I cleared a 50 a while ago and tried some attempts on 52-53 but failed... There was one attempt where i missed a 53 by about 30 seconds which sucked... Anyway i might try going for grasp of dead and frozen piranhas with bott as you showed. What rune on grasp of dead are you using? Desparate grasp i assume?
I logged on my Carnevil WD, equipped with pre 2.2 gear. Just put on some gems and cleared a 45 without even having to focus on the rift while watching some shit on Twitch... The build is so much more powerful now it's insane. I'll get to farming some of the new pieces after i'm done with my wizard and then probably go for 50+ attempts (Orak watch out i'm coming for ya ).

So i cleared a 50 quite easily - I was very well ahead of time but the last pack before the RG had the worst affix combo ever and i wasted like 2 minutes on it so my total clear was like 14:xx in the end.
Anyway i wanted to ask you Orak, how the hell did those guys on the leaderboard clear 54+ ? I tested some 55 and the fetishes just die so fast... Not sure if it's even possible. I guess it's just fishing for an extremely easy rift with nothing but melee mobs and no elite packs...
Also, has Zei been tested as a replacement for enforcer? If it works with fetishes it might be superior since people are clearing 54+ anyway, it means you don't really need the extra toughness on fetishes that comes from enforcer. I'm guessing that Zei's only works for your dart but it might not be the case as similar to the DH where sentries gain a bonus from Zei's also.
There are a few variations to gearing up for this build. The Cain's set it probably the best one imo because of the ias. Basically, every ias stat is double dipping with the carnevil build since not only does it give your pets a straight damage increase, it also makes you shoot faster and in turn, your fetishes as well.
The alternatives to Cain's pants + gloves are:
SLW (Swapland waders) + Taskers: If you have perfect int trifecta taskers then this combo might be worth it. Sometimes when re-positioning mid fights, your fetishes will attack normaly and that's when taskers can actually be useful. Also, obviously it's nice to have 20% poison damage from the pants.
Cain's boots + gloves + SLW + Zuni ring: I guess only an option in low GR because you really want double unity and you can't give up the SOJ because you need it for the full Zuni set bonus.
Another variation might be Hammer jammers + Stone gauntlets. Hammer jammers just for the extra toughness stat and stone gauntlets can roll up to 20% chance to immobilize target... If your dod has cold damage then you can go for frostburns i guess (i think that bug is still active).
I guess in T6 you can get rid of Cain's and go for SLW + Glove of worship for the 10 minutes duration on shrines.
So yeah Cain's pants + gloves seems to be the best option here.
Edit: Btw this is my current gear http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Jamoose-2376/hero/19555960 the rings are a unity(near perfect) + rorg (crap roll). There is so much room for upgrades like a better rorg, ancient zuni offhand, ancient dod, hf/immunity amulet and better rolls on other slots. Once i get all of these, i am sure that 41+ will become a lot easier.
Managed to clear 37, 38, 39 and 40 almost all of them on first attempts. It's really awesome once you get used to it... If you get a good map and you got all fetishes out with bbv then the damage is insane ^^
correct me if i am wrong but
no gogok ias snapshot from spawns, since FA and FS shoot with your own attack speed.
simplicity strength now boost FA FS poison dart as well
Btw i just cleared GR43 and i'll upload the video tomorrow morning! Dropped ancient DoD and got 400k dps!
Even if they shoot at your attack speed, the fetishes damage is determined when they spawn, according to your damage stats - and afaik, higher attack speed means higher pet damage. The fact that they shoot at your own speed does not negate the idea that they might be snapshotting your damage.
Also, even if simplicity boosts the fetishes damage gogok might still be better because of the cdr. But if it's Enforcer vs Simplicity then definitely Simplicity. Unless you think that the extra pet toughness the Enforcer gem provides is actually useful which it probably is but from my self experience FS spawn quite fast usually so it kinds of makes up for the dead fetishes...
Edit: Oh and gj on the 43 and thanks for the video. I see you got an ancient dagger now ^^ - The effectiveness of Simplicity's strength really shines when facing an RG like SK apparently...
how would you rank the legendary gems in order of priority ? ?
Kinda only have 1 socket slot atm. Working on my second
Gogok might be #1 because it gives you ias and cdr. The ias is technically a straight up dps buff for your fetishes and your attack rate for spawning more fetishes through the passive. And the cdr helps a lot with skills like phiranado etc...
Not sure if the ias you get from gogok stacks is added to the fetishes that have been already summoned but i think that it does not. It's probably like when you have max gogok stacks, fetishes spawned from psychophants will snapshot with that ias bonus (not sure so don't take my word for it). So also for FA, if it snapshots (and i think it does) then you'd want to re-cast it only when you have max gogok stacks.
Enforcer is simply a boost to your fetishes damage which is awesome. Simplicity's strength is a boost to your poison dart alone afaik so it might actually not be that good. the healing you get from it is quite nice though. I think it's possible to swap it for BOP if you can give up on the healing.
That's awesome dude, gratz on the clear!
