TIL that all speed skating world records are set in Salt Lake City and Calgary because the high altitude results in lower air resistance. Separate "sea-level" records are kept to account for this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisโ€ฆ

Highest solo Grift cleared for each build in 2.6.4. (list of world records)

Back in April 2018 I made a spreadsheet containing the world records for every viable endgame build and have maintained it ever since.

However, due to the various buffs in patch 2.6.4., it was no longer up to date, but I have waited a bit to see how things turn out before I make a new list. So, without further ado, here is the spreadsheet for 2.6.4.: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15dMd9N6ZuRaiAp_uks_7HaGtZgfBv1dAzbJXQGP8s-U/edit#gid=0

old list for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XOD11VCEAdoUCmNYUomWqIQpQAGzuR4SnnGqo_EGY20/edit#gid=0

This time, I am asking for your help to keep the list up to date, so I made it editable by everyone (unless I screwed up somewhere in the preferences). Afaik, Blizzard's API does not allow to program any automation regarding the leaderboard, so the only way should be to manually check leaderboard entries ingame, youtube etc.

So if you know of any new world record or want to include a new build (I think it should be grift 110 or so at the minimum), feel free to edit the list or just send me a message to let me know.

Just a note regarding season 16 and the free RoRG buff: Should a world record by achieved in season 16 with an item setup only enabled by making use of the free RoRG, I personally would not consider that clear as such a record would become unbeatable once season 16 has ended.

For records not yet beaten in 2.6.4., I have included the old wr for now. I think it is also interesting to see which builds have never been pushed to their true potential (Helltooth, Zunimassa, Inarius, Akkhan Blessed Shield / Holy Shotgun) or have not improved as much as the set buffs would indicate (also Helltooth; DMO, Sunwuko, Wastes), so I highly encourage everyone to do so.

If you have any suggestions, let me know.
