Build Guide
This is an experience farming greater rift setup for the Barbarian class for patch 2.3
As always check the video guide for a walkthrough and more detailed explanation of the build.
if your dying a lot, change bash to weapon throw (stupefy)
if your using a hellfire amulet, Brawler is best 5th pass.
if your having trouble maintaining berserker, add cdr to gloves.
use a ruby in helm, purpose of this build is to farm experience.
Updates (09/17/2015)
- Berserker's Rage is 5th best passive /w Hellfire Amulet
- Use Furious Charge / Merciless Assault
- Attack Speed is now priority over Area Damage on Gloves and Weapon
- Vitality is now priority over Critical Hit Chance on Helmet
- Switched from Physical to Cold rune
- Vitality is stacked instead of Strength with Paragons (Add to STR once 1M Health is reached)
because there are several options for that one skill slot, if you watch the video I explain it as the choices pop up on screen.
now its better of fire's seismic slam
Hey mannercookie, in your video you say SS is superior to HoTA. This video is 16 days old. So, do you still believe that? If so, why is everyone running HoTA these days?
yes I recently tested SS @ speed 68 grifts and 75 grifts
SS performance was about 150% better than HOTA's
problem in high grifts is LAG, the build is almost unplayable at most times
If I'm understanding the guide correctly, Attack Speed is preferred over Area Damage on the weapon? Is that due to Area Damage currently being broken?
Just a few quick question for the console version. Since I will be wearing Motrick bracer(cubing BoD) and getting all WOTB runes. Would you drop Vit on the helmet for CHC? Also since I can't control the exact location for FC(either max distance or in front of enemy I lock onto) would it be better to use bolder toss? Last question would you still use threatening shout on the console since we don't have access to 3rd party program to auto spam it? I could see not getting it off with efficiency? Keeping WOTB at times at 20 seconds can prove to be a challenge.
The area damage hot fix went live on consoles tonight is the reason I ask since it should now be viable.
