True. Did clear my first 50 without big problems, except RG. Tight Map, Binder as guard, no space to dodge. Did proc my Soul Vessel but did go down relative easy.
Side note: did not recognize that my cube had in-geom (from chicken farming) still activated instead of furnace
Will try with furnace to go further into those 50s.
Edit:
By the way, I seem to have overheard why you are using zei's. Care to give a quick explanation?
Why Zei's? Damage. The further away you are from the target (and the further away your mimics are from their target) the more damage you do. It's a separate multiplier as well (like Bane of the Trapped) so it adds a ton of damage.
With an Ancient Suwong you should be able to do 55 without any problems on HC. 60 can be done first try with ancient weapon, but you're HC so will have to be careful.
Enjoying your series alot. Still trying to push as HC WD Got some useful hints from you - thanks.
Keep it going!
Thanks! Currently switching over to Zombie Bears though, as I have a much better ancient Scrim and it seems to be superior to Acid Cloud, if for no other reason than survivability thanks to Henri's.
Hey guys, today I clear G61 on my 4th attempt. Since the last tier I made a couple changes - dropped Zombie Dogs/Life Link for Soul Harvest/Languish for similar damage mitigation but more dps and put poison damage on Jeram's Bracers instead of fire. Apologies for sounding tired (recorded before 8am) and the car alarm going off at the end. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G60. No changes over the last tier and a bit faster. Ancient weapon (even if it's bad) allows you to break into 60 quite easily. This was back to back after the 59 and I was still half asleep (recording time was around 8:30am), but I was excited even if I didn't sound like it! Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G59. Since the last tier, a few changes took place - roughly 50 paragon levels, I rolled a (crappy) ancient Suwong Diviner via the reforge legendary method, and got better ancient Helltooth pants. Weapon is troll at only 4.1k dps, but it's still a ~20% overall damage boost. Rift was crappy, guardian was crappy (Bloodmaw never stands still), but a win is a win. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the big 6-0!
Hey guys, today I clear G58. Gear and build remain unchanged from the last tier. This was my 3rd attempt is likely my last stop before acquiring an ancient Suwong Diviner, simply because I'm lacking damage and my time is better spent grinding some paragon levels and acquiring better gear rather than grinding for the perfect rift (it's too early for that). Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G57, about 40 paragon levels later. Some slight gear upgrades took place and my gems are ranked a bit higher, but still no ancient weapon. Clear time was nearly identical to the last tier - terrible first level, but great conduit and shield pylons on the second and a free rift guardian (poison - I'm wearing Mara's). Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G56. Only a single change from the last tier - I dropped the cold zombie dogs in favor of Life Link for a bit more sustain, as I was proccing my Spirit Vessel too much on the last tier after switching to CoE. Clear time was about 10 seconds slower, so still pretty quick. Rift Guardian goes down very fast for Witch Doctors - under 30 seconds in this case. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G55. No skill changes over the last tier, but I did get a helm upgrade at the cost of toughness so I'm a lot squishier. Still rolling with a non-ancient Suwong Diviner, so we'll see how high I can push. 60+ is doable without an ancient weapon, but requires fishing. Rift was pretty favorable overall. By the way, these are all first attempts unless noted otherwise. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G54. Quite a few changes over the last tier - I dropped double Unity for CoE, rolled better Focus/Restraint, switched to Fire Wall of Death and Cold Acid Cloud, dropped Iceblink in favor of Molten Gizzard, and swapped Cold Toads for Fire Frogs as the primary skill. Clear still took about 45 seconds longer than the last one, but RNG is RNG. Oh, and I found a sick Ancient Scrimshaw, so eventually I may be switching over to Zombie Bears. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G53. This was done right after the 52 so gear and skills remain unchanged. I should be able to knock out a few more before switching to Gizzard/Convention of Elements setup as we approach upper 50's. Clear time was just a few seconds longer than the last one. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G52. Some time has passed since the last clear (almost 70 paragon levels) and a better Focus ring, resulting in approximately 10% more overall damage. Clear time was just under 11 minutes. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G51. From the last tier I dropped Spirit Vessel (don't need it currently, already have too much toughness) and instead picked up Pierce the Veil, as I was staying topped off on mana last time. The result is a slightly faster clear. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G50. No changes from the last tier, though the clear is a bit slower. I'll likely be picking up Pierce the Veil for the next clear to speed things up, along with eventually dropping double Unity in favor of Convention of Elements. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
