Is it possible to get the build via PM?
Good job on the clear! Pretty cool that you used the core build.
As for Mantle, I haven’t actually tested the new setup, but it should be very easy to test. Your sheet damage won’t change since it’s multiplicative, but your toughness ought to. So you just need to fiddle around a bit and see when that number rises / falls. I may check it out later today and report back, if nobody beats me to it.
Cleared a 127 . Took about 10 tries as I was getting some terrible maps . Finally got a good map , two floors with great density but arcane beams were nasty and I died twice . If not for the deaths I think I could have cleared it in around 13:00 to 13:30 . Still got it done in 14:34 . Had Rime for RG . Victory is sweet !
Finally the season ended and I did quick tests of my non-season characters (3.6k paragon).
-
Fast build with the Squirts (under 2 mins).
It seems that GR 95 is the highest level where monsters die just because I ran over. -
Semi-fast build with CC (5-10 mins @ GR115-120).
I did GR125 and it seems I can do it almost at any map without using Hard Rend and without gathering density. -
Push build with BoM (no CC).
I did GR130 (3.6k paragon, 26k str, 3.5m damage). It was relatively easy. The first floor was good but the next 3 floors were not good (temple, moors and tunnels). I died few times due to stupid errors because I hadn’t played D3 for a long (over 1 month). I believe that with two good maps 133 must be possible… may be 135 if I learn how to use advanced hard rend technic (Rend-Rend-WW-Rend-…).
I didn’t use Follower because I don’t like its stupidity.
P.S. I don’t know what to use for the armor slot in the cube.
For non-season? I’d go with Stone Gauntlets, since Mantle got nerfed.
Hey Corwin . Looks like you did good on testing non seasonal character . I’m curious , How high are your Legendary Gems on that character ? Mine are only at 125 &126 at the moment as I was able to upgrade two after the 127 clear . I think I could do better if my gems were higher than the tier level I attempt . I am always at least a level or two lower so it makes it a bit harder to get clears . I was in a clan for a while hoping I could get help playing groups and leveling gems . Didn’t work out to well as they were interested in seasons and I couldn’t get much support . So I’ve been doing it all on my own . Getting it done , but I think it would be a bit easier if I could get ahead on gem levels . Thanks
I put SG in the Cube and replaced BoM with Unity. It seems work better.
I got Taeguk and Trapped to 150 playing in pair with my friend. We did every GR just one time so I got Stricken to 143 playing solo. It’s about +1 GR compared to your gems.
Downed a 118 (my highest ever clear for any toon) - good enough for the LB (for now lol) @ 215x para with only 2 augments and subpar gear.
would love to get some help on what gear replacements to focus on

Congrats on the clear!
As for upgrades, get gloves with AD, swords with CDR + AD, and a better Flavor. Aside from those items, your gear is in very good shape, and you can push higher still.
Hey PMG , I agree with Free on gear upgrades . But easier said than done . Getting area damage and CDR on weapons is proving to be a chore . Haven’t found or acquired anything weapon wise other than my Primal BK’s which I love by the way . Had to choose CDR over area damage . I have two pair of gloves that are both primal . One pair has AD and the other CDR . I choose CDR on them too as I was getting further in progress sporting CDR on items over AD on them . Hopefully I acquire those good pieces at some time . It’s not easy to get those ultimate rolls on gear . Keeping trying and hoping for some luck is all anyone can do . Good luck and Grats on your 118 clear !
think i gotta start fishing … missed 119 last 3 tries by 30 secs or less with absolute crap maps…
if you guys were gonna augment one or two pieces of my current gear, which??
Bounties + Cube = Good Weapon
It took me less than 1 month in the last season to get a pair of swords with CDR+AD (for pushes) and another pair with CDR+RCR (for semi-fasts).
I’d go with your helm and your Mortick’s. Any upgrade you find on those is not going to be very much better.
In a small victory for those of us that just don’t like rage flip, I finally cleared 125 at 2307 paragon. I group with TS and Stomp. Used Crimson’s and Istvan’s after just missing with my standard BK setup (15:26). Somehow managed this on my first try with this setup. Battlefields on level 1 got things off to a good enough start that Corvus on lvl 2 was manageable. I know that rage flip is generally more efficient, I’m just very tired of using it forever and day on my zbarb. The fury boost from TS is also handy when starting a level when using Istvan’s. Anyway, very happy with my off-meta clear.
Grats, that’s a nice clearance for that paragon.
Congrats Jeb, that’s a pretty solid effort!
So for season 20 best setup is to use ambos + doombringer with focus + restraint and cube coe + orotz + bam?
Thanks very much, guys.
Congrats, Jeb! Next time you push, record it so we can archive videos!
How much main stat did you have?
