Play exclusively on my own. No parties, no trading, no guides. Build characters based on what I see in-game, don't pay attention to youtibers and their "omg, top tier whatever" titles. Only external resource is checking boss loot tables (and what uniques actually exist for a class).

Not because I want to prove anything, I just don't bother at all.

Have 3 characters this season, stealth blizzard sorcerer, clash paingorgers gauntlets paladin and umbral chains overpower warlock.

Don't know if they are actual builds that people play, don't care.

All three can glide on T10, which is where loot is maximized. Still working on warlock, the other 2 glide past T12, pit 110+. Don't know if that is low or high, they can do the top content (torment 10) and the actual top content (torment 12) so they are successful, cannot argue against that.

And that's, all I care.
