Hello fellow DHs. Im currently wanted to get all of your opinions on the ideal group comps for 2.1 Greater Rifts.
Personally I have only been able to test a 3 man group (Monk, DH, WD) on the PTR and the affixes seem obviousl favored to hinder ranged (Jailer, T-storm, Mortar etc.) I understand why obviosuly as there are more range than melee but Im also wondering what is the best comp in terms of damage and getting easier affixes on a regular rate?
On live when we added a barb to this current comp, it was rare that we ever got a jailer at all, maybe once per rift on a consistent basis. It seemed electrify was the most constant affix with this group setup. Obviously as a ranged this was a great help to do the max amount of damage without having to worry about getting gibbed by Jailer and T-Storm.
With 2.1 coming out, IMO I think 3 ranged with a monk for control will net the best damage but at what cost? GR 40+ will certainly for most 1 shot all range unless wearing a unity or having an odd gear setup with more than usual toughness(I cant believe blizz is wanting range classes to have to stack toughness to survive this).
I have no actual math behind the best group comp for a 4 man group but if I was putting together a group to attempt to top the leader boards it would be: Monk (hybrid build with solid toughness and mediocre dmg) M6 DH (preferably fire, with a calamity, as long as they keep the dmg on the 1Hs), and SMK WD, and a Hydra Fire Wizard. The only class here Id consider changing is the Fire Wiz to another M6 DH or possibly an EQ barb for the extra toughness and affix changes.
Please add what you guys plan to run with in 2.1
TLDR: What group comp do you feel will be the best for 2.1 GRs and why?
Currently my buddy and I are looking to add a WD preferably with and SMK and Taskers for 2.1 Greater Rifts. We are both active players and high end gamers. Were looking to push to be atop the leader boards for when 2.1 launches.
Currently on the PTR we are Top 10 for 2 man groups but are looking to run 3 and 4 man groups.
If anyone is interested at all please feel free to comment or message me in game. (Mega#1805)
The title says it all. If you are an active player looking to run with high end players and strive to be among the top on the Leader boards for 2.1 please feel free to reply here or message me in game with any interest. (Mega#1805)
We have done extensive testing on the current PTR and feel prepared to make a solid run. Currently our main group will consist of a DH(myself), and a monk for utility.
High Priority: Currently we are looking for an SMK WD, geared with taskers with in depth knowledge of their class.
Med Priority: A M6 DH (preferably with taskers for 2.1) and a Barb capable of playing Cold or Fire.
