2.6 Million or 260K? =D

Azmodan has 138,425,408 health and he killed him in about 51 seconds.
138,425,408/51 = 2,714,223dps = 2.7 million dps

He used 52 seconds.

....thats kind of rediculous

I found a nice Butcher's Sickle and a nice Three Hundredth Spear on the same evening so I figured, eh why not try that throw spec DTX has used. It is super fun. Granted I am nowhere near geared but it's a really interesting way to approach the barbarian. Also, these videos are awesome. All the variants that are tried. Very neat

Anyone willing to bust out their wallet (or have the e-fame to warrant lots of handouts) can manage a build like this. Granted, it's probably going to cost you bare minimum 1,000 bucks if not more, but doable.

If anyone actually manages to get this gear through legitimate means, that is either finding the drops, grinding the money or playing the AH to afford it, I tip my hat to you.

Ranged barb better than ranged classes....ahhh who am I kidding, barb is the best class period.

hahaha so funny how ppl get angry when someone simply pwns them ...

very nice job for dtx gratz hope someday I can do something like this

I don't get the point in him using a Weapon Throw build when he's just standing there taking the blows anyway (it's not just supposed to look cooler, it was also made to have some kiting potential), though by his own calculations even a 2H HotA build didn't pull as much dps, oddly enough. I wonder how WW Barb at such a gear level would compare.

I would honestly be extremely aggravated if Blizzard decided to nerf Barbs off this alone. I agree that there's room for some tweaking but to make the argument that Barbarians are overpowered because they can do over 2 million DPS with virtually the best gear in the game is rather fallacious.

Give anyone enough gear to tank MP10 blows and you'll be seeing them doing millions of DPS, too.

I hate the fact that you have to use one spesific weapon if you wanna go a weapon throw build. (the three hundreth spear).

Just tried the DTX spec and it's the most fun i've had with my barb in weeks! It's not as efficient as ww spec for farming of course but it's so much fun. I don't think you need that much gold to play it too, of course if you want to do mp10 you need ubergear but the rest is doable with a medium budget imo.

This game has nothing to do with skill. It is all about gears. If you have gears like that, you can play with any build just fine.

Agreed, I don't understand why you would use Weapon Throw or Ancient Spear for any reason without that weapon. And if they buff the skills then that weapon will be broken as hell.

I'd call this a MasterCard/no-life "build"...might as well just randomly pick skills and you can still kill anything with that kind of gear.

I wonder how much he spent getting stuff like almost perfect IK's & ammy with 291str, 100cd and 8.5cc...I'm so jealous of his cashflow

It's single player/co-op content. There is no "pwning." You either have the gear to do this or you don't. Only so many people can have the gear simply because of how item affixes roll. His gear literally has some of the best affix rolls possible, and there aren't going to be many of them out there in this great of combination. If he sold his set to someone else, they could literally do the exact same thing he is doing. Sure it's cool to watch, but it's not a measure of skill. He isn't going to die due to life leech with the damage output, and he doesn't need to move, he just needs to stand in one place and click. There's no dodging, no planning, nothing outside of spamming a huge damage move with the gear.

What you see as anger is really people saying, "meh."

Its not OP, before anyone starts to whine. He is a good player because. He got the best items you can get and he experiments with a build, while everyone else copy pastes the WW builds.

There are really not that many variations to play with. There are a lot of abilities and passives, but very few core abilities. Those don't change, only the last few do. He's using Thrive on Chaos and Weapon Throw. These aren't new builds. I was running a life% on hit build with Furious Charge+Dreadnought, Overpower+Revel, and Revenge+Provocation, with Pound of Flesh. It worked really well for quite a while, but to handle the increased damage of higher MPs, I had to switch to something else, so I invested in more life% on gear, got myself to 100k hitpoints, and switched to Whirlwind+Blood Funnel and Inspiring Presence. I still use Furious Charge+Dreadnought for the movability, but changed Revel to Killing Spree to support my life gain. Now are you going to call that a classic Whirlwind build? Because when everyone else was doing Whirlwind+Sprint, I was doing the first build I listed, because that's what I enjoyed, and this new whirlwind build for me is what I enjoy now -- it's what works for me.

People aren't "copying" as much as you think. They are choosing what they like, just like Dex is doing -- that 100th spear weapon dropped so he decided to try a weapon throw build. It's called adapting to the situations around you ;-)

that 100th spear weapon dropped so he decided to try a weapon throw build.

It's cute that you think this dropped. Look at the gear, everything is obviously purchased.
