I have come to the conclusion that the game wants me to play a firebirds build and that tal rasha is not for me. After 100 paragon levels and all my blood shards, I have one belt and its crap. I swear I have had the full firebirds twice over though...so going to start using them now.
Me and some friends have decided to push the 3 and 4 man leaderboards witchdoctor-less to see if we can get top 50. Team will be support monk, support crusader and two DH. I'm not running the typical quin69 leeching monk, I'm going to be running Innas support monk!
If anyone has any tips/knowledge to share we are all ears!

If you are aiming that high you need a Witch Doctor, there's no other way. No other class can provide as many buffs as a WD can and no one else can lock down monsters as well as they can. As soon as you hit 50 - 52, your DPS will instantly die from jailer, frozen, reflect and probably plagued. These are instant damage and you can't avoid them so you need to have elites crowd controlled properly or your DPS are going to chain die. Also, any hit from any mob such as a random arrow from a Skeleton Archer will instantly kill your DPS. Once you hit around 56-59, those arrows will also instantly kill you. From around 55 harding hitting stuff from trash will also kill you immediately (such as Succubus' projectiles or exploding Grostesque's).
Was running a few solo GRs the other day and in general the high level ones are not too bad these days, single target damage with whirlwind is much better than charge build. Have managed a 50 so far. Was trying a 49 the other day and got blighter as the boss.
Whirlwind against Blighter sucks. It took me 12+ minutes to kill him as I can’t get anywhere near the guy. Tis a silly game sometimes.

I don't get to play as much as I'd like, so my seasonal gear isn't all that. Just got M6 on my DH, marched confidently into T6 amd got repeatedly killed on an open map with lots of charging mobs. I forgot how squishy DHs are without double Unity 
Thinking of levelling another character now!

I'd say at least 2-3 months.
I still can't get the wastes gloves or chest for my Barb. I've been running 4 man lootshare groups and everything and spending all my shards on chest/gloves and they just won't appear.
I have got both BK weapons now though, not great rolls but they should work well with the wastes set until I get an ancient IK.

That's the fun of it dude! We did a 52 last night with relative ease. Multishot can hit elites from outside of their affix ranges too. Not sure if I'll get one shot though as 75% dodge is pretty insane and when my gear is better optimised I'll be sitting at 2k res all, 18k armor and 1mill HP. As Inna's gives the 10% damage buff I might drop toxin for the melee dmg reduction gem too. I'm thinking with the right rifts, it'll be easy. My demon rats can dodge jailer and other affixes with my agility mantra too. 60 without a WD isn't unachievable man, determination and a decent rift it'll be easy.
Could some kind soul give me a minute?
I wanted to buy this game for a long time, But it was bugged at 60hz vsync for a long time. I just found a google post about everything being fixed in 2.2? Can someone confirm that you can use ingame vsync and get proper 120hz or 120fps?

don't have a posh monitor sorry, I just turn vsync off and fix the game at 61fps on the slider in the video menu myself. I have a 290x ref so its LOUD if I let it doo 200fps when im playing
Managed a GR 41 solo yesterday, some better bracers and 2 ancient weapons should push me a fair bit further. Not bad for only starting to really play Season 3 about a week ago.
I can't for the life of me get chance to freeze on hit to roll on my belt though.

Hey, although they added the option of higher HZ in the game menu some patches ago, it's actually more broken in 2.2
I've found the only way to get smooth gameplay is by using vsync @ 60hz.
Even when the game runs at 120fps/120hz it doesn't play silky smooth, I don't think they game was every designed around working well at higher than 60fps. Lots of microstutter etc.
