OK, so Swayze asked "what is the highest torrent level of rift you have soloed".

Good question. Up until now, T4, and it was manageable.

So what the hell, I thought, let's try a T6 and see what happens. Here are the findings:

Elite packs/monsters encountered: 11 (more on that later)
Deaths: Around 10 (more on that later)
Legendaries found: 1 (!#$#$!#$!!!!) more on that later...
Time to complete: 2 beer (more of them later)
Plus 1 conduit (surrounding attack) that help the kill count, but didn't get to any elites.

Now, I didn't change my set up at all for this... just dove in. I got caught three times in bad situations where I died up to about the 98% killed area... then BOOM.

The last bit was nasty. Two separate elites with extra health AND the rift boss spawning at the same time. I died many times getting through that, unfortunately, but hey the finish line was there!

TOTALLY disappointed in the lack of legendary drops going through this, but it just adds to a bad day. Including the one I got, I have only found two in the last five rifts today. Truly bad luck....

Yes, I took a bit of time to do it, but I DID it dammit! You have to remember, games for my generation usually involved sticks, eating dirt and Matchbox cars.

My first RPG was Pong... "Hey, I am a paddle this time....again.... COOL!!"

Glad vchoychoy and photon were around to jump in for the last strikes and get a bunch of shards out of it. And they are my witnesses, so help me Blizz! LOL. I did it.

Had that run resulted in a crapload of legendaries, I might do it again... but not now... not yet. One Schafer's Hammer wasn't reward enough.... Enjoyed the beer though.
