Introduction

This is the setup that I used to clear Greater Rift 20 solo, which is a benchmark to pass to earn your third Haedrig's Gift bag in Chapter 4 of the Seasonal Journey. The third bag will complete your 6-piece set. This is specifically focused on the beginning of a new Season when Embodiment of the Marauder is the Haedrig's Gift for Demon Hunters.

Testing Circumstance for Minimum Luck

I used 0 paragon, which you would likely have a few levels of by the time you go for your GR20 and I also did not use a Follower. I crafted exactly one piece of Rare gear for each slot that didn't have a Marauder's piece and did not roll a single affix on any piece at the Mystic. I did not have any useful items in Kanai's Cube to simulate having zero cubed items at the start of a season.

Typical/Suggested Improvements

I easily cleared the GR20 and most players could and should make a ton of improvement on the gear by cubing useful Legendary powers or finding useful Legendaries to wear/craft along the way, including converting One-Handed Crossbows in the cube to get a Dawn or maybe crafting a Bow for a chance at a Yang's Recurve. You can even do a Greater Rift below 20 and get a Bane of the Powerful, since it's always the guaranteed first Legendary gem and use that to help assist you in clearing the GR20.

However, if you're super unlucky, you can do it with this bare bones setup, as seen in the video below.
