Just wanted to give props and thanks to you MannerCookie for the awesome testing guides and information that you've done for season 3. It was very informative watching your twitch and youtube videos for the past few weeks.
I originally wanted to play a DH for s3 but after seeing the endgame viable playstyle it seems pretty damn boring, so think I'm going to go play a barb with all the recent changes to the class and the more engaging playstyle.
Thanks for posting the build MC. Unfortunately they stealthnerfed slaughter proc coef. from 1.00 to 0.25 a few days ago which is going to suck for mirinae procs but its still really good.

Yea if they did ninja-nerf it does change things but still hard to beat miri in 3rd gem slot.
I`ve been thinking about groupplay also. The new CDR ring randomly lowers the CD of 1 cooldown by 1 sec per rage spend. Is this affected by attackspeed? My thought is to use the ignore pain group buff; can we manage 100% uptime now? (group buff is not affected by pride of cassius so we can use the IK belt).
My setup would by more or less supportive with:
Whirlwind with hurricane pulls in enemies from within 35 yards
Battle rage with bloodshed OR Swords to ploughshares (8% per crit to drop a healthglobe)
Ignore pain with Mob Rule
CoTa rune as you please; either 50% damage reduction or go for the main element (fire/physical)
WoTb: Add bracer; all runes
Final spell is optional: Sprint for speed; Rend for dps/survival or Warcry for survival
Will this work as semi support?
sure but better to have dedicated support than hybrid setups if you want the best performance
Unity/RoRG is the best combo for GRs.

Broken Promises is nerfed to ground, useless salvage now.

IK is preferred for any kind of whirlwind setup

@Mannercookie: Haven't had the chance to get on your stream for a few days now so thanks for sharing the YT vids, cheers
I am excited to see that other weapons will become viable besside the Furnance.
I have a nasty question - Does 6pc IK bonus affects damage from legendary gems or just barb's skills?
All Damage

frenzy's aps buff only applies to frenzy so the only benefit is faster animation of focus buff.
the range of bash is slightly more than exact melee range as well where frenzy requires you to be right at melee range to activate.
5 second buff uptime over 4 second is really beneficial
12% > 10%

At the moment I like 5xIK+3WW for solo Grifting, IK /w Hota for groups.
