I'll give it a try on T10, although I suspect I'll need to up my gold find significantly to get to 50m

Obvious, but make sure you're maxing your paragon GF.

I got it. T10 did the trick.

Thanks for the advice, all.

Now I just need to find a group to do a T10 rift in under 2 minutes.

To be honest the boss kills in under 20 minutes is easier.

It's almost trivial with 4 competent people, but not difficult with only 2. I did it with one other player and we had about 3 minutes to spare.

You do if you go with 4 people. Basically 2 runners and 2 people clear the bosses. Then once done you switch.

If you only have 2 people doing it you use the town portal and teleporting trick and both clear all the bosses.

What? Everyone needs to be present for the boss kill, you can't split them up, unless you mean something else.

He's saying you would do the run twice, to guarantee each pair of players will get it done fast enough. It could be a useful strategy if you don't have four characters with massive movespeed buffs.

You can do the second option with four people as well and not have to do it all twice. It's the only way I've ever done it; I don't think I'd want to do it several times, but I could see how making each run a bit faster can work out.

Did 4 man boss run with some great dudes yesterday. First time running it for myself and one other. Shits insanely easy and actually rather fun.

Thanks to a helpful gune in LLJK, I finally got past the 5min rift and snagged a stash tab. Feels good. Kinda sick of the time attack mode getting soo much focus.

It depends on your class. DH don't have 2h maces in their loot tables, so they may never see it, whereas Wiz has a higher chance than the other classes (according to the stats sites that show items per class).

I did the boss rush by myself because I didn't know that you could group for it.. but I got it done on the first shot so that was pretty cool.

My advice for boss rush is save A2 for last. Invariably the person in A5 gets bogged down in the poo poo map design and the faster player can stack a tp from their act plus a straight run to one of the A2 bosses. The A5 runner makes a tp then you just do the A2 boss first since that person already has a tp up for a different boss.

Did it that way with 3 people and we had something like close to 8ish minutes to spare.

How does the Bonezonewizard hold up to Necro in D2? Do you get like 2 skeletons and one awful elemental or can you have a literal horde of minions?

You get seven permanent skeletons, a golem (not that any serious builds use a golem that I know of) and skeleton mages, of which you can have quite a few but they only last a matter of seconds.

With a good rathma build you will end up having the max of ten mages fairly often, as long as you have the ring which doubles the spawn. Its been my favored build for greater rifts and it really does feel like a summoning class.

It feels even more summon-ish as you level. Before you have jesseths you spend a lot of time with your skeletons not focusing one thing, so it's a lot of you standing behind a crowd of minions and keeping the front line cursed. Really fun

Saaaaaaaame. I've got gimmick poo poo to cause even more passive damage and sometimes I curse. Just missing the krysbin's and it's elusive as gently caress.

Old schaefers and either cubed fulminator or thunderfury and wear the belt that shits lightning. So dumb and fun.

Is there a reason why the damage bonus from the endless walk set won't increase the damage value on your character sheet as it increases, but other stacking damage sources like the Taeguk gem does?

Did they make set dungeons slightly easier in the last patch or two? I cleared out all the Necro and Wizard set dungeons this afternoon and none of them really held me up that badly despite hearing some nasty stuff about Delsere's.

Monsters are visible on the minimap by default now and the time limit was expanded as well. The necro dungeons are pretty simple overall, as well.

That makes a lot of sense. The Necro ones were really easy and the time limits on the Wizard ones seemed really generous considering the complaints I'd heard. I was running everything with pretty unoptimized / incomplete builds so I was pleasantly surprised when I got the conquest.

Are your gems higher level? It seems really bad until your gems are at 50ish (or higher). Also the Blind Faith is important and ancient weapon/offhand seem to help. This is the video I watched on it https://youtu.be/uH8P62E3sjY

I haven't hit GR70 with it yet but I did clear a 66 (I think) so I'm close. For other kinds of speed runs it murders

Fully kitted out I can get the LazyStorm/BlindFaith build to do a GR70 in about 6 minutes but it really falls apart after that but thankfully its only meant for farming. Gems need to be at 50+, you need an ancient weapon and double crit gloves with some decent jewelry helps.

You know, one of the things I like the most about the LazyStorm build is using Bone Spirit. It's a cool-rear end spell that hits like a nuke, and it's another one of those things where it's rather disappointing that the Good Necromancer Builds are all so niche in what they use. Particularly since the skill pool is so narrow to begin with.

Bone Spirit needs some sort of interaction with Pestilence (at the very least!), Death Nova needs legendary support that isn't complete garbage, and it's a crime that CE builds top out as low as they do.

I just finished a GR70 with LazyStorm. It's good in big packs, not so hot single target (at higher levels, at least). Dying to the rift guardian is especially perilous, because it's hard/impossible to build stacks of bone armor back up after that.

This is why I run Corpse Lance with my Inarius setup. It helps a lot with RG, elites, and goblins.
