How are wizards doing the GRift?
I notice a lot of the leaderboards are using meteor - molten impact. Are they just cheesing the firebird proc?

Can someone show me where these leaderboard are?
I played on the PTR for a bit. Using full firebird with Cindercoat / Magefist. I do a lot of damage but i'm useless solo. My gear probably wasn't perfect, but it was decent.
In groups I burned elites down really fast. I prefer the Molten Impact just because it keeps me active. It also helps to instant stack FB damage.
Edit: For example running Wiz solo in a Trial Rift i did TERRRIBLY. Like Truly terrible. In groups i did double even triple my levels. WD and DH have it easy in Trial Rifts though. Those bastards.

How far you get in trial rifts is pretty irrelevant as of now. Now that you only get a key with 2/3 the level of the trial level you completed, you can just as well fail the first wave and speedrun greater rifts to get to the same level in a comparable amount of time while also getting loot at the same time.

You mean speed run greater rifts to upgrade your rift stone?

Yes, just get a max movement / AoE build (e.g. Wave of Force / max CDR for teleport / Illusionist for movement speed / Warzechian Armguards for movement speed) and speedrun so you skip lots of levels. Depending on the rift layout, you can do levels below 15 or so in 1-3 minutes each. Last time I did that, I went something like 1->11->19->27 whereas the 1, 11 and 19 took <10 minutes combined.

You doing Torment 6? I did some running on the PTR but i never had extra GR stones to upgrade. I always went Rift>Trial>GR

Yes, it helps to instant proc on elites. Though with hydra fix, that build should crawl up too.
Hydra is definitely not fixed. My 2xMammoth Hydras are doing ~28M per tic top now. About the same what they do in live (It's 178% on live and should be 400% on PTR)
