Hall of Grandmasters map. The uncompletable map

So, is there any broken build there that can complete this map? the CI block guy is cancer, unkillable. There seems to be a couple of ones that ignore your block too, I went with a max block gladiator that should be able to do it easy.
I think the map is stupid I just wanted to get the completion bonus but I see it's a waste of time, you should balance it or remove it from the atlas.

I hear that there are some builds that can do this map. My view is that this is a map most important for testing PVP builds. Since I'm not the least bit interested in PVP, I only ran this map once. (and didn't complete it)

That seems the case. The thing is that some of the grandmasters have old broken builds that were nerfed to players but it seems not to them. The block guy from wave 3 I think regenerates all his ES in 1 sec or less. I think if they balance and update the grandmasters it would be a much enjoyable map instead of being a map designed to detect and test unbalanced broken builds that require nerfs asap.

That said block is one of the most unbalanced things in pvp, if you have a max block character is most likely you won't ever get hit on pvp if your dmg is acceptable too. Only dot builds can compete with those builds.
Evasion and dodge builds are much less efficient compared to block.

The other day on pvp I hit a CI guy with a huge one shot flameblast which took 80% or so of his ES (hard to hit) and he just regenerated all his shield while taking damage in 1 sec or so, and I don't think it was vaal discipline no souls on pvp, I didn't get hit by anything so it wasn't leech either. I see they are nerfing the tankiness of ES characters but I hope they nerf some mechanics like block and insane regen on pvp which also make most endgame content trivial.

Best way to clear grandmasters in my opinion is to use Templar-Inquisitor as it negates the resistances. Skill like Lightning Strike allows you to stay safe distance away from the enemy, while allowing easy conversion of all physical to lightning. Use a good crit sword and Aegis Shield (fight cancer with cancer) and block chance reduction gem is a must.

When Mjölner was not gimped I used shield block gladiator with Mjölner-Discharge to farm grandmasters, it can be quite profitable when you can do it consistently. Note that doing it deathless is never guaranteed, one small mistake or bad timing and you are toast, so you need to be fast player and have a good internet.

You cannot nerf the heroes tho simply because of the promise for the supporters (there used to be Grandmaster supporter pack that allowed you to submit a character you had to be on the map), only way to make it easier would be to make you face less of them at a time. Overall I think the map is fine as it is for it's purpose.

I cleared the map with Scorching Ray. It doesn't Hit, and it lowers enemy resistance, so until it gets some PvP scaling nerfs, possibly in 3.0, you can use a Scorching Ray build to ezmode this Map.

For best results, use Elemental Equilibrium and Flammability to further reduce enemy resistances.

Ok cool thanks for the tips! It seems those may be the builds that can do it. When I get another I'll try that.
I understand the promise to the supporters but some builds were too broken at that time compared to this day.
The map is not bad designed, the waves are not that hard but you can get killed easily if not careful yes but I guess that's part of the challenge. The problem are those specific grandmasters that require specific builds to deal.
I was laughing hard with that CI block one, my character was a gladiator life based max block too and we were hitting face to face each other for half an hour (kidding i didn't wait that long) and while he didn't do almost any dmg to me and I was always almost to kill him he regenerated his shield in less than one sec so we could be there the entire day lol. I think he was leeching with his attacks that I kept blocking. Personally I think that one shouldn't be able to leech if your hit gets blocked, surely you can't leech if you don't hit your hit is evaded or dodged.

Anyway is just a 1% bonus and the loot isn't great either and I will probably erase it from the completed maps along with many others once I get to the Shaper.

Used a CI(11k es), aegis gladiator with.. can't remember what 84k armour or something.. isn't any of them i tried yet that could kill that. A few are annoying like the aegis ones, but then you can just take off all reflect damage and use a damage over time ability like scorching ray to surely bring them down.

Scorching Ray = Easy cheese

The boxes are equal to that of uber Izaro. You can have quality skill gems up to 19%. Currency boxes. Atziri's Disfavor collectable cards. Some of the boxes can be crap loot. Exactly like in a lab.
