The Pit is designed for you to hit a wall, and not be clearable.
There’s a reason why you get the last type of material you need at level 61.
After that its just something for you to see how high you can push the pit.

Yeah I think it’s designed with future seasons and the expansion in mind.

That’s both idiotic and frankly cruel.

whats idiotic and “cruel” about that?
Why?
Mount Everest exists. I will never climb it.
People have walked on the moon. I will never even go to outer space.
Some things in life just aren’t achievable. It’s fine if getting to 120+ Pits isn’t either. I’m stuck in the 90s, but I can make gear improvements. Doubt I’ll get too much higher with some Ubers. Room for more next Season!

GR150 was there for years before we got builds that could beat it. As said, it’s there to grow into.

Bone/Minion Necro.
Got a Barb and Sorc coming up, but Minion is solid. Need Shako and Grandfather, possibly Tyreal’s Might.
Sorc melts face, but haven’t done much climbing. Frost Orb feels squishy without Flame Shield now, but I’m sure I’m doing it wrong.

im currently a shadow summon necro, but ill for sure test all the new viable necro builds this season as necromancer is the class i always end up playing in every season anyway 
guess my next necro will be bone minion then. did you put thorns into the build?
(a thing i like about this season a lot btw, you cant just easily pick a “perfect build”. there are quite some variables and im pretty sure the tierlists might change here and there in the next 1-2 weeks.)
Oh yeah. Not majoring in Thorns, but I do slot it as a priority. No Razorplate or anything.
Bone Spear mostly blows everything up. Thorns is supplemental for AoE and works great on bosses.
this is bad game design, difficulty is a progression, not game way too easy to getting 1 shot. Bad design.
ah good to know! i was wondering about the bone spear summoners and their need for razorplate ^^ thanks <3
the pit has 200 tiers. how many more do you need for a smoother progression? genuine question.
haven’t even played in the pit yet, I’m mostly complaining about these hellchamp guys spawning in who are 40x stronger than capstone Dungeon boss and are basically 1-shotting my barb who has 10k armor and damn near 80% DR with shouts enabled.
Gonna play something else, lmk when they fix this broke game.
65-70 is pretty much build-complete, imo. Anything after that is gravy on the challenge train.
Choo-choo! All aboard!
i assume you play with legacy gear? anyway, hf with whatever game.
you think? i mean i got 78 done and my build right now has quite some room for more. like, i only have one!!! 2 GA item (yea… my luck sucks ^^)
what i like about the pit is that it trains you to dodge stuff really. i mean, since they make the early game this easy for d4, i for sure hope they stick to endgame challenges.

Razorplate would skyrocket thorns. It just does, especially with Greater Affixes and Masterwork.
Bone Spear hits for less with minions, no two ways about that. I also don’t take tye Minion Board 1st (I think mine is 3rd or 4th). But the minions do their job, get hit, and take them for me. Not using Army of the Dead, nor Golem. Heresay, I know! I might play with Iron Golem though, as tyat pull/slam looks attractive.
Near permanent uptime with Bone Storm (mostly for the DR) has been nice.
god, i kinda miss that =D i can adjust my build to use it as well, but it will lead to a damage loss. bone storm makes a necro almost invincible tho

Oh I know there’s more. But if you can do 65-70 comfortably with your chosen build, I’d call that a win and exclaim you can do 100% of the content in S4.
PS - Does Infinimist still function? Considered it with a thorns build, but haven’t taken a second look at it since PTR.
infinimist does still work, as far as i know, but id assume itd say its weaker than the current poular choices. i mean its hard to tell, im pretty sure the tier lists will change a bit in the next week, since you know, there are many options available, and all of the adjustments werent clear since the ptr ^^
check your bnet btw =P!
Yeah, but it’d just be pure Thorns rather than Mist damage. Thorns gets crazy. Only big issue I see is reviving minions (since you aren’t Misted) if you go too deep and they die too fast.
I might try it on a second Necro.
