Are you guys vying or competing at the leaderboards? Or do you have a solid team for high GR pushing?

I am not even close to being competitive on the leaderboards, I'm currently sitting at 610 on the Wizard board. The guys in the top spots have more primals on a single character than I've seen drop.

I started a week ago and I'm lagging behind too. I'm playing as a Crusader and just managed to clear GR 91 solo; ranked 350ish. I have zero primals. I have seen primals but not for my build.

Ugh. I guess it is back to endless bounties, rifts and grs. Wash, rinse and repeat.

Have you tried reforging?

Last season I had 6 primals. 2 drops and 4 reforged.

I've been gambling with Kadala and I've upgraded some rares with the cube, but I haven't reforged yet. Mostly because I hate running bounties for the act materials. That was the primary reason I was thinking of starting a second character, just to get something a bit faster for clearing bounties.

But why would you need a second character for that? None of them should have any problems with running bounties quickly. And if you just want to do it really quickly, just run bounties on a much lower lower difficulty than your character can play in. Usually you want to run bounties whatever difficulty drops Death's Breath. That's probably what I can start doing.

Running bounties still isn't fun though.

True. And there's a build that increases DB drop by 1. But I don't recall what it is.

You can always join random 4-man teams and you can finish an entire game's bounty set in 20 mins.

I ended up taking a Demon Hunter to 70 last night. The problem with my wizard build for bounties isn't the killing speed, just the general mobility. I don't get a lot of teleport refreshes from Illusionist on T13, so bounties that require me to cover a lot of distance just to get to the objective felt very slow.

DH offers Vault/Tumble plus the 60% movement speed boost from Tactical Advantage and it just feels a good bit faster in bounties where I largely want to ignore everything until I get to my objective. I'm just going to kit it out as a dedicated speed farming build, if nothing else it will mix things up a bit in swapping between that and the Wizard for GR's.

I finished the seasonal journey and the Crusader set is a little more destructive than anticipated.

I don't remember having problems with the Wizard's mobility for bounties, but the Demon Hunter does have awesome mobility.

Upcoming Sunday? gotta start that grind for gear....

The downside of two characters, I got my first primal for the demon hunter. At least it was something I could use temporarily.

Pickups usually for the character you're playing as though right? I might, you're very unlikely to get a Demon Hunter item like that when using the a Wizard right?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to drop wizard equipment on the DH, it started it just to farm bounties for the crafting materials. I was just amused that I dropped one in practically the first day of playing the DH after all the farming, gambling and upgrading I did with my wizard.

I just ended up replacing the primal with a normal Yang's Recurve. Still ended up being a massive damage boost just from the Multishot bonus along with the resource cost reduction.
