huge fan of kyoshiro's soul in the push variant just because i cant bother with maintaining stacks manually, but idd, witching hour is miles better for dps.
They changed it so you don't loose stacks anymore. Hit any enemy and it'll reset, and with no enemies just activate sweeping wind again. But seriously, even if you loose the 10 stacks, building them back up is so fast - as you don't need to wait a full second without being attacked just to gain a stack. Hit multiple enemies with Crippling Wave and the stacks just come right back.
They should have never used random builds from random people. This should have been more thought out - it should have been specific dev builds that had specific synergy (so it doesn't have to be meta builds, but builds that worked if it was thought out) and the time completed should have be a set time. It should have all been planned out and not random.
The Devs should have made the challenge, not just pick some random crap build that may or may not work. It should have been fun to play with. The devs should have made a build that other players may have not used or had a synergy that most people didn't see.
With the huge buff to the Vyr set, gaining stacks is easy and builds up your attack and toughness by a huge amount. I decided to not use Halo or Arlyse and decided to keep Manald Heal and kept Paralysis in the passive abilities. And changed Frost Nova to Black Hole Spellsteal.
So is this viable to keep Manald heal with the 6 piece Vyr set now?
With subpar gear I was already past my highest GR with TalRasha Archon.
But yes, classes do work together - usually a main DPS character to deal out damage - sometimes 2, one for the Rift Guardian other for the mobs. And then you'll have support characters to keep the DPS guys alive.
So WD, Wizards, Necros and DH have been main DPS.
Barbs, Monk, Necros, and Crusaders have been supports.
Without Aether walker - I'd drop Teleport and go with Black Hole. I'd then switch Frost Nova with Blizzard - Frozen Solid and then maybe swap out Nemesis Bracer with Ancient Parthan Defenders or Ashnagarr's Blood Bracer. Mind you - the black hole set up is very slow as in you're not teleporting everywhere. Hence why you need Blizzard to freeze all the enemies so you can get around them and then cast black hole once archon is ready to capitalize on the Spellsteal rune.
If you want to use Teleport - I'd then go with Aether Walker and In-Geom combo. And still stick with Nemesis Bracers and the rest of your current ability setup. This setup is great for Speedruns.
Is this happening on single targets? I've noticed it's hard to target single enemies and just skip them to find bigger mobs. And dealing with just one enemy - as in the Rift Guardian, the Bane of the Stricken gem is a must.
What is your attack speed? You need all the stacks of gogok and vyr 4 piece set to get all the attack speed you can get. Try aim for around 2.0 attack speed i buffed and close to 5 with all the buffs. Higher attack speeds will proc manald heal more often.
Also, you do know the huge damage comes directly after popping into Archon for 8 seconds while the Tal Rasha is active. The rest of the Archon time is just base damage (whatever Archon stacks you have) and whatever Manald Heal deals out. Another good reason to have Zei's gem socketed for more damage.
Thats why the hydras come into play as you now have three sources to proc Manald Heal.
Or to the most extreme you have the COE version which has all the stacks of Archon, COE, Tal Rasha, and Black hole overlapping for those 8 seconds.
Its a bit of cheating. But since you are ok console. Just go to nonseason Tier XIII and try to find the modders. They'll have them all for trade. Ask around and sometimes you can even get ones that haven't been released yet.
With that many hours into the game, you should have some pretty decent gear or at least some in your stash. I'd recommend looking up guides so you can see what sets to use. Even with bad gear but at least with a complete set you should be able to clear higher GR's than 35 solo.
Because if you don't know how to play that build and just use whatever gear, a group can only take you so far.

So played a little bit last night.
With the huge buff to the Vyr set, gaining stacks is easy and builds up your attack and toughness by a huge amount. I decided to not use Halo or Arlyse and decided to keep Manald Heal and kept Paralysis in the passive abilities. And changed Frost Nova to Black Hole Spellsteal.

Power creep on this patch is crazy!
Even with all the same gear, paragon, etc. etc. i'm going at least 10 GR higher!

Go to consoles then?
All mine were updated and no need to farm the same items.

I wouldn't say combo as in it becomes a new move.
But yes, classes do work together - usually a main DPS character to deal out damage - sometimes 2, one for the Rift Guardian other for the mobs. And then you'll have support characters to keep the DPS guys alive.
So WD, Wizards, Necros and DH have been main DPS.
Barbs, Monk, Necros, and Crusaders have been supports.
But you can make any character a DPS or Support.
