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.

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?

Most of it's already been said here, but here's my take for what it's worth:

-- Toughness. Your damage actually isn't *that bad*, but it won't make a difference as you push into the high 30s and absolutely everything is killing you instantly. There are a number of places you can improve, notably: String of Ears, better Shoulder rolls, %Life in Helm, Armor on Boots instead of Movement Speed (get from Paragon), elemental immunity or Eye of Etlich neck, %ranged or %melee reduction on chest secondary.

-- Weapon/Build. As I said before, your damage isn't bad -- it's just being misused. Double Blazing Hydra build requires a lot of very good gear (notably including Tasker & Theo which is lacking) and while it is capable of getting roughly as high as Furnace/Sun Keeper builds it is generally more frantic / less forgiving. Serpent Sparker can actually be serviceable with two Mammoth Hydras if you don't have a Furnace or Sun Keeper kicking around you could use instead. Teleport will better serve you as Safe Passage and Mirror Image should get swapped out for Magic Weapon - Force Weapon. The images right now are a crutch for you because you don't have the toughness to survive without. Once you solve #1, swap these skills.

-- Templar. You mentioned not being able to go Templar due to not having the immunity relic. As soon as you can, go Templar, give him every skill that snares (esp. Intimidation), and stick him with that Thunderfury, Freeze of Deflection, Ess of Johan, etc. Bring in Bane of the Trapped to go with your Zei's and Toxin or Powerful gems. World of difference.

-- Damage. Again, not bad, but couple areas with big potential gain - SoJ, 10 crit on source, weapon damage ranges (base because of weapon speed of Serpent Sparker and the low elemental damage roll).

I am also stuck at 35. I pulled up your profile and copied your build. It seems using glass cannon is a good dps increase. I clear the rift no problem but the last buss takes forever to kill. This is where I have been failing the 36. Can you make any recommendations on my gear? It looks as we have almost identical but your damage is much higher than mine. I'm not sure where that is coming from. A link to my profile.

Does your beefy ring have a socket on it? If its CC/CHD/Int and socket I would use it in place of your SOJ. That SOJ is pretty bad. Cindercoat and Magefirst are equals so I would use whichever has the best rolls. If you go magefist you can run firebird chest with blizzard damage but the AP reductions is nice on Cindercoat. Cindercoat for sure for T6 speed rift clearing. Be on the lookout for Maximus, Sunkeeper, Furnace.

I did some testing the last couple days. I tested both weapon setups in Trial, Greater Rift, Rift clears and Ghom kills. I found Trials, Rifts and Greater rifts to have inconsistent results due to the random type of mobs spawning. Both weapon setups were equal here. When killing Ghom I removed my Zei's stone and looked only at firebird dot tick. Both weapon setups were nearly identical. I then timed myself with a stopwatch on my phone and with both weapon setups without zei's stone Ghom takes 30 seconds to die. I tested with my stop watch several times. I can't find any conclusive evidence that one weapon is better than the other.

I also did not notice any improvement in damage with Cindercoat vs magefist. Cindercoat clearly has more mana regen but using magefist allows an extra stat on chest like Blizzard damage.

I went with Sunkeeper, Firebird OH and Magefist. I am using an SOJ and CC/CHD ring. I chose Sunkeeper setup only for the increased toughness. I chose Magefist over cindercoat.

I can't decide which is best. While still waiting for SOJ, Unity and Furnace.

1. Maximus, Royal Ring, Cindercoat

2. Maximus, Royal Ring, Magefist

3. Maximus, Firebird chest, Firebirds Gloves, CC/CHD rings

4. Sunkeeper, Cindercoat, CC/CHD rings

5. Sunkeeper, Magefist, CC/CHD rings



What are you guys running? Thanks.

I have all those gems on my witch doctor I can move over. Take a look here and also should I be using my witch doctors amulet?

Currently DUO with a crusader. G-Rift 33. We cant pass 34. I need to optimize my build but I am not sure how to do that. Can you look at me and make suggestions? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

looked through the top 10 solo runs in EU, none used a Kridershot, 2 had Etyue. Assuming they didn't change their gear.

I seen that too but I can't figure out how or why. I found one of those cube things, rerolled my socket to an extra stat and then used the cube item to add another socket. My Kridershot is amazing. I have tried other weapons and don't like them as much. I can only assume if you are using a Etyue with elemental arrow you are relying on your sentry's to do all the work.

How are you guys usingEtrayu with Elemental Arrow? I tried it and it didn't work for me. I much prefer the Kridershot so I can spam cluster arrow. I am clearing T6 rift's solo no problem and currently 30 GR.

Brand new DH here. Looking for info on rerolls that might help me out. Also check skills and make sure there not retarded. Still working on 6pc. Thanks for any help.

Need help with gearing and skills. Here is my current setup:http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/chevmaro-1655/Nitro/51202171

I know I need Maurader's that has been hard to come by. My skills got confusing when I equipped the Kridershot. Any easy gear upgrades, rerolls and skill build update advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
