I followed Quin69's original U6 template for season 4 (I'm aware of the leaderboard change to CoE, but don't have the CHC for that yet).
I can clear a GR58 with time to spare. In GR59, it seems that not only do I fail, it takes me like 23 minutes. I generally skip yellow packs, and try to kill blues if there's density. I'm generally not dying unless I screw up in a GR59, so toughness seems ok. I've cleared a GR65 in a 4-man group, and that went ok and I felt that I was contributing.
Am I missing something fundamental on my gear? I have all ancient gear now -- is it just that I had lousy ancient gear?
Is it just RNG in the GR so that I'm getting low density and need to fish for better?
With the gear you have (dual ancient weapons) you should be able to clear G60 with a more standard setup (either unity or coe in cube, cc on gear) easily. I'm working on 58 with non ancient weapons right now, and I haven't even thrown in coe yet.
I too am having some issues, I've had horrible luck getting better uliana's though. With what I have I've cleared GR55 and missed a GR56 by 2 seconds. I can consistently clear GR55, but cannot get any further. I have also had bad luck with HF.
I don't know what the COE build trade off is in terms of +crit chance vs. BP, but it looks to me like you're on the right path. The CHC tweak above got me to GR60.
You might be a little short on CDR. You could have CDR on both your rings. I don't know if there's a point of diminishing returns on CDR, though -- particularly with COE.
Maybe a hellfire amulet, since you're not getting a set bonus out of your Sunwuko.
Check your paragon to make sure you account for the +12% on the boots vs. the 25% cap.
Thanks Soul, I did a bunch of HF farming lady night and got about 12 rings, 2 legendaries but the passives sucked. So I'm using one for now, missed a 56 by about 45 secs last night. I'm hoping to get a better HF and better stats on a restraint and focus soon, plus some ancient pieces of U6.
Just hit 60 with my U6 monk today and finished the whole season journey. This thread inspired me to push through the last bit, get a good rift, and win. I got my barb (HOTA) and monk (U6) to GR58 and kept getting stuck and frustrated. Fianlly committed to U6 since I like the playstyle and got a win!
Woot!

(the profile shows madstone in the cube, but I push GR with spirit guards)
I'd appreciate any ideas for improvement.
Thanks, Gromal!

I was able to swap some gear around and implement some of the changes you suggested.
I gave up some ancient pieces, and sheet dps went down.
But I added CHD on gloves, rings, and neck, bringing CHD to 602%.
I cleared a GR59 right away. Failed a GR60 on the next try. But the GR60 after that was wonderful, and I cleared with 1 minute to spare.
Your suggestions were very helpful! The extra CHD made a big difference.
