Diablo 3: Perma WOTB Throwbuild using Bloodshed @
When Blizzard announced that they were gonna change how perma WOTB worked and/or modify how "Into the Fray" rune worked, alot of barbs feared the barbarian class would be gimped into oblivion, and left on the same level where the Demon hunters are today.
This spawned a thread over at the US barb forum were some of the "elder barbs" was discussing ideas, and coming up with new builds focused around the "Bloodshed" rune instead of "Into the Fray".
Thread can be found here:
Bloodshed Build and Theorycrafting @ http://eu.battle.net...opic/7427084666
It was in this thread i realized after much testing it would be possible to run a pure HotA build with perma WOTB without the "Into the Fray" rune.
My first tries to make this worked failed for a simple reason, its impossible sustain a 25fury/sec gain without using a mighty weapon.
This was my first try:

I have been playing around with a few different perma WOTB Bloodsheed HotA builds the last few days.
This is the closest ive been to be able to maintain perma WOTB without "into the fray".
As you can see in the video iam still not able to sustain 25 fury per sec, but i think it would be possible if i used a mighty weapon in my mainhand for the extra fury in combo with "weapons master)
This is also why i skip the elite pack and goblin, as i don't make enough fury from single/few targets without a mighty weapon..

You just need to hit a few thresholds:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: You need a mighty weapon for the extra fury generation in combo with the "Weapons Master" passive
2: You need as high attack speed as you can get, i would recommend hitting the 2.86 breakpoint in WOTB form. (good for your rltw ticks also)

The build : http://eu.battle.net...UQRP!YZg!aZZZcc
There is a few core skills you have to use to make this build work, and some of them you can change around however you see fit.
1 skill: You need make as much fury as you can with your primary attack, so i would recommend using:
Cleave - Rapture: For maximum AOE damage when you kill enemies.
Cleave - Reaping Swing: If you have problems with your fury income, because of low attack speed.
Bash - Pulverize: Same as above, large AOE --> if you have problems with your fury income, because of low attack speed.
2 skill: Gaining all the fury in the world wont help you to keep perma WOTB if you cant dump the fury..
HotA - Smash: Fits perfectly for this build as a fury dump, and massive damage dealer.
3 skill: Can use whatever you want here, but i would recommend a skill that help with your movement
Sprint - RLTW: Overall the skill that fit best with this build in my mind, as you move faster, get fury income, and do damage with it.
Sprint - Marathon: Simply make you run faster between the enemies.
Leap - Any rune: Poor mans teleport with no fury cost.
Furious Change - Stamina: If you having problems with your fury income because of low attack speed.
4 skill: This build is built around using bloodshed as an alternative to "Into the Fray" so you have to use this here.
Battle Rage - Bloodshed
5 skill: Free skillslot where you can use whatever you want. Can list a few examples.
Overpower - Killing spree: Extra critical hit damage is always good
Overpower - Momentum: If you having problems with the fury income.
Warcry - Any rune: if you having problem in the EHP department.
Revenge - Any rune: if you having problem in the EHP department.
Stomp - Any rune: if you want more disable/crowed control.
6 skill: Wrath of the Berserker ofcourse
Wrath of the Berserker - Thrive on Chaos
Passive skills: There is only one slot that mandatory the rest you can pick yourself.
Weapons Master: Need to use this with a mighty weapon in mainhand for the fury income.

A few closing words:
I really enjoy this build as something fresh, and i love to see these large explosions of the mobs blowing up thanks to the bloodshed rune.
If you want to Perma WOTB with a WW/Nado build you can find more information about that in the US thread linked above.
