Diablo 3 - Greater Rift Tips & Tricks Seasonal/GR Non-Season Pushing

[@Bluddshed]

Stayed up way too late, hopefully I didn't say anything too wild! Ask me questions here or Live at twitch.tv/bluddshed

[@nighthawk82]

some mistakes there: -rift guardians with adds do not have less life than all the others, they have in fact more life (but only like 5-10%) -stinging winds and shrouded moors are arguably at least as good of a map than for example arreat crater. If you're really fishing you should stick to the top 3 you mentioned -you forgot to get more into detail regarding mob types. if you see this video as a noob you get the impression that only big fat mobtypes are worth your time which is not true. there are small mobs that can appear in high numbers for massive progress / Area Dmg (spiders, vile swarms, etc). also it wouldve been helpful to mention the cultist -> thrall transformation for pushing purposes. just some things that I noticed while listening to this video.

[@shmubogdan9624]

thank you! you finally did it :)

[@davidyoshimoto]

Bluddshed - I always get stuck in the transition to end game every season. I get my headrigs gift, farm gear until I can do T13 or speed GR70ish and then I get bored because loot upgrades become so far and few in between. I make alternate characters and then I get lost in the weeds with multiple characters to play and never end up pushing any one of them to 100+ GRs Can you make a video with a list of achievements / goals I should strive for as I progress? Maybe just a list of things to focus on once you are farming T13 and how to get to GR100+

[@shmubogdan9624]

yoshdawg - it's pretty simple: get ancient gear as much as u can. level extra gems to 80 at least for augments. 90+ would be a bit better. get 1000 paragon and go for it. but this means grinding, boring grindind. i barely can do 100 offseason :)

[@d.8580]

Dont care. I love you man. You make it possible for me to enjoy this game with the limited time I have.

[@malataur]

Bludd, thank you so much for this! Wow this is a ton of great information. I actually hate the open maps, so I'm going to have to learn to like them. I love the narrow corridor maps because mobs can only come at you from one direction and I always know I'm going the right direction because there's no branches. I hate the big open maps because I usually get 3-4 elite packs spawn capping the entrance. I will try to learn to like them, though. My highest clear to date is only a 94, so I think this video will really help with that. Thanks man!

[@Greg_Blavet]

Bloodshed, the first guy who couldn't clear a GR lvl 1

[@broogul7335]

He said its a bad map

[@johnhoughland8075]

Dosent matter at all at GR 1

[@davidreed8611]

KZbin needs more videos like this. Hands down one of the BEST videos I've ever watched. I could care less about tier list, or who's crying about what, I want good applicable information. Videos like this, and Duski's rat run's explained videos are prime examples of the kind of videos KZbin needs more of. I'd love to see a meta breakdown series where each roll in the meta was broken down and explained in detail. The internet has enough build guides, but no where is there a comprehensive breakdown of how to do meta runs. Ok I'll stop rambling (long video earned a long comment lol) but great video, I hope to see more like this from you in the future. I don't care how long they are, if your giving good advice I'll watch for hours.

[@Goffeth312]

Re-watching this for the new season, glad you kept everything in one video! Great to use as a reference even a year after

[@SAagreedSA]

First time D3 player after years of D2 in the 2000s and it really is so different. I have appreciated your vids to help me learn the ropes. Got a GR82 solo in season as Rathma's necro today, moving on up at my pace :)

[@chefpunjab]

I could listen and watch your tutorials all day man. Appreciate this one. I'm at this point in diablo where I had questions like this. You and rax are great

[@apoc9ify]

Imho for corpse lancer Hamelin is worse, because when you get that window of LOD you want to hit guardian with everything and not the mobs, which is unavoidable in case Hamelin starts to generate mobs. You have to be extra careful to not activate LOD at the same time. Also if you have Nemesis bracers you can spawn elite with pylon even after you get 100 completion.

[@social3ngin33rin]

Wow!!!! I had no idea about that pylon spawn mechanic

[@robertlacey1390]

Same bro lol.

[@atntpc1]

Ty for the warpath link I had no idea someone spent the time to make that. I’ve know for years this phishing idea but really wasn’t sure what to look for. Appreciate your time.

[@Fencer_Nowa]

this guide is actually helpful as I played the last week of season 13 and that was it so I didn't really learn too much but now I'm back in the game this is great to know about maps and what mobs are good.

[@scottatkinson2977]

Very cool video, totally didn't know about the mob type difference to the GR progression and pylon spawning was explained very well, good luck with the season!

[@trhodes918]

Hey man big fan of your videos. I got into playing D3 on switch a few weeks ago and got a DH to 89GR with your tips much thanks! Im running a multishot build with Envious Blade in the cube in the place where most people would put Dawn and wondering why more people haven't thought of it?! It totally kicks butt, turns the multishot into a one-shotting shotgun in a lot of situations. Thanks again for the tips and videos Bludd!

[@FableBeardCo]

Thank you, my bearded friend, for putting out this video. Keep up the greatness. Hope to work with you in the future.

[@KemiKaze]

I cleared gr100 with these tips, i used to try hard for no reason in trash maps , and i didn't kite elites. Thanks I am happy

[@CapnCrunchESO]

Fantastic video man, thanks so much. I’m currently 104 on the solo WD leaderboards for seasons and trying to push higher!

[@hybridwafer]

Awesome video, loved it, liked it. Had no idea how spawning pylons worked so that was excellent information.

[@seamurda100]

Thank you for sticking with the game. For real. It's not easy when they wont change anything to create hype.

[@unlockablecharacter8134]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like the Diablo 3 monk. This is a beard compliment. I hope you still have it in 2021

[@yosefshukrun9724]

several things 1. You cannot choose which map to start gr because the map is random and there is no way to start gr when the map is not good and then stop get iut of the game and try agian 2. You cannot choose which demons or monsters will encounter you 3. You can't decide which Pylon you will get because the map is random again. 4. The percentage you get at the end of each gr, primal ancient legandery geair is zero-zero because the map is a candle and random

[@gamergeek1905]

Lashers!!! I was running a GR before and just died seemingly randomly.... Now I know! Cool and informative vid!!

[@SPYTHandle]

Wow thanks my man! I play d3 for fun and only hit gr90 but i am liking what i am learning from you! Nice vibe too!

[@heybaeuwb8888]

I had a question, when is being on the leader board a recognizably a good thing . Like make you a player which stands out among others?

[@honestacehole6172]

It’s crazy to see your tattoos. I’ve got very similar stuff on my left arm 😂 damn the tribal era! Love the content

[@icantaim4sht836]

Speaking of unavoidable attacks, Belial was such a prick when I fought him on Torment VII. I wasn't very well geared back then. The whole fight was fine until he was near death and started spamming unavoidable green pools everywhere. They killed me instantly. I tried adding defense, but no amount of defense could keep up with that crap. Finally I went the opposite route. Became a glass cannon, and basically killed him before he could spam it more than twice.

[@nightwing6602]

I’ve gotten two shield pylons in one rift on the same floor so I don’t understand why people say you can’t get the same one twice when I got them back to back within seconds of each other

good vid always is glad to see ppl uploading diablo content, subbed

[@sahvagevamp9917]

Oh no BLUDD don't die. Not every video!

[@Mirsset]

Nice guide. The first good map is Festering Woods tile I think.

[@architectonthejob]

Played for years and you just showed me something new. Appreciate it.

[@eyeh8ppl157]

Hmmm... As a Chicken-Doc, I find it fastest to run from elite pack to elite pack and just kill whatever ends up around them. Kiting mobs takes way too long. Same goes for other "speed" classes. When using AoE damage classes (like multi-shot DH), I get really fast clear speeds spraying while I run and just killing everything before they even get on screen. Again, kiting mobs takes way longer. Maybe it's just me, but kiting died with EQ Rangers, Druids, and Necros :)

[@gibbles010]

none of this really matters on any classes before GR90-100

[@jplflyer]

I agree with you regarding AoE classes. My favorite build is DH Multishot. However, all the top builds seem to be elite farming builds. In the current season, the top DH builds are Shadow Impale and the N6M4 build, which is interesting. There are no DH Multishot builds in the leaderboards at this time (that I can find). I'm not very good at elite pack hunting compared to spray and clear, so the leaderboards are very elusive for me. Getting to GR upper 90s isn't bad, but the top Shadow build is doing nearly 130.

[@kellorol89]

Perdition peek-a-boo just pull a mob to the door and execute the mob there when and if it is perdition you can nuke him when he rears back to one hit ko you just use the door come back rinse wash repeat

[@BEE-qk6ld]

Thanks Bludd. Great vid as always

[@Jasonwizz1]

OMG!!! Lashers, man you just gave me a pts attack. Damn those things back in the old D3 before the over haul to the systems almost made me quit. Act 3 was just nuts cause of those things Under the keep.

[@zigisamblak]

Great video Bluddshed! :) BluddHeart

[@dbdowlen]

I loved the cemetery map, but I hardly ever see it anymore? Do you know if they killed that one off?

[@zeroresistance7203]

all of the bosses make certain animations before they cast a spell, learn the animation and you can juke anything they cast. I think it's only butcher who has a unjukable chain spell that's instant

[@1911Zoey]

Vesalius auto attacks got no counters too. Super annoying when you got no shields or dodge chance.

[@WickedFk8]

how and where do i even go or to start the solo greater rift? nobody has the right answer..is it only for seasonal? i beat the campaign and all i got is the adventure bounties..does it need to be public or private. so confused with this rift thing..

[@bjmadman312]

hey Bluddshed, I've just gotten into D3 again recently. 30 hours into my monk, two items off full WoL sunwuko build. Missing kyo's blade and incense torch.. Two full days of grinding t10 grifts, I just can't seem 2 find them (this is while also upgrading rares and bloodsharding).. Know any ways to increase my chances? Or is this just a case of RNG

[@stompingpeak2043]

I always throw a jem on my upgrade legendary and it gives me good stuff. Yes it might be bullshit but it always seems to do the trick 😂

[@enriquecrispinortiz5862]

Hello Bluddshed ! I've seen some other videos from you and I've noticed in this one you have a better microphone set up. My question here is related about that. What microphone do you use now? any program to give a more deep voice too? or is it just the microphone? I would appreciate so much if you could share this, thank you! :)

[@Faskid86]

Beautiful video Blud

[@dasnerft96]

hey bluddshed I played Monk for 2 seasons now and i really love him, some questions if you have some time to answer :) - What's better in higher rifts in your opinion? sunwuko WoL or LoN WoL? - is sheng long still good at higher rifts? I'm not a top player but from what it works like wouldn't it do amazing dmg against RG (because of the atk speed and bane of the stricken combined) Also i didn't look through all your videos, but do you have a guide on what to look for if you want to speed farm rifts? you mentioned it should be possible to close a rift in about 1 minute with sunwuko (or LoN, not sure) WoL. I was able to do it in about 3 minutes with sunwuko LoN (especially amazing with epiphany)

[@chefpunjab]

Not sure if u have been on his twitch but. He says good morning to everyone and keeps the convos going. One of my favorite twitch/youtubers

[@ukantcmeclearly3250]

Man.. I am such a noob, event at paragon 230, I just flew through rifts.. didn’t even think about fishing for good maps lol

[@Zaqarum0look]

22:22 Screens with bosses are from Polish version of the game

[@kulkutha6148]

I don't mind the unavoidable damage. There's nothing wrong with Blizzard keeping a little difficulty in the game.

[@wesleyy846]

Idk if you said it or not but what torment lvl should I play on for gr farming? What torment lvl do YOU play on when you farm gr? Please respond

[@stompingpeak2043]

The highest you can while playing efficient. Don't play one that takes you 10 minutes to do.

[@jesterfungaming699]

Super nice video, i learned a lot mate, Thx !

[@justsomedude77]

Pylon progression starts at 1% and gains 3% chance of spawning per percentage

[@dirkdiggler4843]

Played hardcore for the first time today in season 17. Died at lvl 10 lol. It was devastating Haha.

[@jacobstory1897]

Thank you for making this video!

[@ArafuraMusic]

The Warpath page is from 2016. Are you sure Blizzard hasn't changed any of the progression for the mob types? I thought they actually changed that a while ago to prevent mob type fishing.

[@ne00ne7]

ya its changed. im NOT an expert but i was told there weren't any very big changes.

[@kilianh.5297]

matching up stat priorities on diablo fans ... how ?? d3planner is clearly the superior site :D i dont get why you dont use it otherwise awesome video thx for all the work you put in

[@RolomirFenrir]

When I spot a hoard of Impalers I drop a slow time giving me time to burn them down.

[@allboutwoop]

Thanks. I learned a lot.

[@fefesophie]

please makea video how to compact mobs on high GR im on 95 as barb cant pass cuz i cant pull mobs and kill all

[@krasus9635]

Very nice video! Keep it going

[@islandwalk.]

quick question for your WoL Monk. I see top builds use 20% fire damage over crit damage on the amulet. is 20% fire damage better than 95~100% crit damage?

[@sandorclegane3658]

ISLANDWALK yes fire damage is better. Getting the perfect amulet of fire, crit, crit is best

[@shmubogdan9624]

ISLANDWALK sometimes

[@tehjoch]

wow I never knew about pylons! Thanks for this video

[@YeDoubleGo]

Cant even play this season cause every time I play it takes me back to the dash board

[@malachijohnson3437]

Thanks man, helped me out quite a bit. Keep on keeping on

[@mickcoram3579]

With Frenzy and you have it stacked 5 times is there anything you have to press that actually does something xtra. because I'm wondering why it would stack a number of times without then doing other things . any help appreciated

[@tylerborntraeger9447]

mick coram if you’re referring to the barbarian’s primary skill frenzy that stacks 5 times, you may be missing the slight increase in attack speed that comes with every stack. Increased attack speed invariably translates to higher dps

[@bogushype4451]

TLDR drag elites to pylons and use the pylon to maximize gains

[@MurowXII]

Nice vid bro :)

[@francoisburger9168]

I would like to know if ya want to work on more speed for WW barb do you go move speed or add on attack speed . this gives me a brain cramp lo.l an I more thing lets say I use WW on prime and I have OUTHKEPER in cube does it work and how would it be applied …

[@danhall5761]

Movement speed affects your movement, attack speed effects your attacks. crazy right?

[@SheltonBlackbirdd]

I subbed you on twitch because of this. It would be cool to play with you, but I’m more on the casual/noob side of the game lol.

[@YamatoNCC1701]

Why are builds different on X1 and PC? For example the multi-shot maurader sux while impale destroys and FB Meteor builds blow goats while DMO FO mops up everything almost instantly? I heard certain things aren't on par with PC and not to kiss up to Bluddshed but he says "play it your way" while most other youtubers say "this is the bestest S build" derp! so I'd like a better point of view from Bluddshed. While I'm here, Bluddshed please mention a recommended paragon level for certain greater rifts. So many tubers say "wizard can do GR117, derp!" but my Paragon721 wizard stuck at GR84. Thanks and stay cool.

[@nighthawk82]

its more about your items and your experience with a particular build (also the things mentioned in this video here obviously help) 2nd most important is paragon / augmenting gear. for reference, i just cleared a 107 solo in hc on my wiz. paragon 880 (but many augments 80). so I think you need to work on the build mechanics as your main priority. the current best wiz builds can easily clear 90+ with no paragon at all if you got the set and supporting legendaries. which stats you need on your items you can easily look for in the many build guides out there. the rest comes naturally (paragon / augment )

[@10runescape]

Pc is also a much different play style, being able to use your mouse with abilities is a huge difference compared to using a controller

[@YamatoNCC1701]

Thanks nighthawk82. I am multitasking Diablo by running S14 wizard, demon hunter and S14 hardcore crusader and I'll focus on better gear for wizard.

[@sammystakethesnake9631]

[@BobMotster]

1. Good gear via RNG 2. Open maps via RNG 3. Good mob types via RNG 4. Good pylons at optimal locations via RNG All in all, everything you need to know about ARPG games in general is that you don't have to know anything at all. If RNG is not with you, no knowledge or preparations will yield satisfactory results.

Whats your highest rift that you achieved with less than 30 seconds to go fishing for maps and force spawning pylons to kill elites and rift guardians after several hundred fails at the same rift? Oh right, you probably didnt even die yet

[@gibbles010]

Area damage isnt a stat that you even encountered as valuable yet for that matter, the single most valuable stat for MOST endgame pushing. Oh yeah, pushing, thats just out the question, you barely started farming basic unaugmented ancient gear and have no legendary gems
