*Bul Kathos - (Zdps) vit/cdr/life per fury/socket + (str > average damage)
*Blade of the Tribes - (Leap) % damage/Str/life per fury/Socket (Possible Variants) area damage or vit > life per fury
(Cube) Standoff, Solanium, The Furnace
Rings:
*Focus/Restraint - (FC Grift/Leap) area damage/crit chance/crit damage/socket
*Occulus ring - (Zdps) 85% bonus damage, crit/cooldown/vit/socket
*Avarice Band - (FC T10) Str/Crit Damage/Crit Chance/Socket
*Stone of Jordan - (FC T10) Physical %/Crit Damage/Elite Damage/Socket
*Band of Might - (Zdps) crit/cooldown/vit/socket
(Cube) Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac, Royal Ring, Band of Might
Fantastic post - Really reaching out to the community.
Really cheeky question to follow: I was reading a Season 4 preparation post, can't remember who by, and it was stated they use a 'cheat sheet' for their levelling process. e.g. level 'x' apply 'x' skill to 'x' button, level 'x' apply 'x' rune to skill on 'x' button. Do you use anything like this and have anything to pass to the community?
I do not, I just kinda wing it. The lvling process is so fast (around 4 hours so I don't take it too seriously) I mainly use whirlwind windshear and things like earthquake: mountains call, cleave is good early on, ect.
One question/request, could you edit your post in that way, that you add new header that shows Cube item selection too. I know you can see it, if you read whole post, but its easier to check your guide later, if you only want to see those "Cube only" selected items.
Thanks for this guide!
I figure it was easier to sort items by item type so if someone finds an item they are not sure is useful or not they can look in the item types list.
The 255% speed whirlwind build is the same thing you just linked oni just a few diff runes(which is personal pref on those anyway). Just using stuff to go faster. Look at it.
Do you believe this build to be obsoleted by your other builds or do you think there's still a place for it?
it still works for higher torments if you desire to do them but the other build has better efficiency overall in torment 8. I find t9/10 to be kinda bad
Hi Chainer, I've been watching a lot of your videos and I was really interested in the zdps build but you haven't made a guide on it like you did for your other videos after the ptr closed and I saw a comment talking about how zdps barb is dead. Could you comment on that? I haven't found anything except one person mentioning that they might remove vigilance from the barb's cube options, is that why it is dead now? If so, that's a bummer, my buddy and I were both going to roll with barbs and have one support and one hammer.
Is the Raekors set obselete now compared to immortal kings+HoTa?
If you have IK6 and Raekor4, in theory it shouldn't be so... you have high AOE and decent STD (if you use HotA). FC will be dealing about [(1050+35X)%*3.5*2.25*1.5] if you have VW cubed.
I converted your gear collection guide into a spreadsheet for readability. I sent you a link to it in a private message. Feel free to use and share it as you see fit.
Hope it provides a benefit!

Great post Chainer - thanks a lot for testing so much on PTR and posting all your builds!
Could you also add which potion is the best if it is different for each spec?
Didn't see one my favorite builds of yours in this post:
2.3 T10 Speed Farm Barb (Whirlwind/Furious Charge)

Your my go to guy far Barbarian info. Thanks Chainer.
I've been using this Build, and really rocking the House currently.
Easy 50+ GRift Build
I see a lot of Area Damage in your guides. With the recent news about AD is this still a viable stat for Barbs?
Is the Raekors set obselete now compared to immortal kings+HoTa?
If you have IK6 and Raekor4, in theory it shouldn't be so... you have high AOE and decent STD (if you use HotA). FC will be dealing about [(1050+35X)%*3.5*2.25*1.5] if you have VW cubed.
I see you have Area dmg on BK Swords for WW, do i want CDR or AD? rerolling is a bitch if u make a mistake on ancient findings.
Hi chainer.
I`m having some problems to go further than 62

I didn`t know that AD is bugged, i was using on shoulder and rings.
I`m doing something wroong ? You go with all red gems on chest and pants ?
Thanks !
