Since I'm not planning on sticking with this season for very long, I decided to try something new for season start, a SSF blast to try for the first solo 150. I succeeded, very narrowly (the person I beat had just completed a 149, we were attempting the 150 clear simultaneously). Bone spear is my favorite build in D3 and it was looking like a viable path to an early 150 (nova necromancer builds are also viable) so I really wanted to give it a shot.
I played this rift exactly how you'd expect somebody who slept 3 bad hours the night before (and played D3 for 26 of the previous 31 hours) to play. I completed my 148 in 8 minutes (and had a much better rift ruined by vesalius a few minutes prior), and I am going to try a mini time attack tomorrow to put a more respectable clear next to my name. But look at it this way: if I can clear a 150 playing like THIS, you can too.
As always, I do not bot or run any non-TOS software/overlays. This clear is completely legitimate.
