I tried doing T6 in a group with my DH - was getting one shotted by the rift guardian,or some of the blues if I could not kite away from them.
Either I need more toughness or I need to up my damage.

I have very good gear on my mages and still get 1 shotted on bad packs on t6. Did a bunch of runs with hh and a few others from here and we smashed it, did some with another group and died a lot. I think it depends on who your with unless your solo and having problems? Solo I do t5 for speed myself. Can do t6 but can pretty much shave 40% clear time off dropping 1 level.
Get the full Marauders set, my brother's DH destroys T4/5 and T6 will be viable with a bit more DPS which he can get with a few better rolls etc.
You need enough toughness to take a couple of shots just in case, but generally the aim is to kill them before they kill you, especially in T6.
It does massively depend on who you're with, even if you have a T6 viable character you can still get destroyed in a group of 4 if they suck or don't mob manage properly. Some groups split up, leave mobs, go too fast for their own good etc.
T5 is viable on my EQ barb now
. Once I get my Harrington's (bloody thing won't drop for me) and maybe another Unity T6 should be viable. Or I could get some sort of Pride of Cassius build going (the 4 second Ignore Pain belt) as that'll mean I'll stun for 3 seconds on leap land, then ignore pain once they're onto me by which time T6 stuff should be dead.A lot of it is your play style as well. When I first got this EQ build going I died all the time in T4 as I was used to whirlwinding and tanking everything. Now I rarely die in T4 and haven't upgraded anything
Could also do with a helmet that doesn't completely suck and some shoulders with CDR and a new amulet would be nice (one of the resist element ones or CD/CC/fire damage)

Had a few t3 rift runs last night on WD, zero upgrades dropped, although i did pick up a ceremonial knife i didnt have previously (anassi edge or something?) and another Grin Reaper (sharded as worse than my banked one). Gambling boots still not a single set item drop from Kadala on all my toons.
Having fun on WD though, once you get all the little guys out its hilarious, stuff just melts, pop BBV and its crazy. Going to try ramping up to T4 tonight, should be doable but i forsee more deaths if im not on me toes lol.
Can still die on t3 if i get lazy like walled or jailed into arcane or dessi or something.

Now imagine you have 4 pieces of zunimmasa's set (or 3+ring), starmetal kukri and carnival mask ;] small army of shooting psychopats with endless BBV...nothing can stop you.

Thanks. I was mucking around with my build last night and due to the Ring of Royal Grandeur I have the full Blackthorne's set bonus and the 4 set bonus for the Maruader's set.
Although base DPS has only gone down slightly,peak DPS against Elites is around 10% to 15% less,although I have all the pets now!!

I have RRoG on my WD, have Zuni helm though
and Zuni offhand, i picked up a nice SoJ yesterday but it was cold based, so banking it if i ever get enough Jade to run a dot build, i have Quetzl in the bank also, i think the only Voodoo mask i dont have is Carnevil actually.Still hoping to get a Tallmans finger, debating what element to spec also for pet build, Fire could be good if i can find a Cindercoat, Fire neck, fire bracer, fire SoJ.
I hear its not worth using 4 piece Zuni though til they fix the proc on it as it currenly overwrites FA fetishes.
Seems for Pet doctors, Physcial, Fire and Poison are all valid specs now
That is correct but...if you don't mind to use poison dart+carnival mask, all fetishes will do poison dmg with all amplifications you have, it doesn't matter they are from FA or passive skill. Additionaly, if you have Kukri, you can refresh you army every 15-20sec. It is extremaly powerfull build, espacially for single target.

Found an awesome tip on reddit for bounties.
Recently found out about this rimeheart shattering build for monk that is viable for T6 solo. Problem is it's basically the rarest 1 hander in the game. 1% drop rate for 1 handers
Guestimating at approx 1 legendary 1 hander every thousand shards from kadala you are talking 100k shards gambled before you could expect to get one.
So yeah...

I've played about 200 hours since RoS launch (yeah I'm an addict) and I've seen rimeheart once.

Hi - it is really down to what kind of WD build you want but if your are aiming for a pet build ie zookeeper/fetish.
i would recommend keeping an eye on the following
Mask of Jeram - This helm is a must imo. pets do 78%-100% damage. (depending on roll)
Tasker and Theo - these gloves again are high end for pets. They give pets up to 50% attack speed.
Tall man's Finger - This is excellent. Huge dog that combines all your seperate dogs strengths together which you can buff with passives and items. I can now do T5/6 as a fire or Poison dog absolutely destroys things better than the fetishes imo.
Fire Dog - better for multi targets
Poison Dog - does better damage but only 1 target at an instance.
(Obviously if you can get trifecta on these items that would make them perfect.)
I have full Zunni too but it can only currently spawn 8 fetish, where the passive can can spawn up to 15 iirc. So you dont really need zunni unless you have a carnevil or something where you need to keep the fetish in a certain position.
One advantage is with Zunni is it can free up a passive slot but again it down to how you want your setup to be.
Thats really good to know might give it a try. Cheers
