since i finally got my second unity i started pushing solo grs with the bk set. My best is 49 atm. The thing is that there are so many variations for the bk setup and i was wondeering which one you guys think is the best for 50+? I tried all kinds of variations with unity coe and zodiac plus cdr gem and rerolls. I also expirimented with the ancients, rend, overpower, berserker rage, brawl, and boon of bk but i never came to a good solution.
If you are using BK I think the best setup is using F&R. Because unity is not necessary to reach higher grifts such as 55 grift. If you insist on using unity, try using it with COE.
But this is the build i suggest you try.
get cdr from as much items as possible (hopefully from all the items where you can get cdr), use gogok gem with at least level 25, get cassius belt with 6 sec increase, use ignorance is bliss for survival. You will find yourself turning into a zombi even with F&R instead of unity.
people are going up to grift 55 with this build, i went up to 50 and i dont even have ancient bk set. and if you are saying 55 is too low then i dont know what kind of briliant setting you play with?
of course with my build you need to do some control. Use war cry + bk set + furious charge ( furious charge trigger f&r too) for resource regen which is more resource than you need. use the movement while spinning to doge ranged attacks. Always look for packs but never spin in single location always spin across the pack.
I appreciate your concerns but never look down on other peopls build if you never even tried it.
Finally got a gr 50 down with unity+coe but i used berserker rage instead of rampage because i believe that rampage offers more dmg on trash mobs but no dmg increase on the guardian. But i was wondering if my idea is right and how much dmg 25% more strength (based on 10477 str) really are compared to the 25% from berserker rage.
I also tried out the zodiac cdr setup with with unity/coe. Without unity i got my ass whooped and with unity i felt like i was missing dmg. But with a very good rift i have no doubt that you can clear a really high gr using zodiac+coe with the right setup. On EU the number 2 barb cleared a 57 gr with the zodiac and coe setup. I heard something about him snapshotting the attack speed increase from pain enhancer with ww. No idea if this is true but it sounds interesting.
I found that survival wise F+R caused big issues at 50, maybe it's doable when you're sitting on 800 Paragon level but I got completely murdered, even at over 120mil toughness you can get one-shot by some mobs in 51 rifts without Unity. The damage on F+R is without question awesome, but the issues to survive are real..
And this is with an Ancient String of Ears and Eye of Etlitch equipped (37% ranged reduction, 25% melee reduction, 11% elite reduction) etc.
I've seen so many barbarians get stuck at the 49-52 range using a F+R setup purely because they get slaughtered.. It's probably doable with a higher Paragon level since your toughness and damage are both much higher than someone at lower levels, people don't realise how much of a difference Paragon makes when discussing this stuff.
Hey guys,
since i finally got my second unity i started pushing solo grs with the bk set. My best is 49 atm. The thing is that there are so many variations for the bk setup and i was wondeering which one you guys think is the best for 50+? I tried all kinds of variations with unity coe and zodiac plus cdr gem and rerolls. I also expirimented with the ancients, rend, overpower, berserker rage, brawl, and boon of bk but i never came to a good solution.
Hope you guys can give me some solid advice.
Thanks!
