Currently running a standard Cold Cluster with Etrayu + Hexing. Using Travelers + Compass for some awesome looking CHC/CHD(50/560) numbers.
Options of Weapon : Aracane Barb / Etrayu / Calamity (all ancient + gift)
Ring : SoJ (Cold/Phys) / Unity (CHD/Cooldown+Socket, no main)
Amulet : Haunt Of Vaxo. Other comparable ones are current Travelers and a lightning Etlich/Blackthornes.
No available Prides Fall yet, and I like the stutter step of Hexing.
I have not spent much time on solo grifts since before 2.1.2, ancients and the marauder change. I managed a 40 back then to get onto leaderboard and have just left it since then.
Ran a few solo grifts during PTR and was doing 44s with ease, with the broken promises + SoJ and running Phys CA. 1 or 2 deaths a grift without the unity.
Just a general thing: For gear and item questions, you should consult this thread, which specifically deals with those. We don't have to revive this topic all the time for stuff like that, I'd rather do so for discussion and updates.
While I'm on it, I will quickly go over your questions anyway:
@Genotoxic: Elenara is right, area damage > ias
@Ninjatsu: Neat compass rose, it's only used for trials though. Try to gamble for SoJ's (cold / phys / fire) so that you can choose for whatever you are doing. Your weapon choice depends on your rolls, if they are all gg you could try running with the Calamity, but you should consider farming a Pride's Fall. Otherwise stick to Etrayu.
Nice zombie rift but nothing out of the ordinary, before this run I had used 31 tier 52 keys with a few close calls, after which I decided to just run with my leftover 51s, which all were really close and my fifth run finally was good enough. Items are shown at the end. My seasonal character is actually stronger than my nonseasonal character already for those wondering, gems are just 1-2 ranks behind but with all the additional Dexteritiy and the op SoJ I can definitely go higher.
I died once at the very end just before spawning the RG because I had enganged an elite pack that I wasn't aware of while killing another one, other than that I think it was a pretty flawless run. I even got a power pylon in a good spot near the end but unfortunately had to use it on a nasty pack.
Really looking forward to push 52 + 53 (also on nonseason, already stacking up keys), and 49-50 on hardcore =)
Definitely one of my best runs in one of the best rifts imaginable. I've edited in some epic music this time, hope you like it =) Used about 70 keys (vs. ~20 and ~30 for my previous two clears), got 4 very close calls before that and no rifts where I could attribute failing the timer to my own mistakes, rather just RNG and general lack of dps. This was the first unburied rift I got on this character. It was a very intense run, as I quickly realized that this would be the rift and I just went for it with my heart pumping like crazy, pushing like never before. For the rest, see the descirption on YT.
@Sakasen: I have made a video about Taeguk + Kridershot, you can find it on my channel. Personally, if I had a perfect Kridershot, I'd try to make cold work with spitfire turrets because of the problems you mentioned. Hexing Pants is superior to Pride's for that, as can be seen in the calculations. Burst damage usually is not important in tier 50+. Also, my calculations do not assume that you always hit, accuracy loss is factored in.
Wow. What an intense run - "dream rift" in terms of mob type, but that were some bad elite affixes and a million close calls. But doesn't it itch you to be one level below this magic number 50? If you think you won't do any HC anymore, why not go "full yolo" on some 50 attempts? ;-)

Congratz, and awesome editing. Amazing video!
Glad you enjoyed it, it's true that it's itching a little, especially because my original intention was to clear tier 50 back at the beginning of season 2. However, seeing Baklanofskii clearing it with a Unity and quite some toughness equipped, including close to rank 60 gems, really took away my motivation a little. I might try to do it in the upcoming week, but it's also difficult to actually find people for those trial keys on hc. We'll see.
World Rank 1 DH - Tier 53 solo
Tier 53 =)
The RNG was kind with me - I farmed 122 keys and expected to not even get one doable rift - until I cleared it on my 8th try. WTS 114x53 keys!
At the time of the clear, there were two other clears on 53 and until the upload of this video one DH has actually managed to beat 54. Still, I'm very happy that I could clear 53 and I will try my luck in 54 until the end of the season as well. I'm starting to feel bad that it's always the same monster type and map layout on my successful runs =)
4 days to beat 54 - 14:28. I guess my hardcore aspirations are finally stifled now
Congrats on that run, it was INSANE. Was getting freaked out with the Jailer Waller combo there, really crazy.
If you had a bad RG like Leoric, would you have quit the rift?
I would still have completed it for gem upgrades, Leoric could actually be beaten in a Hell Rift on 49. Saxtris, Bone Warlock and Orlash would have certainly failed it.
For the 5th passive what do you think is best? I have a nice hellfire amulet so currently i'm using steady aim as my fifth passive but could something else be better?

Over time, I have realized that Night Stalker is the best 5th passive to use, even for crossbows. Becomes even better for faster weapons. Steady Aim and Single Out are still useful, but lack behind a little bit.
And in general, with season 2 being over and season 3 just over the horizon, I think it's time to put this build and thread finally to rest. All the information you might want to have is in here somewhere (mostly first post), and the new builds will be better than this anyway. Last night I paid my last respects to the physical build and season 2 by completing my last 54 key no matter what, and it was a horrible rift that took more than 30 min, but I just did it nevertheless. Fun times, see you in season 3!
def. those with area dmg.
Hi guys,
Hope some of you can help/recommend as I have a few items combos I could use.

I got an Ancient bow with good damage, Dex, Vit and a socket, I'm rerolling the socket, but I don't know what I should take, 10% RCR or 10% damage?

Kind of reviving this thread a little, but I guess it's still worth watching:
