[Guide] Zodiac Rend (Season 20)

Been a while since I last posted here. Just wanted to tell about my progress.

Still playing with CC and BK weapons and I‘m close to reaching my goal of completing a 120 with 119 down in ~10 minutes.

Surviving is not much of an issue yet, even with CoE.

I think I may be able to go a bit further, like 122, 123. We shall see.

So, this little beauty dropped earlier today…

The elemental damage range is almost primal, and the 20% AD takes me to 104%. Allocated a little bit of paragon into VIT to make up for the loss from changing the weapon. I’ll see what I can manage with it tomorrow.

GR130 Down for rank 94 EU, will have to do better to stay in top 100 but hella happy for now! Got triple Battlefields with a Condi halfway then Hamelin for RG, will probably not get that lucky again hehe :smiley:

So, over the last few days I farmed around 300 GR keys.
Decided to spend some of them today, and on my 3rd key…

Festering as map 1, with speed and channelling pylons, Corvus as map 2, with a Power, into another Festering as map 3. Died during the boss-fight, was worried about cascading deaths due to not having WOTB available, hid around the little pillar base for boss’s green spitting of doom, popped WOTB back on, and just got him.

Again, no conduit to be seen so I reckon there’s still a GR129 or GR130 out there for me if the stars align and/or I get some more paragon in. This matches my previous seasonal best of a GR128 in the season where we had killstreaks / angels, but that was done at around 2200 paragon, so I’m pretty happy with this.

Now then… let’s get cracking on the other 299 keys…

Thats a really impressive clear without a conduit dude! You should Just go for the Gr130 and skip GR129 imho.

I did a few tries at GR132 yesterday and there is no way in hell I will be able to pull it off without a Conduit, even with the perfect rift, conduit and mob type it will be damn hard to pull it off. Will have to add more points in vit as well since arcane beams and similar are super rippy at this level.

Best of luck with the fishing and I’ll see on the leaderboards man!

I can’t. I’m only unlocking access to one additional GR level at a time.
If I get a triple Battlefields, Conduit and Hamelin though, it’s all kinds of on. :wink:

God that’s ruff. This game can be horrible. On the plus side your all set for GOD DH. I have a perfect cold primal as well that I got upgrading rares on my barb. Went straight to my DH and I cried a little.

Finally just hit on my first triple primal istvans with 10/10/24 and it has fear on it. What garbage!!!

The triples always troll on secondaries, haha.

I am just thinking if a 2.8% damage buff is worth the fear headache? It’s not game changing and I probably wont even feel the damage. I will however feel the trash running away.

Give it a try, see how it feels. Every time you Spear/Stomp, the mobs get 40% CC resist anyway, so they may not actually run away as much as you think. Or, it could be a huge problem!

I still have 3.2k mats left from season 21 so Im not done rolling. Ive already seen 3 primal istvans in 5k mats rolled so far. Now Im going for my other triple. Then when season paragons transfer I will put in a non season push. Who knows maybe ill stumble on a perfect primal FOT. That would make my day!!!

So seras will post all his fails but will fail to post his 141 clear he has been farming for what seems like two entire seasons. Grats my dude!!! Rank 61 world non season. You are truly in the mix with the big boys now. Now its my turn to make it two clan members on page one. I remember when we use to talk about 134s being a big deal and breaking top 200 world rank.
