I have been playing arround with this build on my seasonal character. Now im kinda meeting the wall at Greater rifts 29-30, I feel that my dmg is very low. And it takes me a while to kill mobs. Please dont say get Akkhans and go shotgun, because the gear is not dropping and there is nothing I can do against RNG. With the gear I have currently eqquiped I survive longer, but killing takes longer time.
I´m wondering if anyone out there can have a look at my gear/build and give me some ideas on what to change arround. I do not struggle with keeping my wrath up, and I´m looking for a Maximus for the fire dmg. The currently maximus I have is only 3400 dps and no socket and only 15% fire dmg. so imo not woth it. I also have Hellskull, but the shield I´m wearing gives me a bigger healthpool
My paragon points are on movement to 25 rest strenght, CHD and CDR, Res all then life regen, areal dmg and life on hit
I have a crown with 92% increase in stash, and a Cindercoat with 20% fire dmg, rolands legs are also in stash.
I ran a build for a while that looked like this, best fire Roland's damage I could squeeze out was:
5 Pc. Rolands
Cindercoat
Maximus
Fire Lidless Wall or Hellskull (both gave equal damage on my build, I preferred the Hellskull for the CDR)
SoJ & RoRG
Witching hour or Harringtons depending on the situation
Reapers wraps
Skills were:
sweep attack/blazing
laws of justice/immovable object
provoke/too scared
iron skin/steel skin
steed charge/endurance or nightmare
akarats champ/firestarter
passives:
heavenly strength
lord commander
finery
wrathful
This worked pretty well for me, the Maximus is easily the biggest damage boost, positioning the fire chain through elite packs makes a world of difference.
Hope that gives some helpful ideas. You may also want to take a look at my Physical Rolands Pet build http://www.diablofans.com/builds/1858-roland-and-friends, I see you have most if not all the gear for it. I switched from fire Rolands sweep build to phys Rolands sweep/pet build and haven't looked back.
I will have a try at your spec. I have a maximus but it rolled with 3200 dps and 15% fire dmg. So untill I get a better one I think I will have a try and look at your spec. I have also figured that it all comes to the RNG of the grift. sometimes I can have weaves of mobs in Grifts while other times waves of Sand stings or w/e combines with succubus etc. wich are really anoying and hard to avoid when they come in numbers. And wich Grift are you up to with this spec in the solo ladder?
I never pushed the fire build to see how far it would go and I've only solo'd the phys. build once on Grifts and I made it to 30 with no Unity, it can definitely go higher but I've been too busy testing and farming to take another shot yet. When I run the phys. build in groups I use it only up to the low 30's and then I switch to shotgun or stampede from there up for the extra safety of prophet but I understand you are at the mercy of the RNG gods and can only run what you have.
By the way, nice Witching Hour, that's a lucky find in seasons.
