No epic death story. I was carrying a guy on my crusader in torment 3 rifts. I've used this Stampede build for 2 days now and it absolutely rocks. It's very fun and it's very effective. I was about to write a guide, but I guess I'll have to postpone that lol.

Everything is recorded. The funny thing is I was playing the Rains of Castamere on my own funeral.

So what exactly happened? My wifi is acting all strange lately. I got a 2second freeze at the Rift Guardian. I didn't want to take any chances so I immediately alt-tabbed and disconnected my wifi and reconnected. I did this so fast that the server didn't even notice that my internet was offline. Turns out it was my own ISP and/or router. When I was back in the game everything fast forwarded. Because it was only T3 I didn't use prophet/indestructible and the other guy didn't have any DPS. Turns out Saxtris the weakest Rift Guardian in the game summoned some mobs and killed me.

The gear was pretty epic, but I don't get attached to items much. Just feeling a little bummed that I couldn't try my Tasker and Teo with the Phalanx from my weapon. I was about to test that after I finished that guy. I guess that will have to wait.

The Stampede build is really amazing. It feels like a holy shotgun sader and blessed shield sader combined. Aslong as the mobs have big hitboxes your horses can hit the same mob thrice. You can even stunlock the Rift Guardian. In the first video @ 0:22 you'll see my Bombardment critting for 140million. This is without physical damage from my bracers. 200million+ crits are definitely possible (my weapon didn't have 10%dmg)

The Baleful Remnant phalanx AI is really stupid, but when they hit they hit BIG. Maybe it works with Tasker and Teo I don't know. They only spawn when YOU get the kill and not when your party members get the kill. In patch 2.1 they are going to change this so they always spawn. Looks promising.

The crusade has to march on. So I'm back on my Darklight/Holy Shotgun for now. I'm definitely going to remake this build and I will write a guide when I'm done.

The Hildegards send their regards.

Sorry to read that your ‘Sader has fallen, Hildegard.

Although it may not be feasible for you to do, I strongly encourage you to try and get set up on a direct connection. For the longest time I too was on wifi and only recently had a new service installed within direct range of my system - the difference in performance was night and day. In case you'd like to reference our general connection troubleshooting tips, they can be found here.

Best of luck to your new adventurer! May the enemies sing haunted tales of your victories!
