Snake eyes has an unorthodox fighting style, and a few dirty moves that make the fight extremely dangerous.
Luckily for me, this is just the type of fight I like to master. It may appear frustrating, but I can assure you, it's all part of the plan. LET'S DANCE.
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.

Solid game with the silenced Kar98k. Mike and I divided and conquered at the end for the chicken dinner.

When the spray above a downed teammate is....just right. Not even one bullet on burst fire mode hits mike.
