Hmmm, not too sure what I am doing wrong. I have the same everything and I am at 150k thorns. I cant even do GR60. It is not that I am dying, but I am not killing anything. I cant imagine at GR90 with this and mdiocre gear
Well, I tried this build precisely as it set. I tried a simple GR80. I wasn't dying, but it took forever to kill stuff and elites were a no-go. I subbed BoS for PE, and that seemed to work a bit better. I did not even come close to dying, so it is tanky, but it took me 20:28 to clear that simpel GR80 which is no good. I tried my simple bone storm build and completed it in 8:36 without dying. This build is tanky, but does not have the DPS to ever do GR90, at least not for me as I am under P1000. Great defense, NO OFFENSE!
This does look promising and I will give it a try once my gems are leveled. I do have a few questions as this build baffles me with some of your choices:
1- Why do you have CDR prioritized in your Stat Priority? You only have Bone Armor and Blood rush that use cooldowns and they will not benefit much from the CDR.
2- Why SOJ? The primary stats on SOJ are elite damage and guaranteed elemental damage, however, you do not have physical% as a stat priority, why???
3- Why Lornelles? Isn't Unity a better option for solo GR's
4- Wouldn't PE be a better gem than Stricken? Stricken is only good against bosses and elites, why use it for higher GR's?
5- What advantages are there over Bone Storm? Bone storm has a higher damage output with Corpse Lance, why switch? What are the advantages of this build?
Your toughness is waaaaay to low for GR85. I would build that up. You can do this by putting half your Int Paragon points in Vit. You can also try using in geom instead of aether walker in the cube. This works well for a lot. This may work and it may not as everyone's play style is different, but I would try this out! I have almost the identical setup except I dont have a primal starfire :(, and I cleared GR87. the only difference is that my toughness is at 24M and yours is at 16M
I also tried this build and although it kicks @ss, it is way too squishy for super high builds playing solo. Your main problem is 16M toughness, and 718K life. Try bringing that toughness up to 22M, at least. Use your Paragon points for Vit instead of Int. Your damage will still be high enough to drift you through.
You lack toughness! The first thing that I see is 640K life. For GR85, you need to be over 1M. I would recommend using your Paragon points for Vitality instead of Int., or t least use a good balance between the two to give you more toughness.
Diablo 3 is the tenth best selling video game of all time! This is quite an achievement especially with quarterly patches constantly changing the game keeping it from getting boring. Sales will continue and I can see this game hitting within the top 5 of all time sales. Kudos to Blizzard for keeping content active. Every patch feels like I am playing a new aspect of the game, making this the longest game that I have ever played.
That was a basic form letter that went out. Accounts were closed for botting, THUD, and D3H, or the use of any 3rd party programs. It also banned accounts for any automation scripts like AHK or using macros to do more than one action per click. I believe the latter refers to the OP. There is no appeal or 2nd chance. The only way you can return is to buy a new account and start over again while following the end user agreement. EVERYONE got the same letter!
I increased by 3 greater rifts. I went from 83 - 86 solo. Stuck on 87 though, will try again tonight. I did notice that the experience really sucks. I am used to farming experience in 4 man groups prior, but I got more experience from much lower GR's

You have two skills which are on two minute cooldowns. This is not good!
Also, are you not supposed to have bone spear with this build, I don't see it?

I use my speed build to do bounties. When going to a bosses chamber, I teleport back and switch to my GR build before entering.

Nah, the boner build is it! there may be a change next patch, but I doubt it. Just look at how long Archon has dominated the wizard class.

Yup, they nerfed the crap out of it. At this time, the Boner build is the best

Replace Frost Nova with Blizzard Snow Bound, much more effective!

I have also noticed that in 4 man groups, the monster power remained the same when one person left.
