Will we see more zDPS soloing 150's in s22 than s21?

General Discussion
1

If the shadow clone is equal to our power and casts offensively, why not just run zDPS and support the clone as it clears 150’s?

2

Even if the clones could equal our power that is only a 100% boost in actual damage. That amount of damage is only worth 5 GRs.

3

The clones scale with our characters and you think zdps has the offensive stat for clone scaling to solo GR150?

Yes, I do and I’d like to see you solo 150 with zdps on PTR since it’s quite easy for you.

I suspect that the necro might be able to game this on slightly lower rifts (LoTD Procs) to get high gr’s fast, but I don’t think it’s enough to drop a 150 at all.

Usually there is not enough DPS to solo a 150 unless there is a significant damage boost, from the seasonal theme. By significant I mean a lot more than just the damage you are doing x2. I don’t think even another character as bufed as your character is can do enough raw damage to make it happen on 150. But you never know, Blizzard does a good job at screwing these things up.

i promise you i already have a build that can RGK 150 and stand in a pack of mobs without worrying about dying. I will not give it away, but it’s also not too complicated to come up with.

Then why do you not 150 every season? :roll_eyes: Now you are claiming to be the best player in the world. (Hidden profile of course)

it doesnt have the clear time to do it, but a clone offers this if it’s power is going to based on ours and uses the list of spells given so far.

I would imagine the shadow clones do as the same damage as you, so going zDPS build shouldnt be able to kill anything in GR150. Though S21 does kill mobs at 0 stacks so idk lol. Would have to see in PTR.

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone cleared 150 GR with a zDPS even if it was an exploit and of course it would be working as intended… :roll_eyes:

many shadow builds? I bet a shadow build of a character will hit like armageddon. :slightly_smiling_face: and there will be also other “working as intended” features. :wink:

Duuuuude! Do you even theorycraft maaan? xD
And what who you are talking to, bravata might be one of the best, if not the best speedrunner in d3, due to another thread he made, where he makes that statement.

This sentence made me laugh so hard , i swear ^^. Do you even theorycraft, lol. Its one of the most simple games for theorycrafting since its only working with some stupid predetermined sets and adding some numbers here and there, or having a quick brainfart.

Yeah, all them soft core players along with power levelers are nothing but cheaters…

I’m just curious what kinda times in GR speeds we talking Bravata? I seen you post that in another thread then it popped up again here. I would love to compare times. You beat my times you deserve recognition. And I never enter anything below 107 just fYI.

I have a build that can stand in GR150’s and take zero-damage and anything that touches me instantly dies. I don’t run it because it wouldn’t be fair to dominate the leader boards with my 2-minute clears. I promise you … Yours sincerely Mr Troll.
