Well, this is what is possible when most of your gear is 95% perfect rolls for all stats. Very nice gear and build. I have been considering trying out a ranged spec recently as my WW spec is starting to get a little stale. I may give this a try later down the line. It obvously wont be as fast for farming, but it may be a better spec for me to run ubers with as I usually 2man them with a DH, sometimes 3 with the DH and a WD (or 2). Seems like it would be fun (though less broken than being able to down IK/Maghda solo through arcane sentries and the bugs without caring whatsoever).
IK Belt has LS on it, I just have around 100-120k dps unbuffed and just that heals me fine, (with rend though). I am sure with his dps he's healing pretty well.
KIlltime with Throw build = 10min and 37sec
Killtime with HotA build = 9min and 14sec
That fit pretty good with my experience ingame also. HotA got the highest single target damage output, throw comes in on second place, and WW is the lowest singel target damage output build. (of the standard 3 barb builds)
But if we try to compare farming speed (xp/hour) the WW build wins hands down, with throw on second place again, and Hota last.
The reason for this is the AOE damage.
All the main damage from WW is aoe spells, with the throw build you have ricochet (hit 3 targets) + Hota (small aoe), and with the HotA build you only have the small aoe from HotA itself + rend (mostly good for heal).
All three builds is viable in high mpl levels, but you have to modify the HotA build a little if you want to play in low mpl levels..
So you can pick the build that suits your playstyle best.
If we look ahead to the pvp patch i think the throw build gonna be the strongest, but we gotto wait and see
Funny thing is Im sure there will be a video of other classes doing this run faster soon, its just barbs are more motivated and less Emo (for the most part, don't hate me good non-barbs! lol)
On another note, anyone else notice the trend I'm seeing with barbs that the records are done with Throw/Hota Barbs, would like to see if a WW barb can come close, but haven't seen it so far. I think the damage ability of WW has been exagerated far to long, no doubting the speed though (I still use it for low level exp/farm runs)

Very nice, I would have accepted the challenge myself but 1) cant fraps on my comp and 2) I'm not a godly geared barb lol
What are the minimal gear and stats requirements for this build? I would assume SoJ and IK belt with TW bonuses and a decent 300'th Spear (SPARTAAAAA!!!)? Would that work with a 2-hander like Skorn? Is Echoing fury required as one of the weapons?
Hey Det0x... looking back over your video and it hit me that you might be able to shave 30sec or more off your HotA time by using Overpower: Crushing Advance or Killing Spree. As Dual wield HotA you can easily keep those rolling at 100% uptime, as for which is better I'm not entirely positive, I'm fairly certain Crushing Advance would be huge on rak/gom.
Not sure if your even interested and retrying it for a better record but I thought I would throw it out there
I actually think this recording is more meaningful compare to all the other world record speedkills since this actually involves a bit more gear balance and skill balance. (Can go all out dps when you have a wiz that perma freeze everything)
Ps.
Only used my own gear. (didn't borrow anything to record this run)
Has anyone tried using HOTA build with a 2 hander? Or are the 1 handers a requirement for the HOTA? The only real concern is the sustainability of the WotB with a 2 hander - that might not work out, has anyone actually tried it?

This is awesome. But the one thing i cannot stand is that its absolutly REQUIRED to have insane IAS and dual wield. I have 189k dps with my current setup as a ww farm barb. But im using a 2h Skorn. I cant even begin to do mp10 let alone ubers on mp5+ b/c of the slow attacking.
I hate how the game is pigeon holed into ludacris IAS. Which is retardedly expensive might i add. Without Mempo's/Lacuni's/Echoing fury, this just isnt possible.

I manged to get the killtime down to 10min and 37sec using my throw build. (used my normal high mpl farming build/gear)

Can any of you godly geared ww+tornado/HotA barbs do a run so we can compare the killtime of the different builds ?

Edit: Lol at the very end. "Die!"
Look a few threads above this one... There is a throw guide in "pinned"
(In depth guide for Inferno Ranged Barbarian)
Since nobody responded i made a Hota build run myself.

Grats.
My results:
Siegebreaker and Kulle killtime = 2 min and 18 sec
Magdha and skeleking killtime = 2 min and 9 sec
Rakanoth and Ghom killtime = 1 min and 7 sec
Total killtime = 5min and 34sec
