I've done two other 10 minute samples similar to the way this one structured now, the first was 202 and the second was 196.
If you have any tips on improving these numbers please let me know, although I'm most likely not going to invest in a Nat Set or Lamentation to get the extra max 3% crit chance. I've mainly been doing KD2 for loot so my gear setup is more optimized for that route (more melee reduction than ranged), but I decided to do some XP runs for fun last weekend.
I've been running this build and route for the past few days, and I've been struggling to get it to go as smoothly as you do in your video. As I'm sure you can guess, WotB uptime is a problem. Do you have any tips?
I've only got 5% AS at the moment, and it's my understanding that with WotB you get an extra tick at 9% and 18% when using a Skorn. Since I'm not sure the gear link you posted is accurate (it shows you dual wielding), how much AS did you have when you recorded this?
Also, only the first Rend tick can crit, and thus proc Into the Fray, correct? Even though Rend isn't a significant fury generator compared to Sprint: RLTW, I figure this would mean I want ensure I'm never at max fury right before that first tick.
I think to run AC2 comfortably you need to hit the 1.18 breakpoint. KD2 is a bit more flexible since the density of mobs is higher. 1.09 is possible but it will be a bit rough at the start. I run at 1.18 for all my elite skipping setups.
If you want to make your start very easy you can do what I did in the video. Buy a cheap high LoH and LS (didn't have it in the video but its better than socket) bul kathos solemn vow and switch it in and out.
Yes rend only procs into the fray on the first cast. What I do now is try to guess how much fury I will generate depending on how many mobs are around me. Depending on that, I either use battle rage and sprint or just sprint before hitting rend.
Probably the most important thing in knowing is your crit brawler and and non brawler values. I know that I hit for 3M and stygian crawlers have a max HP of around 3.05M on MP10. So I know that I can just rend and run and they are guaranteed to die if I procced Brawler since they'll likely hit a tornado or two. You should normally run at an MP where your crit brawler rend will hit for 80%+ of the mobs hp so you can just rend and run and think of WW as merely a pathing tool.
Good luck
