I didnt find any difference for RG on Normal today. If it was a bug, it is fixed now.
I still dont know how so many people reach this high level on GR in 2.2... Is it the paragon level that makes the difference so much?
More-so the 4-man dynamic of perma CC.
I'm talking about the solo leaderboards ...pretty wierd.
In that case, it could be a number of factors combined. High paragon, people that know what the heck they're doing, the use of illicit 3rd party programs etc. The way Blizz has let the integrity slip, it's hard to tell these days exactly who is, and who is not, using exploits and illicit programs.
I stay near the top of the leaderboards for my preferred classes (crus and monk), but that's in Non-Season HC, where there isn't nearly as much competition as on other boards, and I'd hate for anyone to assume I do anything but play the game as intended, as I most certainly do.
Well it's not like the riftguardians are the biggest problem of completing a rift, but ofcourse it helps a bit.
And thats the thing.
The biggest problem is to reach the guardian with enough time left. The guardian itself is gear and setup nothing else.
Yes, the hp on higher grifts is massvie, but if you have the right setup its not a problem to controll and nuke the guardian down.
The "crapy" grift before the guardian is the thing that counts at the moment.
Good luck for your "endgame" pushes until next week.
A fair point. My experience is that I often reach the RG with loads of time left, and I spend the rest chopping down that enormous health bar. There are those "crappy" Grifts, ones that betray you through bad geography (dead ends, though this has been cleaned up quite a bit), terrible enemy types (ranged, fast moving "runners" against your melee based char), and poor pylon placements, or near none at all.
I play HC, so my idea of a high Grift is different than others. This might explain some of the differences I have here.

I would say they most certainly are. Currently, we have to whack away at their incredibly large health bars for 3-5+ minutes (depending on the grift tier). Usually when I fail to complete a Grift on time, it's because I just couldn't DPS a RG fast enough.
I've never heard of this glitch. Certainly something they'll address if it's been brought to their attention.

I have no idea, but I saw it on the internet, so it must be true.
