    Your survival stats is way too low. For starters, replace your gems with vit gems. Your damage seems already good enough (thanks for the sick skorn you've got there) you probably could lose a bit of it for survival (You do more damage being alive afterall).

    I'm not a big fan with WotB. I feel that rend crit does enough burst to kill the elites without the need of extra cooldown ability. Tips on rend is to rend once and wait to see if it crits on the first tick. If it doesn't then keep refreshing until it does. Once crit just whack away and everything should die in no time. I feel that the survival and armor granted by leap worth a lot more than a burst ability that you can perhaps use every 3 elite packs.

    However, if you really want burst potentials, maybe give EQ a try. It has higher burst damage and shorter cooldown.

    Sprint maybe??? marathon rune/dodge run run like the wind??

    With Sprint-rltw, marauder's rage-into the fray, WotB-ToC, you might as well throw in whirlwind and be done with it, lmao

    WW doesnt work that well with 2-H, and why use WW/Run like the Wind when Charge/Marathon would be even faster, its not about whats similar but whats better/faster.WOTB+Marathon is 70% move speed permanently, rushing from one pack to another is a piece of cake.

    DST

    WW actually works equally well for 2h. The real problem with ww build and 2h is actually the attack speed means run like the wind won't proc quite as often, so you can't abuse LoH as much as you would on fast weapon.

    WotB and Sprint speed bonus do not stack. And you will not be having WotB up permanently. You can give this a try yourself.

    Yes, But WOTB has 10% crit, 20 % dodge and the 20 % speed all in one skill, and with the 1.05 changes to war cry and monster dmg you could just simply drop this, rely on the dodge/CC imunity and speed of WOTB, and replace war cry with something offensive like overpower/Revenge with the crit rune/Sprint with any rune you like (run like the wind maybe) also to dump that fury ( are you sure that the gains in fury dont count when at full fury???). Might be worth a try, with all the speed bonuses and bonuses to crit% it might be faster than your initial build if you have good gear.
    As for passives I dunno, maybe bloodthirst animosity, superstition, brawler (the idea of this builds is to rush through as fast as possible, so enemy numbers should be high at least in act 3)
    Heres the build I would suggest:

    eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#bSPcUR!ZgY!aZcZZY

    DST

    So I tried the build with WotB. While you definitely generate enough fury with Charge and cleave with Into the Fray, the problem is that you can't spend the fury fast enough -.-

    The only fury spender you have that is spammable is berserker rage, which only costs 20 fury with about 1 second cooldown. This mean it doesn't matter how fast you generate fury, you cann't gain more than 20 fury/sec.

    Therefore it is impossible to sustain WotB no matter how many mobs you are able to hit.

    And what about this build: eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#bSPcRk!ZXY!aZcZYc ?

    With Bash-Rupture having a proc coefficent of 66%
    Rend-Bloodlust 33%
    Furious Charge-MA 33%

    It should be pretty easy to get that 25 Rage/sec needed for WOTB-TOC to get it running forevere even more so with the 20% speed buff/CC imunity of WOTB, at least for farming act 3 where enemies are abundant (Alkaizer style).

    Any thoughts?
    DST

    First of all if you're going for WotB-ToC, then there is no point leaving berserker rage passive in there. You cannot gain fury when your fury is already full, so to keep WotB going you will need to dump your fury the entire time, making the passive rather useless.

    I might try this later to see how long you actually could keep WotB going. However, I don't have much hopes in it. The fury regeneration from this build is rather bursty and you will waste most of the fury overflowing from the cap. Moreover, I'm not sure WotB is really needed. In WW build WotB is important because getting jailed/frozen can mean death because you can no longer regen. However, with both charge and leap there really isn't any cc you need to worry about besides perhaps nightmarish.

    Besides than the 10% crit and 20% dodge chance (which can be huge, I admit), WotB isn't really offering anything new to the build. Attack Speed is basically moot when you're charging. If you want movement speed you might as well be better off sticking in sprint-Marathon for speeding up the whole run.

    Hello,

    Just some thoughts/suggestions/questions.

    After reading this I bought a 15 mil 2 h Hammer wit 1700 max dmg/200str/150 critdmg/socket and got from stuck in lvl 2 to Diablo in 1 day, worked perfect.
    What I would suggest would be : Isn t Brawler better than Berserker Rage? Just jump in their middle (sure there are more than 3 enemies, rend them and begin to charge).Also with Brawler you dont have to worry about Fury that much and the HOTA build (above) would be imba to melt through all acts.
    If you are geared enough WOTB is worse than Battle Rage on anything except bosses where with WOTB (insanity)+ HOTA (smash) on your right click ( no need to charge here) you can go toe to toe and melt every boss (except diablo) in seconds , no need to kite, run etc.

    DST

    Brawler would not be very effective. With this build, you're suppose to keep dashing from one edge of the pack to the other, so you won't really get brawler bonus (unless brawler updates mid-charge, which I really doubt). Jump in the middle, rend, and charge out might sound nice, but then you might as well just charge->charge->charge. You don't really get hit by melees during charge, and with trash mob they die so quickly to charge using rend is not really worth it. This way you never really have to worry about fury either, because you rarely spend them unless it's elites anyway.

    I find WotB to be kind of weak for this build just because I kill so fast and I only get to use WotB 1 out of 3 enemy packs. Rend also kills so fast getting that beefy buff so I can kill elite 2 seconds faster just seem like an overkill.

    Also if you really want a burst button, EQ fares much better for 2h build anyway: Higher burst, shorter cd, and not spending any fury.

    HotA is really hard to use. If you replace fury generator skill with HotA then it becomes pretty unsustainable esp against bosses. If you keep bash and try to add HotA as another fury spender, problem is rend does the job for single dps almost as well and you'll start having to save fury for rend, which you might as well just use only rend.

    Problem isn't that WotB, HotA, or EQ are bad, it's just that rend are just too good to justify any additional burst/fury spender.

    I got 2 fists that dropped off the same mob. They were stacking at the same location so the names were right on top of each other... the very same name as the items have exactly the same dps with the same stat roll and vendor value.

    Lately, I've been tinkering with this variation of the build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#ZScXRk!ZYd!ZZZaYc

    The idea is that you replace your bash with HoA, because, well because it hits freakin' hard. With my gear HoA can crit for over a million. That's more than enough to send anything flying in matter of seconds. However, the build now requires that you manage your fury a bit, but it can still be played mostly like the original.

    Into the Fray rune helps with sustaining the HoA spam a bit, just enough so that your charge/leap comes off cd again. However, it might be possible to not rely on Into the Fray rune. With the Berserker rage no longer be of any use, it allows one free passive. For me I choose bloodthirst because I lost too much LL from replacing a new weapon. Overall this build can be more entertaining in terms of big number crits. HoA also offers limited AoE.

    Let me know what you think!

    I'm guessing this build is only for single player... as I'm getting killed at least once every elite pack in public games :/
    Maybe my gear is shit *shrug*

    It's definitely NOT for single player only. I've played mostly with my friends with this build and it is a blast.

    But yes, you definitely need gear, as with any other builds. Against elite what's most important is keeping rend up, and try not to take unnecessary damage. If your gear is really weak then it's fine to just rend and charge/leap away for 5 seconds until you're a bit more comfortable with the build.

    I used this build, with different passives, to kill Diablo in Inferno today. I did spend about 5 million gold buying gear for my character, most of which went into the Immortal King's mace.

    Basically I used the rend heal to keep myself alive. My character has very low crit and crit damage, base plus that given by the passive. It wasn't fast going but I didn't die often.

    This build is far more my style than running about in circles farting tornadoes.

    You can get the Immortal King's mace cheap since everyone wants 1h with loh or 2h with crit dmg and sockets and it's a mighty fine weapon as far as I'm concerned (mine's not particularly good).

    With more crit and crit damage I expect to rip up act 3. 1.05 will be interesting as far as reducing the necessity of Impunity.

    I'd usually avoid mighty weapon for this build due to weapon mastery passive for mighty weapon is pretty useless for this build.

    On the other hand, however, that would mean you're free to swap out the weapon mastery to some other passive, maybe bloodthirst or armore ones.

    Most likely you are doing purchases on a computer // domain that is NOT matching your credit card and or your b.net data of residence.

    Sounds like typical automatic anti fraud measures that are kicking in to prevent your account from being able to be hi jacked by folks in some foreign country and run up the bill on your credit card

    Problem with that is, I haven't even registered a credit card or paypal. This is all purely bnet balance.

    That being said, I actually am using this outside of the "home" country. I had this bnet account a while ago when I was in US and now I have moved. The reason I don't have paypal is related to this since I can't sign up for sms authenticator. Now that I have > $15 in my balance I couldn't move the region either. I was spending them on gears so perhaps I could transfer region, but that's somehow getting me suspended...

    So a GM finally responded and I got my account back. I went to RMAH to place a purchase on an item. Soon after I got suspended again.

    Why is this happening? Is there like a certain item or seller I cannot buy on RMAH? If that's the case then how am I suppose to know?

    P.S. I prefer not to call if I can avoid it because I'm currently living overseas.

    If you're a big fan of "wielding big weapon and destroying things", may I suggest my personal favorite 2h build? :D I wrote a guide about it over here: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/66797-2h-barbarian-build-merciless-assault-build/

    Based upon your gear, you seem to have enough str/vit/ares to comfortably do act3 with this build. The rest depends on your 2h weapon. 2h are getting pretty cheap nowadays. You should be able to find one with lots of str/critdmg.

    As far as gears go, what you need to improve next is getting critical chance and critical damage. Next thing you should also be looking to upgrade is ares as it currently is a bit low. From your current gear it's probably going to be best to replace your rings to find something with cc and/or cd and ares. You might be able to get away with rings w/o str or vit if it has enough cc/cd/ares.

    Eventually if you want to be mad damage powerhouse with 2h you will want to have all the gear pieces capable of having cc/cd to have them. Currently I'm rolling at around 120k fully buffed with this build.
