I saw wudjo playing it nm 100 and pit like 115 … anyone else trying it? I’m currently heartseeker and bored
My quick take: a bit more damage, damage still sucks. 
Pretty much what you’d expect from looking at the numbers on those ‘upgrades’.
I should note though, that my builds are decidedly not-good (damage wise) and do not resemble the meta builds at all really, so it’s possible people have figured out how to actually squeeze a lot more out of it.
For me, my melee Rogue continues to struggle to even clear very low-mid pit levels, where other classes/builds can easily blast past it.
I play Puncture + Flurry with Andariel’s Visage and can easily clear Pit 100 / 101 in ~3min average assuming the map isn’t garbage; I hate frost spiders. My highest pit is 108 ~3:45; haven’t tried higher b/c idc much. My gear isn’t perfect GA x3 rolls, but here are the highlights:
- Frigid Finesse 7 ranks
- Dark Shroud 11 ranks
- 36.5% Crit | 34.5% Attack Speed | 51% Lucky Hit
- 900% DoT | 929% Crowd Control
- 48k HP - Resist and Armor cap
- 81% Lucky Hit Freeze
- 21.1k ATK Power
- 162% Movement Speed w/o buffs; usually cruising at 200%
Only changed I’d make is rolling Crit% off my gloves b/c I don’t need or rely on it for HP.
There are a few decent performing builds out there. Wudijo has a poison imbue one that’s very well-designed.
I have been playing around since the start of the season with something a little different and finally have it all clicking with Cold Imbue, Victimize and Metamorphosis.
Have cleared 110 and can farm 101 pretty well now. Prior to getting any uber uniques, I was doing 100 tier pits in the 6-8 minute range too, so the gear requirements aren’t super high.
I made videos and links to maxroll build if you search
“Twisting Blades Cold Rogue: Farming 100 pit under 6 minutes” on youtube
This is from a run before I got Shako and Ring of Starless Skies. I have a few different setups to meet a few different needs now(bossing, general tanky all around burst damage, high uptime pit bossing with barbarian friend boss killer)
I’m quite proud of and enjoying this build very much, the metamorphosis AoE damage via victimize to get you to the boss to let your cold imbue single target damage shine is so much fun for me.
Let me know if you have any questions!
(I think the Wudijo build can push higher due to starless skies and infinite poison imbuements to spam (1 puncture → Twisting Blades) during staggers)
I don’t think any other TB build can compete with what Wudi came up with on poison, due to not having enough charges on imbuements for that level of spam in addition to losing one rings worth of imbue tempering
