I finally broke the paragon 800 mark! I rolled a Demon Hunter, just to keep things fresh, using Unhallowed Essence, I am able to speed run level 55 rifts in 2-4 mins (mostly around the 3 min mark). I not tried to go as high as I can, but I did a 65 quite easily. (although I die a lot as I have 22m toughness, but I can melt mobs)

There will probably be a point where the rift guardian will melt me, just by looking in my direction, but for speed running greater rifts for gem levelling, it's pretty much unrivalled.

I need to see this build in action mate, your wizard was a machine with the explosive train and you are saying this is faster? Makes my runs really slow :( One thing i need to try is the hellfire amulet not tried before and i think i got 4 of the parts?

Probably been asked a ton load of times before...

Is the ocuk clan recruiting? I'm around Para 640 on a crusader, wondering what clan life in this game is like!

Hi if you leave your id we can add you first and then add you into the clan.

DH UE is pretty fast for speed running as it melts trivial mobs and has a lot of mobility as well. I actually find in high grifts it's not the RG that's the problem, rather it's grouping the mobs effectively to get far enough ahead on the timer that you have enough time to actually kill it. Like all builds eventually you have to fish for favourable mob types and density. It's also quite glassy so you have to be able to move effectively, something else I need to work on!

Currently I've cleared a 74 in about 12 minutes but 75 is eluding me. It will happen soon I just need to keep fishing and play better!

OPM and FF Wiz speedrun faster, but it's impressive you managed 55s with UE. DH are such weak speedfarmers, when 60-70 are speedfarmed this season.
 
The DH Unhallowed essence build is what I am running too for my main char, and can confirm Buzz's statement, it is beastly for speedrunning.

EDIT: Seems you guys don't agree, but for me it is beastly lol but I am still a newb compared to some of you guys :D

Oh it's good, and easy to gear and effective at low paragon but outside of Torment X, most people speeds 60-70 with some that speed 70-80, DH sadly don't fit into that.

65 is about the highest I can consistently run in 3-5 minutes. After that mobs have too many hp and you have to stand still too long to burn them down. Any higher than 68 or so and trying to facetank becomes an issue too. My gear is pretty decent so I guess this is about the limit of the build for speed running.

At level 55, I can run the rifts faster in demon hunter than I can my Wizard. Mainly because I clear all mobs before they even appear on the screen, so I just vault around the map spamming multishot and it all dies. It starts to slow down after that because basically if I can't insta pop them, then they will insta pop me, because I am pure glass cannon.

I only have the one ancient for my UE build and that's the bow. I am sure I can improve on it, but I am essentially waiting for an ancient Valla's Bequest to drop, so I can try the LON Strafe build.

Not quite having as much luck with ancients as I did when I was using my Wizard.

What class and build was he playing? It's easy for a support to get into high GR groups.

Yeah I initially thought that then also noticed the clear times were under 4 mins, I could be wrong but sure looked that way.

Nice I'm close to breaking Paragon 800 on season, I think I'm about 773 atm.

Yeah depends on definition of speed tbh, I can do GR60 speeds in 2-4 minutes, GR65 takes longer of course. This is as UE DH.

I can go further with cold Mara spec, did 77 so far (surprisingly still in the top 250 atm).

I can't stand the current high GR meta of stacking twisters in corners, so dull, I can't believe they wanted that in the design, so I haven't done any high GR's in groups for a bit.
 
I haven't tried pushing with another spec yet, I wanted to max out UE first. I think 76-77 is going to be my limit as I don't have the patience or micro skill to get higher!

I might try an M6 setup next once if I can bring myself to level a load more gems for augmenting.

Just 50ish gems are probably OK tbh if you want to test it out, even then just a few.

I find that UE has great damage but is very glass cannon, fun to play though.

M6 cold on the other hand is very controlled and methodical, I never really feel in danger. I did the 77 without even using Awareness toughness is pretty good :)
 
as far as getting better gear goes do you have a better chance just grinding rifts and greater rifts or would just doing bounties be better? I havnt had a new set pattern drop for days now when i used to get 2 or 3 per run.

I found for finding items that hadn't dropped already rifts best but for getting upgraded versions of items I already had either ancient or better rolled stats it was far easier to do bounties and reroll in the cube
