ENDGAME BUILD. 38 SECOND KILL. Melee, bleed spec. This worked out better than I thought it would. (link to build: https://imgur.com/a/dD7W2Dz). Boss fight starts 00:20. Boss dies 00:58. Character screen 01:18. Game difficulty setting screen 02:20.
Boss kill time: 38 seconds total - but it only took 7 seconds to kill the boss with melee (6 seconds at the start, and 1 second after he regenerates), excluding add kill time and boss regeneration time.
Difficulty scaling: Hard +20
Trait requirement - 80 (kingslayer, catalyst, warrior, executioner)
Gear overview (text):
Primary weapon: Repeater pistol +20, slotted Hunter's Mark MOD, for 15% crit chance
Secondary weapon: Beam rifle +20, slotted Hot Shot/Song of Swords MOD, for boss burn
Melee weapon: World Breaker +10, high dmg and AoE knockback
Armor: Akari set x3 (from the 3 rods event in act 2)
Amulet: Pocket watch (more rolling, optional)
Ring 1: Razor Stone (mandatory, bleed dmg)
Ring 2: Devouring Loop (mandatory, big proc)
Key traits to focus on: Executioner (crit chance), Catalyst (makes the ring proc go up), Kingslayer (crit dmg), and Warrior (melee dmg bonus).

After training countless hours with Seven Spears and the Centipede Giraffe, I came back to Genichiro. I was trained well.
Good fight.

We only saw one other team parachute to the Military base (via Jeep they stole from Mike). The circle was going to push them back off the base, over the bridge. I was waiting for them. They ended up delivering ALL the military base loot right to us.

ENDGAME BUILD UPDATE: Testing after patch in 187+ SOLO. How does the spec perform now in the 187 rift? As expected, not as fast as before. 00:55 changes to the bleeding edge node, 01:56 changes to gems in rings/belt, 02:38 rift opened, 03:17 mini boss one, 07:13 mini boss two, 18:35 final boss fight begins, 23:23 final boss dies, 23:35 final thoughts.
SMALL CHANGE TO THE BUILD: Gems swap to transfer time reduction in belt/rings, and switch the node for bleeding edge "Unstoppable Momentum" with "Will-o'-the-wisp". Bleeding edge ailments now switch to Burn / Stasis (SWEET). I think switching to 2-hander might also be ideal in the future. Assuming I can get dodge chance higher, the 2-hander swap might allow for a much higher damage threshold now. (original build before the nerf: https://youtu.be/YbxnyM5BlOk - more links for the build are listed below)
Preliminary testing suggests it might be MORE optimal to skip the mini bosses, and only clear side areas / vendor spawn / final boss. The mini boss HP is too high now relative to our damage output. It feels a LOT slower now. The final boss with 84 million HP took almost 5 minutes of rolling around to DPS down. Still need to test Untainted runs.
I also have not had a chance to change any gear from before the patch, so more optimizations are needed now. I will be looking for a big 2-hander with Aether dominant damage specifically, and gear rolled with transfer time reduction and high dodge chance.
