Build Guide

Razor Strop( Legendary Belt) Secondary Effect :

Picking up a Health Globe releases an explosion that deals 300–400% weapon damage as Fire to enemies within 20 yards.

Hey guys, I've been talking with a lot of ppl about this item but none of us took the initiative to actually test it.
Feel free to focus on the Bash too, I'm pretty sure you can get your char to crit 40 mil with it or more with WOTB, I might make another video and post it here focusing on the bash part so I'll change the title when/if I do to not spam the forum.
Also, I have Solanium in main hand for the sake of testing the build, If you craft a Devastator and use Simplicity's Strength, you can deliver quite a blow with bash+ pulverize (bare in mind you also use Depth Diggers which are also easy to find now days, making bash hit like a truck)

Now back to the point: I used all items and skill to maximize health globes, and did not use gems to maximize pet/skills damage just to focus more on the belt:

Battle rage with Swords of the Ploughshares
Threatening Shout with Grim Harvest
Solanium Mace ( Critical Hits have a 3–4% chance to spawn a health globe.)
Rakoff's Glass of Life ( Enemies you kill have a 3–4% additional chance to drop a health globe )

Video with further details and T6 gameplay( easily destroyed even 3 elite packs at the same time, please understand that I cannot go GR 30 with this build on HC simply because it was for testing purposes only+ I play HC)

- So bottom line, Razor strop is a good addition if you have a health globe related build around fire, it can crit for up to 14 mil aoe, even more I'm sure.
- Another advantage would be the extra regeneration you would get from such build, also this will help keeping your pets alive.
- Health globe pickup range is mandatory in my opinion, simply because you can pick up the globes without repositioning or getting away from the mobs you want to AoE
- Whirlwind is kind of a bad idea for a fire build like this, rage and dps wise, also, proc chance of health globes will be ultra low on WW hence not worth it even if the AS is higher( I know once a hour you pop 4-5 globes out of a pack with this, but these events are way too rare to consider something viable)
