It doesn’t work for me. And I see now, 4406 is MB’s paragon.
A 1000 pardons for insinuating that you were trolling, miscommunication on my part.
4406 is quite a bit of paragon. I have a 1000 less paragon and can clear 132 with my unorthodox setup. What do you think is hindering you from getting beyond GR 130?
For me, the link opened, but stated that the char has 1608 para, which is actually your seasonal number. Next click broke the page. API however shows everything, even though it took forever to retrieve EU data:
{
"id": 80892263,
"name": "Meteorblade",
"class": "barbarian",
"classSlug": "barbarian",
"gender": 0,
"level": 70,
"kills": {
"elites": 400272
},
"paragonLevel": 4406,
"hardcore": false,
"seasonal": false,
"dead": false,
"last-updated": 1626072524
},
P.S. 8-digit hero id. That’s pretty old.
The link’s correct, it’s what I have in my favourites. It’s just the EU armoury site going faulty yet again. It’s been an intermittent issue for months at this point. Sometimes it’ll say I don’t have any heroes. Sometimes it only loads some of the 17 heroes. Yesterday it loaded my seasonal hero but showed my non-seasonal hero’s equipment. Heck, on one occasion yesterday it showed all 17 of the heroes with seasonal leaves on them, even though 15 of them are non-seasonal. It’s not just the Armoury site having issues. When I try importing an EU hero into maxroll.gg’s hero planner it took well over 45 seconds to retrieve the hero list (it’s normally 1-2 seconds) and took a lot longer than usual to import the hero. Anyway, here it is…

My Meteorblade hero was created on Day 1 of live Diablo III and has been spinning ever since.
It was similar this season. About a month ago, with around 1200 paragon, and 500STR augments on her, my Barb was in a GR124 with over a minute on the timer, and the boss was around 5 seconds away from dying. It was at that point the game decided to throw me a bonus “1016” generic disconnect error and I was back at menus. I was livid. So, I just did other stuff for a few weeks. Came back with 600STR augments on all slots and just under 1600 paragon. Still took me a couple of days of fishing to get a combo of map / mobs / pylons to fall just right, and I got the GR124 in about 14 minutes.
Quite simply, I’m just not sure I have the amount of patience necessary to fish non-seasonal to get past the GR130. Then there’s also the very real possibility that the issue is entirely that I’m just plain not good enough and that’s fine too.

I hear ya.
I feel the same way. I guess that’s why I’m taking a break from WW.
145 down @ 6.4k . Festering Woods with an OK layout, but not 4 corner. Zombies and skelly summoners in good density. Got channeling pylon early and conduit at the end. 100% first floor, I tried to enter the next map to try for another pylon but I wasnt quick enough and the boss spawned. It was the Binder and I killed her in about 3 minutes 20 seconds.
I estimate that with better layout and pylons i can clear 147 and probably 148 with a perfect rift.

Awesome, good work there on that clear at sub 7k gons. Do you have a video by chance?
Sorry Seras, no video, but I’ve been asked many times and I think I’ll start tinkering with capture software. Maybe next time I’ll have something to show.
Win 10 has built in game capture feature available if you want to try it. Or, you can try OBS and record to your PC. I use OBS for my videos.

Just a quick question,not sure if its been tried or not,but I have bad arthritis and been trying to use the spear trick but I’m way to clunky.
So I switched out to WW/Hurricane to pull mobs to me ,that and stomp/wrenching,will this be viable at higher level GR’s? Its working well for me for GR90 runs,just not sure how well it would work once I start going past 100+
I’m not a huge fan of spear either. I don’t like hurricane much, though. The mechanics aren’t great, and you lose damage and healing. The best non-spear results for me have come from using Threatening Shout/Falter instead of spear. That can take you well past 100.
Nope.
hurricane rune is great for grouping density and small movement. Basically anything that is a speed run hurricane does great since stuff should die quickly. In a true push you will be pulling 6-8 elites over the entire map and hurricane will CC them causing them to become immune to the ability very fast. If your not planning on pulling more then 1-2 elites at a time then hurricane will be fine. That said without perfecting spear/stomp combo you can expect your max push will be between 125-132 with around 3-5k paragon.
I’ve actually created a spear free setup. Here is a GR 131 clear:
Chris is wrong here. I play this setup and can say that it’s capable of clearing 135 - 138.

First map was a decent Festering, with a Shield. Second map was Caves with a Power and a Speed. No conduit. Probably capable of GR126-7 with right map / pylons but only four hours of season left so not sure if I’ll bother.

Looks like the answer is “cheating”. That clear is gone from Maxroll’s worldwide leaderboard. Top is now 147 in about 14 minutes, with around 7k paragon.
Regardless if they botted to 8k, the dps needed at 150 is a lot and he’ll definitely need to pump some vit to sustain the incoming dmg. I suspect at this paragon, he’s sitting about 54K ~ 55K str full augments. Would love to see a video of that clear anyways.
LOL what is vit? I spit on paragon points in vit. Oh wait is that the stuff I needed to use in season?
