So with the special reward weekend that is currently happening I need help with what I should do...
My barbarian is only a piddly level 72 paragon and with my gear I am in that nebulous area between Master difficulty and Torment difficulty. I can do Torment 1 bounties and rifts without dying, but my dps is low to the point where a rift run can take 30+ minutes. A Master rift run takes me 10-15 minutes in comparison. Would I be better off blasting through Master rifts at this point and take the lower drop rate/no sets, or slogging my way through To rifts and hope for set pieces?
Also a question about etiquette. .. I commonly see clan mates running To rifts, but I hesitate to joins since I don't want to be a burden or slow them down.
When I started I had similar problem. I played master rifts solo until I didnt consider myself a burden to another group.
And in my pov, everyone should do this. Unless you have friends who dont care.
Also, its not like you jump into Torment and bam, torment only sets start to rain :)... and you get sets on master too btw.
But since you dont have some super gear, you dont need sets currently. Just legendaries that are straight upgrade to you. Aim for cc/cd/ias/ele dmg.
So for you, kill speed is what you should prefer.
That's what I was wondering, since I know T1 is TECHNICALLY better, but when you average 3-4 rifts in 2 hours, are you really benefitting from the increase?
For a T2 rift group would I be making their time more difficult or just not doing much damage?
When I have a class fresh to 70 I usually do a heap of split normal cache runs. Chance at a few good pieces from cache and a few legends here and there. Also you could use the Rift frags you get from this to rift it forward or offer to pay for the rift opening with your guild to offset your guilt because of slow dps.
p>s> remember it is also double rift frags dropping at the moment
My biggest problem that I have right now is that I'm such a low Paragon level. I have mostly been geared in legendaries or set pieces but my weapons are still not the best. I can solo T1s but groups would obviously make it faster. I tried earlier today with no takers, but I'll try again tonight.
When spending my key fragments for opening a rift for the group, is it still just the 5, or 5 for each person in the group?
Honestly I would join a Normal Act I bounty run group for split farming rift key fragments, with the 2.0.5 changes most folks are doing T1~T2 split farms but some Normals still go on...get yourself a bunch of key fragments and then join one of the Rift farm communities such as Rift it Forward or Rift Runz, jump into a rift and get the loot/xp from the guardian, open the rift for the runner rinse and repeat.
Push Shift + O once in game and search for the Bounty Runz, Rift Runz, and Rift it Forward communities.
