D3 Higher GR Group(s)

NeoNarchy said:
We are currently geared as follow:
NeoNarchy: WD SUP
Syn: Monk SUP
Maniak: Barb SUP
Animaniak:Twiister Wistard

I speak for myself but I am sure all of us wont mind playing with other members pushing Grifts, just remember it was our first push last night we just stated playing these specs so we are still testing it out & gearing.

Right, thanks for that info.

As I said thought I was clear but apparently not that much, so I apologize for that, but I think we got it now.

I totally get that you guys are a core 4 man group that at the end want to push. That's great, I understand that fully and wish you the best of luck.

But that is not what this is about. I'd like all the guys interesting and geared for he roles needed listed so that when there are say 2 or so on and they want to do some runs they can just check who is on and get it going!
Tons of time have been spend gearing and helping others gear who was interested in this venture. We are a clan after all, so we should want to play with each other.
Even if it's just for an hour and you later want to try and push as high as you can when your full group is on.

People indicated here knows that not everyone will have the same skill level or end up being part of the "main" pushing groups when some wants to push as high as then can.

Btw, am I correct in presuming that in the setup in the OP, the DH would be an 'alt' DPS role for when a Wizard isn't available?

I know there was talk of using the DH as support but that would replace the WD. Meta has not yet been finalized. at the moment its all about spawning globes to keep the Wizards arcane power up, seems to work the best for now.

For all the WD's out there take a look at this build :http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Modz-1609/hero/71506067
bit of a variant to the normal SUP WD. increased pickup radius for globes, & using iceblink to get more crits letting other supports spawn more globes. Worked like a dream last night.

I'll have to look back but I think it was there as a 2nd DPS at the start of the season. Less focus was put on single target Globe generation and the DH helped loads with the rift guardian.
The Meta then changed.

Recently I've seen some Support DH builds around, but in all honestly I'm not all to sure where DH's fits in this season. Maybe someone can look into it. It's no surprise I don't know much about DH's :D

*edit*

There you go with above post from Neo

My Bad :) didn't even see must have been updated from original post, I never go back to the FP always just check the last post :)

Only real diff is having spiritwalk. Helps a ton chasing globes & scouting for packs.

We'll have to try DH to see what's what. A Sentry/CA build that depletes hatred very quickly coupled with bracers to regen should be interesting.
You can also drop all def/regen skills, so don't have to do cold/vengeance-seethe etc. Gems probably Trapped/Taeguk/Stricken etc.

You just going to have a big pickup radius or go around picking up globes (less dps)
It can work to some degree, but as the meta currently has show it is far less effective than a Sup WD.

What I was wondering about a LoN Bombardment Crusader. They run around like headless chickens avoiding mobs for 6 seconds then do massive dmg for 1 second or so, so I suppose that can work also?
Globe pickup duty for 6 seconds, when dmg on the grouped mobs / RG. Rinse and repeat.

All in all it is still early, so I'm open to try some things
 
Still hunting for a twisted sword...... makes me mad. Need to keep my limited crafting mats for now so cannot craft this one.
 
Group Managed GR 82 - 13.38.633

+ My Globe Monk is geared and ready if needed

I meant DH as the damage dealer. The thing is that the WD as support doesn't just pick up globes, he also buffs the dps by probably +60 to %120% damage, which the DH can't replicate. If the DH/Cru is there they'll have to make up for the dps buff loss by adding some of their own damage, which could work.

Of course yes. That is what I am talking about also. You will defo need to bring the DPS. It's fact that it will not be as effective as the WD, but can work.
I mentioned "support DH" because that is what I saw somewhere. It will obviously be support with DPS. Someone can look into that.

Here's a profile for it: (Blast character)
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/wudijo-2228/hero/73302192

It's also only support, not dps.
They basically add gear with +pickup range to get higher up, then add some dps buffs and damage reduction for the group. Also running a Solanium to spawn even more globes.

So basically close to the WD, but with less dps and more damage reduction for the group.

Somewhere in the beginning of March my wife is going to visit a friend for a week or so, so then I'll be available long time :p
