Blizzard needs to squash the Rogue. Being able to clear pit 150 in about 2 minutes seems unintentional and, if it’s caused by astronomical numbers, it is likely causing lag for many players.

That this has gone on for almost a year tells me Bliz is helpless to do what is needed here. Just remove umbracrux from the game or redo it and go from there.
Meanwhile the shop gets fixed overnight, druids get nerfed, sorcs get nerfs, paladin stuck in 120 to 130, but rogue is fine and nothing to see here. They can do 150 with bugs every season. Like what is going on???

I wonder what all the Rogue players would think/say. Hmm…
They switched off umbra in s13, aaaaaand just give it back. Impossible to rework i think. Only destroy
That’s ruining all the fun, OP. Only buffs are allowed, never nerfs. Instead of fixing one bug, the only option for Blizz is to bring every other class up to do octillions of damage
There are currently rogue builds that do not use bugs and are fun to play. Even warlocks have nice builds.
Im still tinkering on my new perma"porting" rain 
of fire… arrows rogue. Cooldowns are on 5 items, i have over 225 resource and all the uniques. But i guess the WW-Immortal-Barb is still the king of relaxing helltides runs 
If they knew how to fix it, they would have fixed it by now.
This is indeed the only solution that they should actually do! Or at least disable it for the season.
I have been wondering this also since peering at the SSF Rogue leaderboards and wondering where I was going wrong.
Not ONE of the top 5 were using dance of knives - it was Triple imbuements, cooldowns and the shadow ultimate. All were wearing similar gear but some had differences in gloves, even shako instead of nameless cowl.
Tired of being stuck in T11 , wanna learn what these rogues do 
I say it needs fixed. It makes the rogue leaderboard irrelevant.

arent all leaderboards irrelevant?
The top 10 leaderboard pros get an awesome mount and other precious things.
For people who like stuff like this its a big thing
Squash would be a nice sports mini game for the rogue. Very dexxy.
I second what Urza said: Just remove the Umbracrux.
Seems like the same issue from Blackheart heart of the Barber (or whatever it was) at the time in S1.. Like, how about instead of making it a big AoE effect make just chain it X times periodically and be done 
It’s not like a rocket science that if a certain AoE thing stacks it will be broken given the circumstance
Normal RoA is plenty strong and plenty tanky. Using the Umbracrux is basically just admitting to the World that you aren’t above cheating.
Personally I don’t care at all. It’s a single player/co-op game. If someone joins my session and abuses the bug I’ll just quit and create a new session or let them carry me for some glyph updates.

But the absolute PICOSECOND a druid pet build clears pit 130, NERFNERRFNERFNERFZOMGNERF!!!11111!!!ONE
group LBs are pretty much scuffed if they don’t fix this.
don’t have an infinite dps rogue on the team? gl placing!
Thats what I usually do…. well…when I’m trying to level an alt…I find myself having more enjoyment leveling my alt myself then having a random high level person come in, open a pit and just offer to level/carry.
This happened to me a lot while playing D 2.
I Love being a low level with other low levels trying to level up, fighting mobs in a team, helping one another while also communicating for a goal. TO me that’s a rare thing to have/do, but it’s so much fun.
Then some high level comes in and disrupts the “leveling journey”!! Grrr!
I end up leaving group when/if everybody wants to be carried or I politely tell the high level that “I’m good, I don’t want to get carried”.
I usually get cursed out because of that though
