I did not have any problems in normal and nightmare. now in hell the mobs hit harder though, and I noticed a lack of control. Normaly I just use all the buffs I have and then cleave my way trough the mobs, with shockwave as AoE and also if I get surrounded ( knockback lets me run away ). Revenge is only in my build since I entered hell mode, was sprint before.
Ok, build question : I know the classical ww and rend/Hota builds. Both require more gear than I have during leveling. So is there a good leveling build ? What I am looking for is mainly more control. More "oh shit" keys like ground stomp or whatnot that let me get away from combat if I need so.
build question for lvl 60 : I dont wanna go all offensive. I have a SC ww barb and he dies enugh to make me scared to use WW in HC. Way back when the game was released, I played my barb with shield and with revenge, very very defensive build ( this build : http://eu.battle.net...kRVP!Vbe!accacZ ) and with 70k+ life and 850+ all resists before warcry. Would that be viable in HC ? It was veeeeery slow though, I would love not to have to use this build. Can you do the normal ww or hota/rend build just with a shield instead of dualwielding ?
Gameplay question : Back when I still struggled with Inferno after release, the bosses all had enrage timers ( like the butcher where the entire floor stood on fire permanently after 3 minutes. ). Do these boss enrages still exist ? It's what I am scared of most, dying to a boss that enrages.
Frenzy (with any rune general, maniac is the best, but it requires lvl 59) for single target and rend for multiple targets (with the 2nd rune, life steal) help you take care of most things.
I dont like frenzy because of the reeeeealy slow fury generation.
And apropos rend : somehow it does not heal quite as much as it does on my lvl 60 barb... i hardly saw my health move when i tried it right after entering hell.
Ignore Pain is a must have from my point of view (the rune that increases duration).
Wraith of the Berserker is good (the extra damage rune or the dodge rune). Instead of it you can use stomp (with increased range which works great with rend)
Two warcries are a bit too much at the moment and Ignore Pain is better than Revenge as your main problem will be elites/bosses and not necessarily huge mobs. You would prefer extra life on the rune of warcry instead of extra armor (at this moment that extra armor gives less dmg reduction).
I would replace Seismic Plan with Leap (Shockwaves) as that is a great escape mechanism and allows you to move faster as well.
You are right about ignore pain, it's a very nice skill. Also waycry is not realy necessary. I have it in mostly cause I am so used to playing with it.
So far my barb is lvl 51 and deep in act 1 hell. I have a few questions...
First, gear etc : http://eu.battle.net...1/hero/10927487

I AM always scared ^^

WW barbs dont work well with low budget, no matter if SC or HC. Once you have 10+ mill to waste, they are quite nice IMO. But I dont dare to go WW...
