Alright. Seismic Slam is gone. Rend has replaced it, and I've lost EQ too in favor of Leap (Iron Impact).
Womp.
It's incredible, whereas I was doing well but having to be very cautious before, now I'm just rocking through runs. Build fury and resil with War Cry, spend that fury on Battle Rage for ultra dps, Leap into the crowd or elite's face and Rend followed by Charge out of the group and into the next, Rend, repeat.
While I'm no expert at this build, since I use a two-hander build that doesn't include WW, I would say right off that the off hand needs higher dps. You ought to be able to find a replacement on the AH, or run the archives of ZK on Act 2 a couple times to find one.
Or, check out my suggestion for a furious charge build in the barbarian forum for a totally different style of play!
So I've not see this build talked about, but I love it. Using Merciless Assault rune with Furious Charge my barb runs through a pack of guys a couple times (4-5 monsters hit and the skill is refreshed instantly) and then runs to safety to Seismic Slam them all down the rest of the way. I've gotten to Infern Act 4 solo doing this, with only minor gear upgrades from the AH (mostly rings with LoH and Life Steal).
If you're looking for another build that's not the WW, I'd recommend trying this one. It's a lot of fun to run back and forth knocking 40+ guys all around, then killin em with 2-3 seismic slams.
FYI, the other skills I use are Overpower (Revel) for when I dash into a big crowd and can instantly go back up to full life. War Cry (Impunity) to keep rage up for SS and not get one shotted by rares. Bash (Instigation) for quick SS build up and the knockback. And EarthQuake (Mountain's Call) so I can dash in the middle of a big crowd, drop EQ to burn them all, then dash out again.
The only part of this build I'm not totally happy with is the Bash. I just can't figure out a good replacement. I really don't like Frenzy, because it's not a stand around and hit guys kind of build, and I can never get the Frenzy to stack long enough to make it worth doing.
Ya I stick to solo games or games with friends. I just cant trust my hardcore character to random people who might just have +mf/gf and trying to farm.
Womp.
