Just wondering what you other pet docs are achieving. I have tested all gear and spec that I have access too and I am only able to attain GR 32. I might get 33 if I keep trying and get lucky but 32 is my max currently. I believe without SMK this is the cap. Link to my profile below. Any of you done better?
I just cleared 33 in 10 minutes. This was much better then my DOD or Sun Keeper builds. I did it with a Rheno Flayer. I am pretty sure I can clear 34 but havent tried yet. Link to my build below.

Carnevil DoD is GR38 and Rhen'ho MoJ is GR 37, iirc
SMK MoJ got up to GR 39 or GR 40, so 2~3 Gr levels for getting a SMK.
SMK Tiklandian is at GR 43 max

I run a DOD, carnevil, with zunni, blackthorn, and Aughids. Do lvl 30 grifts OK. But any higher isn't fun anymore personally.
