I watched your video and to be honest your play style isnt very efficient for the build. You do a lot of kiting backwards and waiting for the elites to die instead of kiting forward and pulling more mobs with you.
Because when you pull more mobs on hc you die forever. Yeah
Are you bored of monk tanks, bored of dying to fire chains, electricity and other stuff that other classes can avoid ? Use this build and finish highest barbarian greater rifts with no problems! Tested this spec on 49GR and it works!
gogok of swiftness, poison gem (one with increased dmg to mobs) and moratorium
misc. info :
I am playing this build every day with my friends and/or random dps we take with us. We usually run in 3 (mage, dh without taskers and me) or in 4 (mage, 2x dh and me). In 100% cases we finish the rifts up to 47, yesterday weve almost finished 45 in time in 3 ppl. Our highest finished rifts that we finished in time are 3man - 44 and 4man - 49.
things you need :
skull of resonance - this is pretty much your best thing since after charming the enemy elite it will logically disable some of his affixes (fire chains)
xephirinan amulet - immunity to lighting, whats more to add
kredes flame finger - this will keep your fury maxed out against molten and fire chains (with 5000 life per fury from ignore pain that is almost 100% up you will spam rend and sprint which will keep your health topped and meanwhile it will buff the party with 100% uptime sprint and 10% dmg)
stormshield - well this thing just keeps you alive
pride of cassius - (need atleast 5 sec increased ignore pain) almost 100% uptime on ignore pain with this
you are immune to lightning and lightning heals you - use it !
ALWAYS go first, never let your dps go first, they will die from charge or ambush of some unexpected monster and this will only slow you down
use charge with element that is different from your dps elements, this will disable angels from act 4
if you see fire chains, either use threatening shout to charm atleast one elite or charge in with ignore pain and spam rend and sprint (with krede flame you have infinite fury)
dont use resource reduction items or paragon levels, they will decrease your healing
stunlock jailer and thunderstorm (they fucking kill your dps) or announce to your dps that you will not be able to cc the mobs
get cooldown reduction to 50% so you can charge 2 mobs, this is a huge advantage and will keep your enemies stunlocked and your dps alive
learn to charge so you can make huge packs to aoe and cc
keep sprint and rend up to boost your party with dps and speed and movement impairing effects
dont be afraid to run from the pack if you taunt them, they wont attack your dps
while in ignore pain you can ressurect anyone even if you are taking damage
dont use relentless passive, it will decrease your dmg by 50% and cost by 75% => decreasing your healing by 75%, making this useless
- trials -
change your head to leoric crown for more cd reduction so you can charge even faster, moving the mobs you need to the spot you need as fast as you can so your dps can kill all the demons in time
change your war cry for war stomp with pull so you can pull the mobs really fast to the middle
otherwise just stay in middle keep pressing sprint and rend and taunt
- greater rifts -
Start by buffing the party with war cry, sprint. Charge first mobs, keep hoarding the mobs untill you reach elites. Now you have a fucking huge pack to aoe, press threatening shout. Threatening shout will taunt all mobs to you for 8 sec (with inspiring presence), it will also charm 50% of the mobs, those mobs will stay on the place tanking the reminding mobs while you run out. Now watch the elite affixes you see, if there is nothing that will kill your dps, keep this pack on place (charmed mobs will tank them). Now either wait for the elites to die (keep charging them so they dont use jailer/thunderstorm) or if they are weak, use sprint and go find another elites, pull those elites with another monsters closer to your party. If those elites are hard, stunlock them with charge, if they are week, charm them and go search for another pack to pull to your party.
I am also happy to announce to you that this build is a hell of a lot fun than our classic dps build. If you are looking for a good way to upgrade your gems without luck factor and without searching for conduit, go for it.
If somebody is interested i can make a video from 3s with my friend mage and dh.
In the end i was searching for pylon, but weve managed even without the pylon.
Tweaked my gear a little, started using illusionary boots, it helps a lot.
Real problem is not the game mechanics, IMHO barb is the best support tank because nobody can pull so many mobs. The problem comes with the blizzard servers. If you pull too many mobs your group will die because of server lag. Electric elites lag even if they are alone and as barb you will pull 50+ mobs to this elite, your group will surely die. When blizzard fixes those lags barbs will be the best support tank and you wont even need good density because of sprint and charge, that i am certain.
