That's the build I'd like to do on my Wizard. I'd be interested to see your build.

Leveled a monk and crusader this season, around GR 65 seem to be upper limit for me solo without getting into major grind for ancients
no sign of unity rings or follower can't die token, which doesn't help.
wanted to try inna generator build for the monk but can't get the other shenlong fist

How are damage bonuses calculated?
If I have a skill that does 300%, an item that boosts it by 100%, a set bonus that boosts it by 400% and a skill/passive/item that does a general boost of 30% what is my total for that skill?
Is it just 300 + 100 + 400 + 30 = 830?
Or do they work on the total of the previous, so +100% of the 300 = 600% and 400% of that is 2400%, etc.?

Some things are additive bonuses, others multiplicative.
I'd suggest go to http://www.d3planner.com/ and import your character,
FYI there's bugs with wizard firebird bonuses this season that are not being fixed, I made a wiz to check it out and it made short order of GR65... i think 103 has been done solo

Must be the way I play then as I have the Firebird set but I'm not even close to being able to do GR65...
And so it continues. We'll eventually be 1-shotting all three new torment difficulties, people will do grift 100+ on day one of a new season and the new torments will eventually become pointless to play.
The game needs a major re-think and change-up. Vanilla D3 was getting there, inferno was real difficult and the whole game was slower paced. Granted, it needed some work from what was originally released, but it's now gone way off in some other direction that isn't Diablo.
Bring back spell trees, stat assignments, runewords, hell mode which is actually difficult (i.e. just bring back the D2 systems and start again from there, taking some hints from PoE/Grim Dawn along the way).
I still love the game, I've spent thousands of hours in it since vanilla beta, but adding more and more torment modes and having no cap on the grift level is getting silly. The only thing to do in the game at the moment is compete on the grift leaderboards which isn't Diablo.
And what's with the retarded percentages and ever growing numbers? That's also getting ridiculous. Bring back having a few thousand health and hitting for not much more. There's no point even showing me damage numbers currently with the size they are.

All Blizzard games have become about exposure. Just having you playing it as much as possible, as long as possible.
I do partially agree, but the game is infinitely more tough than vanilla was. Inferno wasn't even half as difficult as pushing your characters to their limits in greater rifts.
As for Torment rifts being pointless, that's just incorrect and makes it sound like you know nothing about the game. Torment is extremely important for Death's breath and keystones, the 2 most important consumables in the entire game. Having 3 new torment tiers will most likely mean we may get up to 3 Death's breaths per Elite/keystones per rift. New Torments are some of the best content we can hope for outside of an expansion.
Now if only they'd remove randomly generated greater rifts and have a different pre-set rift every week and leaderboards being determined by how many rifts you placed first in... Also no pilons in them and less irellevant stats on gear... Then D3 would be perfect.

pre-set rifts would kill the game for a lot of people, some weeks they likely wouldn't even be worth doing with annoying mobs/map types. People complain but I think a lot enjoy being able to fish for a special one, if you take the randomness out of it, I think it would become boring.
Ok, "pointless" was the wrong word to use.
After a few runs 1-shotting T10, it gets a little tedious. No challenge, barely any upgrades (you get kitted out so quickly these days), the upgrades that I do get are generally from crafting which is just clicking a button in town after I've mindlessly farmed a few hundred or thousand Deaths Breath etc.
It's all just a bit too far gone from what Diablo is all about.
Again, don't get me wrong, I love the game and have spent thousands of hours in it, but the latest few patches and seasons have been meh.

We do need an expansion I agree
Time taken to grind Caldesaans, time taken to get GG gear, time taken to grind paragons and the time taken to fish for that 1/1000 rift...
Top 100 let alone Top 10 is restricted purely to streamers and day jobbers, if you can't play more than 12-16 hours per day and want to be competitive, you're going to have to find a different game. That's the killer for Diablo now.
Blizzard have one of the most accessible shooters in Overwatch that appear to a broad audience, they have the most accessible MMO on the market that does the same. Most accessible MOBA that has a big fanbase, etc. etc.
Their RPG game? Least accessible of any game I've ever seen lol, casual play = having fun in T10 and aiming to beat your PB in GR. 0 chance to compete against other players.

This is so much my thoughts on the game that it's like I wrote it
I know it's a touchy subject for a lot of people but I prefer the Jay Wilson version of the game over what it is now. Jay Wilsons game wasn't perfect, quivers rolling with strength and stuff was silly, but it was heading in a better direction that what we have now with the whole game where all abilities are garbage without a unique item to support them. Losing trading was horrible, it's a core element of these types of games. Diablo 3 just has no depth any more. I'd really love to see it change but I can't see it happening, they'd need "Loot 3.0" and a complete rehash of the skills to do it.
It's a lot of the reasons I play Path of Exile exclusively now rather than Diablo and PoE. I find it closer to a Diablo 2 successor these days than Diablo 3 has been for quite some time.

Problem with D3 1.0 is that people didn't trade items, they sold them.
I wish trading was still allowed minus the RMAH.
Gold is out of control
Damage is out of control to the point you don't pay attention
Kadala gives legendary's far to easy, it's a nice feature but needs change
Crafting needs to be more powerful, and more expensive/harder to acquire mats.
Chat channels needs a complete overhaul so that people interact with each other better.
Ancient items shouldn't have been added, it prolongs the grind, reduce legendary drops since their too high but provide other means not existing now (ie Kadala through multiple methods).
Just some of my personal thoughts. I do like D3 now, and I do think it has a lot of improved things from 1.0 but it could be better, a lot better.

Problem with trading even without RMAH is that people will still sell gear for real money, why that's not necessarily an issue, imagine 2 players competing for #1 spot, and one of them buys a Compass Rose (one of the most aids items to ever try and get good rolls on) with perfect and high rolls, and takes the #1 because of it.
No beuno.
That scenario wouldn't happen, to many factors to get number 1 mostly fishing. Some extra stats wouldn't be the only difference but I get your point but that always happened even with Diablo 2 but wasn't wide spread and wouldn't be easy to buy and sell if it was against tos
