[Guide] Zodiac Rend (Season 20)

What Focus and Restrain build do you guys recommend for speed greater rifts for season 24? The grandfather with Messerschmidts power or an In-geom build with a Gimmershred?

Quick question for rage , if 1 was to take the usual 4 passives boon , rampage , berserker , ruthless and also weapons master on etheral , roughly how much would adding a 6th passive brawler give dps wise with a hellfire ammy

With a max-rank Taeguk in that situation, and assuming max rolls on your chest + shoulder, Brawler will add 7.9% damage.

Keep in mind though that Weapons Master is really only good dps for axes+maces, where it gives CHC. For swords (like Grandfather or Doombringer), it gives 8% additive, which works out to only 3% extra dps in this situation.

Yep brawler is better the weapon master

Another trial. 15 runs@125 with 8249 paragon. Great progression!!!
Best 3:57
Average 4:48
Worst 5:50

Were did everyone go? It’s so quiet in here.

I know! Because of the launch of D2R, maybe? Also, I think we’re kind of at that “mid-late season doldrums” point.

Impressive.

I don’t know if you want to do another 15 (or 10, or 5, or whatever), but it would be great if you could record a set of your speeds, including all your town time. We have good video examples to point to for, say, pushing with Rend, or with Leapquake. But, we don’t really have video that shows really good speed efficiency, including pickup management and stuff like that. Since you’re our most accomplished speed rifter around here, I think you’re the man for the job!

I guess that at an average of 4:48, a set of 10 might end up being around 50 minutes, including town time, which is maybe a bit long for a video. You could always do just 5, or reduce the GR to 120. What do you say?

Nothing special. Pretty much the only goal is the attempt to hit an elite or valuable pack on every COE cycle. I don’t ID any gear unless it is a potential upgrade which means for me only
good primals. In fact sometimes I don’t even pick stuff up but that is hard for me to do.
Town is LAVA. If you are the type of person that likes to engage with trolls on in game chat or help people out this will put a huge damper on your exp per hour. Turn off any groups you are in so that this doesn’t happen. This includes clan chat. If you die at all this hurts your exp per hour since you have no bonus. You should also have plenty of cow sticks ready in case to you die. Never search for pools when you are solo other then from a cow stick or while farming keys. You need keys anyways might as well farm 10 pools at the same time.

Nice, well done. You might want to consider copying this over into a new topic- “Chris’s Speed Rend Setup” or something like that.

This thread is so damn long it’s hard to find anything. Whenever I need to revisit some of the stuff I wrote about WW/Rend mechanics it takes me a solid half hour to track it all down.

I created a new topic for you and anyone else who is interested.

On the topic of it being so quiet. Yes it is the time it normally dies in season around here but we also have a lot more stuff going on then normal. For one D2R is out but that was expected. New World released on the 28th which it’s my feeling more players left for that then D2R. And in the near future the POE expansion and WOW classic fresh beta. There is a lot of places players are going with even more options coming up. It is going to be interesting how long this season will be and if we get anything to help keep players interested.

I’ve been looking for a Ramaladni’s Primaliser for this…

Shame about the low value on the legendary power or that would have replaced my primal non-seasonal STR / CHC / CHD version quite nicely.

dam close one there.

Well, well, well, look what dropped tonight…

Certainly good enough for season. Might even replace my non-seasonal primal.

What are the rolls on your non-seasonal one?

The non-seasonal is STR / CHC / CHD (rerolled) with 35% Gold secondary.
It’s on Meteorblade

Yeah, the new one you found will definitely be better than that for pushing. The old primal one will be a little better for speeds.

There’s video of IveGottenSoLucky’s 150 Rend (season 24, rank 1) clear. A huge lead for the boss- power pylon barely even necessary!

Dam he got lucky. Shield and channel into a condi on a garbage floor but amazing trash.

That would have been at least 45 seconds faster if he played the power correctly. I literally cringed when he died on the boss. This is why I didn’t push in season. I went so long being squishy it is hard for me to start over.

I can’t stand that level of RNG, makes me sick to my stomach.

I need another Ramaladni’s Primaliser…
