Thank you but I did complete GR 100 in 13:57 8/11/19 a few hours before posting here, my profile is public if anyone is interested in looking. I was just chiming in that an average player just enjoying the game can do GR 100+ with UE but there are much easier builds to work with.
Your seasonal UE6 DH has problems with the gear :
- Your armor lack + discipline roll (this one is a big mistake that cost a decent amount of damage)
- You lack multishot damage on helm and quiver (the lack of damage in these parts cost some damage)
- Using magefist do not worth it, using RORG instead of COE in cube cost you a lot of damage.
- The lack of steady aim passive is big, this passive was changed a lot of seasons ago and its 20% multiplicative damage
- You used candlesans on low quality ancient items (quiver, helm and specially that armor without discripline that its totally useless, even a normal armor with +disc with bad rolls beat your armor by a huge margin). another thing i noticed that is your vitality its pretty low, i must say that 600k its optimal.
- Elite damage or CDR in yang its better than 7% attack speed.
I welcome the input, I started playing this January so I have some learning to do, since I seem to have become addicted to this game. As for the Yangs I will roll off the 7% for elite damage and try that. Looking at this it seems like a no brainer but I hope to do better in S18.
Where is the best site for optimal rolls for gear? Id like to be able to make the right choices next time.

Seriously, EVERYONE who playes with UE Multishot knows that Armor, Quiver and Yang MUST have max discipline which of course I have and why would I use magefist?
Don’t have extra multishot damage on helm or quiver, but have some on boots…
Have no luck with Yang, tried multiple times to get a damn primal, can’t even get a good ancient with 180+ multishot damage without sacrificing discipline…
I have 12 discipline on all Yang, Quiver and Armor (which is primal btw).
As for caldesans sorry I play solo most of the time and can get max 500k, don’t use OP builds or zdps builds just to have 130+ gems or caldesans…
Reached GR107 with Rapid Fire, but playing 105+ GRs is no fun for me, cause they tend to have the worst elite layout possible (some maps have 2 or 3 elites only) and you can count pylons per map on your hand…
I prefer to play the way I like without the need of getting on the leaderboards with any means necessary.
If someone enjoys the “rat race” that’s his/her choice. I’m no teen anymore, get tired pretty fast and if a game is starting to remind your day time job and requires you to play over 8 hours a day, than there’s clearly something wrong…
I know it’s a “loot hunt” game or in case of D3 RoS paragon and caldesan rat race too, but if you need to play over 8 or 10 hours to fully enjoy it, than no wonder so many people bot or cheat… The RNG is just ridiculous in D3 RoS…
The problem with D3 RoS is that the progression takes waaaay too much time for none botting players or for whoever spends less than 8 hours a day to play the game. By progression I mean reaching at least GR100 with your favourite build, not go the easy way out with the most OP ones. Those who just want to enjoy the game with their favourite builds rather than join the clones just to hit leaderboards have a realy hard time even reaching GR100 or surpasing it even slightly…
Gasnick, you asked about being able to clear GR 100 at your para, gems and augment levels.
I ran GR 100’s with dex set to the same para you are using, no augments, and just slightly higher legendary gems. Ran them pretty easily.
Then I shared some ideas with you on what to do to run GR100’s with UE at your para.
You should try some of the ideas offered to see what works for you. You can always go back the what you are currently using if they don’t work out.
The way sets have been boosted in the past couple patches, a well played DH set can usually get a GR 100 prior to 1000 para with no augments.

Hey Groovy, how much CDR do you have on your seasonal UE?
To answer your question, IcyVeins is a good place to start looking at gear stats. There is also a DH information post that is not yet a sticky. I’ll grab the link and add it.
Gasnick, you’re criticism isn’t way out in left field, because RNG can be frustrating in this game. But I want to say about the only time I put 8 hours into the game at a time is right at Season start. For maybe three days. Basically a weekend and part of Monday. Which is a lot I admit. But after that I might put 2 or 3 hours at a time in and not every day.
gear is important in this game, no doubt, but there’s tricks to make less of a hassle. Once you’re running T10, if you’re doing everything to improve your gear ie, using the cube both upgrading rares to legendary and reforging, and Kadala, and through normal drops, it isn’t so bad. I think at least.
If collecting mats are a problem like veiled crystals, arcane dusts, and reuseable parts, trying running campaign, just once. After that, set campaign to Kill Maltheal, and talk to the Templar. His quest will put you in an area that has several weapons racks. Collect from those racks but don’t go open the second door. Port back to town and close the game. Re-start and do that again until you pack is full then salvage, you should get about 250 reuseable parts at the end. You can then either keep those or use the cube to transmute them to veiled crystals and arcane dusts. It’s just a quick way to get mats if that’s all you want.
Death’s Breaths shouldn’t be such a huge problem with the change to the Sage Set. So gearing will be easier next season. The point I’m trying to make is it doesn’t take 8 hours a day of play time to get geared enough to have fun. Now getting on the leaderboards is another thing entirely. But I don’t want to get into that.

Crafting material aren’t really a big problem for me, got over 67k of each resuable parts, veiled crystals and arcane dusts, 41,k Death Breaths and 13k+ forgotten souls this season.
Got all of these mats from doing public T13-T16 bounties, rifts and Ancient Vault runs…
Right now I focus on leveling gems only.
So I’m a bit confused. It appears that you have mats but aren’t using them. Is that a correct assumption?
I used to reforge Yangs a lot (had more mats, was doing pub bounties for like 3-4h a day…), but it was too frustrating, as the outcome was always pretty depressing…
yeah, re-forging can be really frustrating when it doesn’t work out, some folks swear by it. I use it sparingly and preferable on rings. Weapons too, but I usually get a decent one from drops before I ever get one through re-forging if that’s what I’m focusing on. Yang’s isn’t easy to get good stats on. Has to have the right amount of RCR, the right damage multiplier, and Discipline. That’s a hard one to get so re-forging could take hundreds of tries to get right. I usually have to settle for “close enough” for my Yang’s because I can usually get at least one that has mediocre stats on all three. I’m not willing to put more into it though.
I’m just saying it doesn’t take perfect gear which is really hard to come by, but “good enough” gear can get you through Grift 100 rather easily. You just have to be willing to accept mediocre rolls. That’s my experience anyway.

My rolls on Yang are pretty mediocre at best (168-170% multishot damage bonus, but at least 12 discipline on Yang, Dead Man Legacy and 12 on Primal UE Chest.
I’ll focus on trying to complete GR100 after season, right now getting as many gems as possible to 100 is my goal.
Is Rebel geared for Regular Rift farming? It looks like it to me, so I don’t want to critique it if that’s the case.
Rebel? What do you mean by that?
Your character. Or am I looking at the wrong profile?
I’m playing on Europe servers, didn’t play season 17 on american at all, as all my chars inventories and stash are completly full…
Also currently using Rapid Fire instead of multishot for leveling gems.
Ah, that makes sense then. Sorry for my confusion.
Edit: And I do see you’re using Rapid Fire. Sorry I couldn’t help you.
No problem, multishot UE is by far my favourite build in D3 I’ll go back to it once I’m done with gems.

If you check my post i was talking to groovy, because he has an armor without discipline…
Anyway, keep in mind that i play hardcore only, my paragon is low and i tend to play 99% of time solo (ya i play only bounties in party), so no high augments for me neither, no insane paragon and no high gems…
As i posted before, if i manage to do GR 100 with only 2 offensive gems in hardcore with 9,5k dex you can pretty much clear GR100 without problems in SC with way more dex than me.
As some other guys posted in this thread too, your setup is not optimal gasnick that is why you cant beat GR100.
As for the d3 slow progression, nope, as i said i play mostly solo, and i play HC so that thing means i lose all my set a lot of times each season, and considering that i think the d3 progression its pretty fast, because i can actually re-gear a lot of times each season, and i don’t even play that much, probably 1-2 hours daily if anything.
The thing i don’t get is that you hate meta but you want to be in par with top meta players… i don’t play meta neither, sure i will not be able to do things that pro meta players do (TBH i don’t care, because they have zero impact in my gameplay) , but GR 100 its pretty easy by nowadays standards.

I played HC with Monk and DH multishot on PTR got to 605 paragon level and stopped, cause I got borred.
I don’t care about meta, I want everyone to be able to complete min 120 solo under 1500 paragon level with less than 600k caldesans with ANY build they play.
These could be done pretty easy if Blizz listened to players with lower paragon levels or made it possible to reach past GR100 with any build out there.
There’s a way that any T16 vayable build could do GR100 or even 120 with less than 2000 paragon level with minor buffs to items or even without any buffs at all.
Anyway sharing this idea would only start a flame war and lure out all the trolls and haters out there so there’s no point…
