Please, for the love of god:

Don't write kk for a million. It's 300m, not 300kk.

Don't write m for a million. It's 3e8, not 300m.

@aldoran: smash is the rune to go. radius may be small, but crits are very high..thunderstrike only works on kill, so for pure dps and high mp level i don't think it's very viable..

about the build itself, besides leap (i'm using overpower - ca) i'm using the same skills and only 2 different runes..my advice: either use wotb-toc & battle rage - into the fray, or use insanity & marauders rage..i'm using the first combo..and regarding passives, you should think about alternatives..i'm using superstition, which helps a lot in certain situations to keep wotb up (e.g. rakanoth & ghom).

thunderstrike does work better for high MP wiht enough dps(~130k is enough for mp8, for example) - i can stay in crowd and survive, and it has a higher aoe dps, than smash rune, because of two main reasons - bigger range -> more fury gain, that allows to spam it.
But it does suck for single targets, tho.

wotb-toc sucks for 2h - you will never get enough fury to get some meaningfull uptime, +=5 sec will not make such difference, like insanity or even slaughter

i do not like smash rune on HotA - the hit area is too slow and it does not give enough fury back, with thunderstrike rune i can stunlock elites, surronded by adds - it helps alot on high mp (i farm mp8 for keys), and i do not even need a basic attack for fury generation.

take a look at build in my sig (no gear in that stupid armory, since i've been doing naked achieve and it recorded me in that state ))

I do not want to be rude, but you do not play the game? There are a lot of playble builds for barb, each with unique stat composition. There are tons of guides around - they did not help you?
sword&board - slow, but surely; 2h smasher - requires a good 2h weapon; double tornado, requires 2 good 1h and some special itemization. All of them are viable in inferno with good flexibilty to tune for your own playstyle.

Choose what you like, try it, feel it. You will clearly see what you are missing on your gear.

You did not even link your profile - your post sounds like "i play barbarian. how to win?"

Draken states otherwise:

what he think "stacked rend" is not a stacked rend - it is a critical rend. i've been using rend since patch day and i've done some testing.
rend's tick can not be critical, but the inital application of rend can crit, and all next ticks will do increased damage

different damage ticks come from the displaying system:
it displayes an average damage for last X time interval, and if you apply a rend in the middle of that interval - firts tick will be shown as half of the tick damage. if you refreshed a normal rend with critical rend, you may see a damage value like (normal rend tick + critical rend tick) / 2

So I finally gave up on farming because its a waste of time.

lol, guess what you are going to do in next X monthes of your life, for beating inferno without AH

check out my stream im much more attractive! lol

As the title states, a I'm a huge d3 player and I am now beginning to stream. Quality isn't the best but stop by if you want to chill out, chat and listen to some tunes. Will be doing some giveaways and whatnot once i rebuild some inventory. Have all 5 classes to at least 50, 4 of which are at least 72 and one is 100. The p100 is my barb and after months of not playing him I have returned to him. Come stop by!

Nice to see that you managed to upload some videos after promisin them on your stream like .... 3 months ago

Better late than never right? Just like Diab. . . oh wait. . . ;P

Quote from Aldoran

what is the overall budget of demo video?
sorry if you mentioned it in video, watched just a pieces.
killing speed looks very low, a minute for mp5 elite pack, 10-15 seconds for mp1.. that is just 'meh'

For me, it's about finding viable builds and sharing them with you who are more capable of investing in them. There have already been videos showing variations of the Weapon Throw build cruising through MP10 no problem, so it's more my lack of uber gear than the build itself. I also hate Paragon and Monster Power levels, but I know there are many of you who want to know if a build can actually handle higher MP levels so I try to demonstrate that. If you're looking for the most efficient setup you probably aren't going to be satisfied with my builds, but hopefully you get some ideas worth experimenting with. I have more fun finding viable builds than I do farming Alkaizer runs. I try to be up front about that

The majority of the builds I'll be showing are on a 5-10mil budget while every so often a 10-15mil build will come along (Like the upcoming Hand of Ytar build that uses very specific gear). I very rarely spend more than 2-3mil on an item. It's worth pointing out that you can take my gear as an example and achieve the same results with 3-5mil and 7-10mil respectively given that most of my cost is iterating through gear until I find items that "fit" well.

In case you didn't check the video description where the links are, here are the stats for both sets of weapons that I use and I'll add them to the OP as well:

Axe + 300th Spear - http://d3up.com/b/968 (60k DPS before WOTB)
Mighty Weapon + Sever - http://d3up.com/b/196806 (54k DPS before WOTB)

The numbers start unbuffed, but you can turn on abilities and passives to see where they end up at.

With the world ending at all, I figure today is as good a day as any to start (and possibly finish) releasing build guides for the multitude of quirky builds I've racked up this past year.

My first guide is the incredibly flexible Weapon Throw build that removes the need for generators via Battle Rage with Into the Fray. It also maximizes the benefits of the No Escape passive by using Weapon Throw and Ancient Spear for strong burst AoE damage through Wrath of the Berserker with Slaughter.

I recommend watching the Gameplay Preview first before the Build Guide itself as it is quite technical. Going forward, I'll be releasing guides for every class covering as many of the lesser used abilities and runes as I can.

Please feel free to critique me or offer feedback that I can use to improve my guides going forward

For 1.0.4, we're taking a good look at some of the most unpopular skills for each class, figuring out why they aren't being used in your builds, and then seeing how we can make them better -- either by redesigning how they work or just buffing the hell out of them.

So, in all the examples they give, the fix is just to buff the number values of under used skills. Don't get me wrong, I think this needed to be done, but it could have happened months ago in a simple tuesday patch. I kind of expected something new... maybe Cleave building stacks of a bleed on elites or something. Maybe when the patch notes are released we will see more redesigns and not just buffed values added to existing skills.

Fun with zombie bears and dogs!
