Been playing since Diablo i, first time on the forum since DII. Currently doing Neph runs at T5, taking about 6 min. Great Rift takes about 8-10 min on T7. Not sure if I am missing anything about drops etc... seems that T6 is the goal for fast runs, but wanted to get a take on where folks are at for T8&9 runs. I tend to max out mid T8...worth me pushing forward, or not worth the risk? Appreciate the input for an old guy who still loves this game.
You're doing it right if you're playing what you enjoy. To spice it up I would suggest that you try push for as highest greater rift level you can manage and also aim to clear torment 10 rifts in under 3 minutes.
If you're playing hardcore then be cautious, it's risky to push and if you die you lose everything your character and its followers have equipped. However, if you're playing softcore then you can risk as much as you want since you don't die permanently. Try stuff!

T10 rift in 3 minute can be quite a challenge actually, I can do GR 60-65 in around 3-4 min withouth issue at all on my DH, yet for some reason whenever i get into T10 rift, take me around 5-7 min to clear 'em out :\ density usually sucks big time, and with some maps it's even worse, sure if you get the right map, i'll clear in it under 2 min, but these maps are damn rare it's almost a miracle when they appear
Don't have a source for it but I remember reading somewhere, d3reddit I believe, that normal rifts have a longer progression timer than greater rifts do. Which given my own personal experience seems to be true. running flashfire on my wizard I can clear a normal rift anywhere from >3 minutes all the way up to 8 depending on crap density and all. Greater rifts seem to be a consistent 5-7 minutes around tier 60-65. I do feel like running normals I have to kill way more elites to get the RG to spawn in a normal.
Great feedback, thank you! I'm using a fire sorc (forgive the Dii terminology), but maybe I'll move to my Demon Hunter for speed. Appreciate the advice. No idea t10 could be done so fast!!! Nuts.

The "goal" is to be able to do T10 runs in less than 3 mins,then reach the highest Greater as possible.
Its always worth going farther,and there is no risk period no matter what mode you play since you can always get what was lost back.
