I need some 53-56 grift keys. What setup is best for farming trials solo for high grift keys?
I personally am able to farm those solo with the same spec as you should use for the high GRs. 53/54 is my average i sometimes can get a 55/56 which are the only keys i need though. Anything below 55 is worthless
Oh hey Jello, I used to raid with you and Hazzy in SHO!
Anyways sorry for the delay, my internet is trash so upload took awhile.
This is via all solo play. No team rifts, no carries, no clan mates helping. I enjoy solo play, so all gear, Paragon level and rifts are strictly done by myself. I was hanging around the top 10 barb ladder around the third week with GR54 cleared, but just haven't given a shit enough to pursue it higher since I can't get an ancient BK solemn vow to drop. Probably out of the top 100 by now.
Armory won't update so I provided a link to my exact gear.
As you might notice my BK offhand is pretty garbage. I'm sure with an ancient one there would get way more consistency. I use reaper wraps over lacunis/steadystrikers as I don't have a good pair of either. I don't really pay attention to the IAS breakpoints tbh.
I've tried multiple setups and Physical pulls ahead each time. Cold works for 52/53 keys with the occasional 54.
My Hellfire ammy has Nerves of Steel which isn't bad, but it's not completely necessary. It just saves me from deaths sometimes which can push me to the next wave.
The idea is to push to Wave 52/53 without using WotB and then on the next wave, pop all CDs and just burn the mobs down. F/R buffs should be maintained. Furious Charge into a clump of mobs as long as it's safe. I don't like using Bash/Punish as a fury generator as it tends to get me killed alot more. You have to keep them close if possible to proc the Brawler passive. Try to have a health globe available to keep your fury at max via reaper wraps so you can proc the Berserker Rage passive.
You can do 2x waves while WotB is up and that should push you to wave 58/59. You're kind of screwed if you get Exorcists beyond wave 52 as they do ridiculous damage. The spinning guys are annoying as well, but doable.
Sample size: 14 trial keys used
49 x 1
50 x 1
52 x 1
53 x 3
54 x 3
55 x 3
56 x 2
So if you're looking for 55+, that provided me with roughly a 35% clear rate. Overall though it's just better grouping up in a 4 man to get carried.

53-57 is doable solo with a barb, you need very good gear though.
I have such gear and I dunno how. Maybe I just need a lot more paragon levels.

Here's a 56 cleared solo.

Honestly the best way to get 53-56 keys is to do 43-46 speed gr's.
