Hey guys, today I clear G62. Quite a few changes over the last tier. I crafted a Standoff and got rid of War Cry for Sprint/Marathon. I also dropped Relentless for Nerves of Steel. Now using all diamonds, Bane of the Stricken, and stacking physical resistance. As a result, this tier is total noob play as I try to adjust to the new rotations (keep missing Battle Rage and Sprint buffs). Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G61. No changes over the last tier but a nasty boss fight against Saxtris. I think I'll need to switch to full diamonds. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G60. From the last tier I swapped out a couple rubies for diamonds to help with the incoming damage. Clear time was almost 2 minutes faster, probably due to RNG and pylon placement. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G58. I managed to gamble cold-based Ancient Parthan Defenders so I swapped to those along with an Eye of Etlich, so those are the only changes. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today (about half a year later) I pick up where I left off with the Barb and clear G57. It's been over a year since I did anything with Raekor's and things have changed quite a bit. I don't have the ideal gear setup and I'm completely unfamiliar with the (newer) playstyle, so the next few tiers should be fun to say the least. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G56. No changes over the last tier, but it did take a long longer mainly due to the rift guardian fight and not having the '2 minute' gem (Bane of the Stricken). Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G55 with ease thanks to a solid rift map and mob type along with a conduit and power pylon for the guardian. Build and gear remain unchanged from the last tier. I will hit a wall in the 60's because this is non-seasonal so I don't have access to Bane of the Stricken, but we'll see how far we can push nonetheless. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G54, still using 6 Wrath/4 IK. Got some pretty good density/mob types. For this tier I went back to a more standard setup including Rend to proc Pain Enhancer and do a bit more damage. Roughly the same clear time. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I swap over to non-season for some fun on my Whirlwind Barb, which I haven't touched since the last patch. I clear G53 with a fun/experimental setup quite easily. 6 Wrath/4 IK was quite strong last patch and I'm going to push a few tiers with it here before switching to either BK/WW or Rend. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Is there anyone that would like to add me as a friend for 55+ keys?
I have completed 54 so far.

You mean to farm 55 keys? I've just been doing speed rifts with my clan and upgrading keys as I can along the way - I don't specifically farm for them.
@venom - this might be obvious, but keep in mind that the 'double benefit' of attack speed on weapons via Obsidian ring is season 3 only - so if you're playing non-seasons you may or may not want attack speed on weapons (vs. CDR or 10%). Obviously if you're using Obsidian then definitely go for attack speed because Obsidian turns attack speed into CDR basically.
Yeah, i see what you are saying but in the other hand is that with string you add %damage at both weapons and with ip you lose damage from weapons but you gain cooldown in order to use a little bit more often wotb.
I am a bit confused!
The overall damage output is likely the same over the course of the entire rift, but you also gain more mitigation (more IP uptime) and more CC immunity (more WOTB uptime). If/when I find my other Ancient BK weapon, I'm going to go the CDR route. I DEFINITELY want 100% IP uptime.
I have cleared a 53 with both setups wastes+ik and wastes+bk's.
The main question is for higher than 53 is it better with ignore pain with cooldown at weapons and as much as you can cooldown in order to have more time on the wotb skill or better use bk's weapons with damage% and string belt but in this way less time wotb skill on??? Which one do you think will get you further?
they have fixed the issue with the tornadoes now.
In my opinion (and I can't say for sure because I haven't cleared 53 (on time) with 6 Wrath/BK, but I would think getting either 100% uptime on IP + higher uptime on Wrath is better than String, since not every affix is considered melee (and some are melee but aren't reduced by %melee reduction).
And yes I saw they finally fixed nados. That was very annoying.

Dragons Are Us - shows up as Dragon in videos. Yes unfortunately it's full and I'm actually on the lower end of 'hardcore' players - most are P1000+.
