The wolf is actually just a simulation.

"I've modded the game to remove everything that happens until you get to Gran Pulse the 2nd time"

That would be a good start.

Oh wait, that would remove 99% of the game.

Now see here, you, Jason has been playing the Pokeymans for longer than you've been alive - if he says it is Chardmander it is probably Chardmander!

I almost did - 3 times. Got saved by my templar twice and my Firebird's meteor saved me the 3rd time. I was sweating by the time that exit icon popped up.

I've seen that one, but the one I ran for my GRift was more accordian-shaped. Long tunnel, corner turn, long tunnel, corner turn... basically it looks like one of those Aztec serpent paintings. And it went on FOREVER.

I got 33 legendary drops yesterday - bless the RNG!

Funny you should mention the long tunnel - I had a GRift that was just that. It was the Caldeum Sewers level, but it was just a huge snaking tunnel with no branches. The more I ventured, the more I started to sweat - I was running a difficulty level right at my current limit, and dying in a GRift means having to…

Dammit, it is way too early in the morning, because my mind added an 'L' into 'Back' and my first thought was "wow - that sounds REALLY progressive for racial harmony in China."

Then I read the article while drinking coffee and had an "oh, wait..." moment.

At one time I had a build with 33mil toughness but only 900k dps - when I threw caution to the wind I ended up at 1.3mil dps and 12.5mil toughness. I can ditch the firebird's and such and get 1.6mil DPS and 18mil toughness, but this costs me my elemental and elite damage - I effectively am relying on that 1.6mil DPS…

I may need to learn how to teleport soon. I always seemed to have abysmal aim and end up standing next to something large and hungry.

I'm leveling my bane of the powerful and bane of the trapped right now - taeguk and zei's are already at 25, and while I like my taeguk I've had far too many experiences where keeping…

I haven't had a cindercoat drop at all since I hit 70 - rather annoying. I have had a few maximuses (maximi?) drop on me, but since I convinced myself that I wasn't going 2H, I fed them to the blacksmith. Egg on my face! But I do have a Sankaris I need to play with.

So I tried this build and it works surprisingly well except for two problems:

1) Things die slowly. That's not good for some greater rifts - namely the ones that seem to be mostly empty for long treks.

2) Things that charge/teleport/shift around become menacingly difficult to deal with. With my build, I can usually…

Yeah, I guess, but I'll feel like such a tool while doing it.

But I can't make awesome Robotech Disintegration Cannon jokes without it!

Also I hit my Taeguk gem up to 25 first, and Disintegrate is somewhat integral to keeping it at 45 stack. But I will have to play around with skills in the future.

I can't hear you on account of all the freakin' meteors falling around me. It is thunderous sound of freaking awesome.

Use the cheaty cheaty grift method: start at grift level 1, burn through it, wait until 2 minutes before the end, finish it, get loot, get grift level 2 keystone, repeat. I've gotten dupes of the entire set at this point. With crap stats.

Sadly I'd have to give up my phoenix source and put on my firebird's chest item if I wanted to use a 2H weapon - and I'm running Tal rasha's as my other set, and I like having meteors rain around me too much to give that up.

I am actively seeking a Gift so I can make my Sankaris axe not suck. 20% additional fire…

For my wizard, I finally got the final piece for the Firebird's Finery last week, and after switching myself to 101% fire damage, I'm able to EASILY handle T6 and up to rank 28ish greater rifts.

For wizards, I highly HIGHLY recommend looking into its new 6-set bonus affix. With enough fire spells (new fire version of…

It's all dodecahedra in the sequel
