this is the ultimate barbarian farming build but requires spec on gear. you will need a very high crit chance for this to be effective and ias is recommended. for more crit chance on gear you can go 2 piece nat set either boots/chc ring, boots/chc helm, or chc helm/chc ring. you will want to get a shield with high crit chance and use an axe.mace with weapons master. you will also want to get 2 puzzle rings 1 for your and 1 for your follower either you can start new game farm for 9 minutes and spawn 2 gobs then reload for another 9 minute cool down or you can wait the first 9 minutes spawn 2 and wait an additional 15 minutes to spawn another set of 2. you will also want to get a gold skin for tons of gold.
all i do with this build is cota or depths 2 mp 10 runs and reload after the first 9 minutes for a shorter cool down on gobs. i hope you guys like this and gl farming.
god mode farming: take 3 more barbs with you with the same build and 3 puzzle rings
side note: you must be wearing puzzle ring for the first 9 minutes in order to spawn gobs after you spawn the first set you can swap out for another ring and put back on in 15 minutes to spawn another.
just spam the shit out of over power/grim harvest and keep up 5 stack frenzy while you birthright
It seems like you'd be better off with an IAS EF in the offhand instead of a shield. Wouldn't .25 more attacks per second and 15% IAS from dual-wielding be better than going from ~70% crit chance to ~80% crit chance on Frenzy and ~90% to ~100% on Birthright?
Running some numbers in a calculator using my gear with a few tweaks (like using a main-hand axe and an EF, both with IAS), I'd go from 2.3088 APS * .815 crit = 1.882 crits per second with a shield to (2.96275 + 2.7685) / 2 APS * .715 crit = 2.049 crits per second with hits from frenzy (not counting attack speed increase from frenzy but I think the effect is similar), or from 2.309 crits per second to 2.579 crits per second with birthright. That's ~11% more crits with birthright and ~9% more crits with frenzy over a given timeframe. It'd be even worse for the shield if I had more crit chance from gear since I'd be capping out Birthright's crit chance more often (I did not penalize it in this case -- I assumed I wouldn't always be at max fury).
It also seems like Frenzy: Sidearm would be better than Maniac as it would produce more hits (and presumably more procs) in the same timeframe.
