I'm confused, are you suggesting that build was better for Season 9 than the current one?

Nope.

[Guest Noob Barb]

Totally a noob question but I have been searching for awhile and cannot find a single waste piece. Right now i'm on T3 just grinding as anything higher takes too long.

What should I be doing to find the set? 

[Guest Joe]

Gamble for them with blood shards.

I have a question, i might be doing something wrong here, so if that's the case, please be gentle :-).

I dont have Convention of Elements, im using Band of Might so it procs with the ground stomp, and my legendary gems is max lvl 55, but other then that, i have the entire build but not little rogue and slanderer. 
Is that the reason why i can't do greater rift 12 and up ?.
I die way to fast but my damage ain't good either. But i can do GR 11 Fine.
- I also notised earlier today that i've been using the Trapped gem and not Taegok, so i placed that in my build now.

Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying nonetheless, sorry that I missed your reply!

Other than what you're doing, you can roll at Kadala with Blood Shards or you can use materials to upgrade pieces in Kanai's Cube.

It's important to note that certain builds don't just rely on getting the actual items, but also getting the right stats rolled on items. Do your stat rolls match with what we have listed as the BiS? Are you close to having them the same? If so, are the rolls on them perhaps low?

No i don't think that i have the right stats.
Here's a link to my character so you can see for yourself, i think it might help you a bit to see where my problem is.

Hi. Can someone help with my build. My damage seems low. What can I improve? Here's the link: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GhostDog-220938/hero/48535719

Your gear is on the right track. (got GR at least, judging from spec and gear)

At this point getting Ancient items, and adding Str with the cube augments is the only way to progress.

The priority should be getting the second Ancient weapon as well, so make sure you either farm bounties and reroll that particular item, or farm DBs and upgrade rare mighty weapons. If you focus only on this, it should not take that long actually.

I also recommend to spend Bloodshards on the slots that you don't already have an Ancient in, etc.

I putted 2x 250 Str augments in gear (2 lvl 50 gems). Going to put more once i upgrade gems and also try to get that second Ancient weapon. BTW, what is the recommendation for the Torso and Pants gems? Ruby or Diamond?

[Guest Squishy?]

I found the build a bit squishy. Are you there any tips for increasing survivability while getting better gear? I have all of the necessary pieces, but until I get my gear ancient/augmented/etc, what can I do to increase my chances of survival? (ie-skill changes, different gear pieces, so on)

[Guest Skinny]

No life%? A bigger life pool would mean better recovery from Blood Funnel.

Without knowing your gear, your Paragon, on which Tier you have problems... it is quite hard to give you advice.

Use Diamonds instead of Rubys, make sure you use Ignore Pain properly, try to evade incoming damage, don't let Taeguk drop.

Your Pride of Cassius should have +6 seconds for Ignore Pain. +4 or +6 seconds don't seem like much, but it can make all the difference! If you have two, one with +6 seconds and one with +4 seconds but better stats, the one with +6 seconds will probably be the better choice.

And why so much cdr? Only 3 skills need it which can all obtain permanent uptime with zodiac. Just seems redundant to me.

[Guest Battlegorge]

What are the thoughts about caldesann's despair.  Pure strength on each piece? saw nothing about it in the guide. Figured i'd ask.

 

thx.

Yes, pure STR for Barbs, pure DEX for Demon Hunters etc.

Permanent uptime on "Ignore Pain" and "Wrath of the Berserker" cannot be obtained through the Zodiac ring alone. You will need up to 40 % CDR for that.

[Guest reply]

I believe in an optimised setup, Obsidian Ring should be cubed and skull grasp should be equipped, because skull grasp can roll with crit, crit, socket, cdr/area dmg

[Guest mcshame]

Love your guides!

Wouldn't the title of this guide need to be changed since the Slanderer and Little Rogue are now specified in the main build?  There were still a couple of references to the BKSV  & BKWB.

Keep in mind that I'm ADHD, but I don't quite understand what's in the Cube with the "Speed Farming" Build.  It's not clear in the Guide.

 

Do I just replace the Furnace with In-Geom and leave in the Mantle and Skull Grasp??

Yes, that is correct.

I might be missing something, but why the Strongarm Bracers? I'm not seeing anything else in the build that'd generate the knockbacks. Or do they trigger off the pull from Ground Stomp?

Long time fan, first time commenter (lolz). What would you guys say would be the ideal (top 3 preferences) for the passive rolled on the Hellfire Amulet?
