Greater Rift advice:

Elites: I have mentioned it in the video but would like to repeat it again here. If there is an elite without any trash on 90+ then it is better to skip it simply because the mobs have so much HP that you need trash for AREA DAMAGE % to work at it's best thus providing you with more of a punch against elites. Fighting elites on your own without trash will take a lot of time and every second is precious when you want to complete the rift.

Rift and Density:

In terms of the rift I would suggest big open maps and mobs that you can stack with Pirahnado. Open maps provide you with a bigger pull to kill more monsters by utilizing AREA DAMAGE % in your items. Gargantuas are solely for single target thus you need to cast your Pirahnado a lot to get the biggest effect of your Gargantuas.

Majority of cave and corridor maps are not doable with this build, simply because it's difficult to aggro a lot of monsters into one place.
