be paragons don't do that.
Yeah that's probably it. I'm struggling hard on GR66's with WD too. I think I just don't have enough experience building density since I never really ran GRs before this season.
Also I'm crazy bad at this game
Yeah. Seems like a waste of time and effort.
Are you not using Halo of Aryse + Unity + Obsidian? Not sure why I see Compass Rose on there.
Where are you stuck, in progression or just in what to upgrade?
Upgrade pointers:
Overall you should focus most of your life per hit on your weapon and ignore it in every other slot. You're trying to make up for it in other slots since you don't have it on your weapon, but look at the range it rolls on your weapon. It's a wasted stat in other slots in comparison.
Amulet - This needs to be Hellfire or Mara's or something like a good Elitch. Also need CC+CHD+Socket bare minimum. ATK SPD isn't really useful here.
Gloves - Life per hit isn't good here. Either get vit or get CDR. Vit for high GR push.
Belt - Get one with 20 stacks modifier.
Boots - Get one with Arcane Torrent dmg instead of movespeed. Not as critical.
Bracers - Element + cc + int + vit.
Source - Ancient is a requirement, not a recommendation.
Chest - Vit is necessary here. Probably armor as well (or potentially elite dmg reduction).
Shoulders - Probably want either CDR or +Life% rather than both res and armor.
Basically you have the pieces but they're mostly horribly rolled. Yes, you need to go for ancients as well. Start with Helm+Chest then go from there (boots, shoulders, pants).
Try using Blizzard Snowbound instead of Frost Nova. Two forms of CC is usually a little unnecessary. Snowbound + Arcane Torrent will help you build up your Chantodo's stacks higher before you go into Archon form.
Here's a look at my wizard that cleared GR56. I didn't have the hellfire amulet in that run.

I've mostly given up on the gear at this point, but you can see which stats I'm prioritizing. It's not really enough just to have the pieces, you have to have the rolls too.
I'd also recommend re-arranging your skills based on what buttons you mash in Archon form. E.g. put Archon on 1 (same key as explosive blast) and something with a cooldown on 3. This will make it so that you don't burn unnecessary AP when you come out of Archon form before realizing it.
delrasha is actually too much fun
Yeah trying to get that instead so many slow time bubbles and the damage is pretty cool.

Is there a consensus on best potions per class?
Like 20 grifts
I think all I need now are the jewelry items of the build and to level up the gems a bit more.Finish your zdps monk and it'll go fast
I can barely solo 50. I only run three classes per season and last season was Cru, Barb, and WD, and this season is Cru, Monk, and Wizard. (Which by the way having awesome fun with all three.)Like 20 grifts
I always like to run...
Crusader - Rejuvenation
Barbarian - Diamond
Demon Hunter - Fear
Wizard - Tower
Monk - Diamond
Witch Doctor - Fear
when you get slow time bubbles and meteors on top
Can you show your build? I want to know i need it!

Need CDR and LoH homie
CDR on that one since you can't roll LoH
I might do CDR since I'm not using Leoric's right now but I'll play around with it since it's the 3rd option.
