what is the overall budget of demo video?
sorry if you mentioned it in video, watched just a pieces.
killing speed looks very low, a minute for mp5 elite pack, 10-15 seconds for mp1.. that is just 'meh'
Well.. but you forget, that you are a great support.
I like running with a friend monk, heal with dps boost, mantra of conviction, aoe blinds are really helpful.. they allows me to focus on pure destruction even more
Str on hands/wrists is too low. If you do not have problems with survivabilty - i would trade vit/all res from them to 150+ str. Or just upgrade str, if you have enough gold.
I think it depends on your class also.
As a barb, i feel that the scoundrel is the best due to 3% crit - barbs like crits.
..but i do not like the scoundrel, so i am running MF enchantress with Hellfire ring - it gives additional exp, armor buff, and 3% haste.
but for exp grind on low mp WW is the fastest and works with 2Hs too - WW pretty much kills everything, rend obliterates elites and tornadoes just finish survivors, you do not have to dance like a sissy ) but you will not be able to keep wotb up with 2h, so you lose some runspeed
i have this build now, check my sig if you want
@aldoran: smash is the rune to go. radius may be small, but crits are very high..thunderstrike only works on kill, so for pure dps and high mp level i don't think it's very viable..
about the build itself, besides leap (i'm using overpower - ca) i'm using the same skills and only 2 different runes..my advice: either use wotb-toc & battle rage - into the fray, or use insanity & marauders rage..i'm using the first combo..and regarding passives, you should think about alternatives..i'm using superstition, which helps a lot in certain situations to keep wotb up (e.g. rakanoth & ghom).
thunderstrike does work better for high MP wiht enough dps(~130k is enough for mp8, for example) - i can stay in crowd and survive, and it has a higher aoe dps, than smash rune, because of two main reasons - bigger range -> more fury gain, that allows to spam it.
But it does suck for single targets, tho.
wotb-toc sucks for 2h - you will never get enough fury to get some meaningfull uptime, +=5 sec will not make such difference, like insanity or even slaughter
i do not like smash rune on HotA - the hit area is too slow and it does not give enough fury back, with thunderstrike rune i can stunlock elites, surronded by adds - it helps alot on high mp (i farm mp8 for keys), and i do not even need a basic attack for fury generation.
take a look at build in my sig (no gear in that stupid armory, since i've been doing naked achieve and it recorded me in that state ))
i am using similar build with rend instead of ground stomp - one critical rend kills elite enemy without my influence on mp1 )
also i use other rune for overpower: impact (grants full fury bar in crowd) - it allows to stay in ww/sprint 95% of time, when there are enemies around.
the only thing i've found and using - insanely good fire walkers, 150 str 90 vit, 77 all res, with common 12% run speed and awesome fire effect. a4, mp5, during the ring recipe run.
Barabrian changes are retarded - seems like they are pushing us to S&B tanks. Many enemy pulls, healing based on fury spend and maximum life, nerfing top 3 dpsing passives...
the interview is a ridiculous facepalm. every1 who played the game for a some time know about this little annoying things.. blizzards do not have testers and do not play their own game, so they need such points from commuinty?

In first day of patch 1.0.4 i got 40M nataly chest, and 150M mage amulet few days letter..
since that time i've got only one worthlesss monk head - inna's something (
i've found about 40 legendaries, so the ratio for set items is pretty low

also good skorns with LL are so expensive (

also you need more strength and more crit damage (weapons with CD/socket)

But from my experience, DW hota builds does require a very good weapon to outperform 2Hs
Anyway, impressive video, thumbs up for unusual builds )
