Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

A non-WW Barb build. There is hope for this shitty game!

sprint with tornados, not new been doin that long time. Rend would be better with it imo.



Basically this, but with better gear. /nvm this the build b4 i got skorn

I was out cold Sunday, the entire day.

But I'll pass this along.

I've joined a guild in advance to the xpac atwww.brokenrunners.com.

Grouping MP10 with competent players has seen xp moving at least 4 times faster than the solo grind, and of course, feels like much less of a grind.

With grouping on high MPs being the obvious best method, having a guild lobby or TS to jump into will be crucial especially at the start of the xpac.

If you're unsure on what's good for mp10 grouping, here's a quick list.

Wiz: CM meeting required breakpoints. Getting ~110k damage is dirt cheap to do with the appropriate life on hit and all resist. Damage and the uberest gear isn't a big deal here, just have the break points and don't explode when you get touched. 600k+ archons can annihilate entire packs of mobs in the blink of an eye even with 4 players in the game. Otherwise, yeah, do the CM wiz thing and group.

Monk: with cyclone strike, more expensive but typically in shorter supply. Probably want to be at least 180k dps for grouping efficiency, otherwise, go the bargain bin tempest rush solo until you grind up money or master card up (lul).

DH: Bombardment/echoing blast, I recommend bombardment with steady aim only if we have both a CM wiz/monk going. Otherwise, spike trap tanking with gloom is real uber.

Barb: ww/rend or HOTA (get a cold damage SoJ for Hota).

But yeah, sign on up, feel free to hop in with questions as they are better individually answered and walked through with you on voice chat.

Don't think that nerf is coming soon enough to warrant not abusing it for a few months?

I think it was just a demo of what it can do. Who even bothers with trash, its all about elite farming imo.

If you aren't clearing FoM with your act 1 runs, you're missing out on a ton of XP. Mob density in that zone is unrivaled. Tack on decaying crypts level 1 if it spawns.

And a demo of what? Run around and not kill shit? If you need someone to pull and contain mobs, get a monk or a wd, they'll do it much better.

Are you talking about my video or the one you posted? I was talking about the one you posted. Theres really nothing special about mine except for maybe the music. I'll have to record a new one for my skorn dude.

Substituting WW for a shit skill(in that context) doesn't make it a good build. Into The Fray and Chaos are getting nerfed anyway, don't get used to it.



Tenks, are you sure all sources stack additively? That would make the grouping XP bonus pretty shitty if it only added +10% on top of the high MP bonus. I know 1.0.8 changed NV bonus to be multiplicative with all other sources.

I probably screwed up something somewhere with how XP is calculated. I believe you're right that NV is multiplied. That would make sense because I have well over 400% XP bonus when I run around in MP8. Either way the spirit of the post was that Hellfire rings aren't really that great anymore.

Also that video is laughably bad. A WW/Rend/Sprint barb would clear that about 5x faster than that.

Been playing a bit again the past week after like a year. Leveled up my hc witchdoctor and not using AH at all. Only using one piece of gear (~880 dps weapon) I had previously in stash and rest I've found so far. Steamrolled act1 inferno and going pretty good in act2 as well. Got upgrades at a pretty decent rate so far.

my PS3 Barb at 58 has 56.2k damage, 6k armor, 46k health, 33% crit and 196% crit damage. Act 3 on hell is looool.

wat.. how? lmao

I love all the WW Barbs talking massive amounts of shit. Of course WW is the best which is why it gets all the hate. Thanks for pointing out that a different build is slower than the best build, obvious much?

Other than the game just being shitty in general (except apparently console > PC for the first time ever), maybe the game has gone to shit because everyone uses 1 build and is content with that.

Console version has elements of loot 2.0, so far gotten about 15-20 legendaries on my way to 60, more than half of them useful for a stretch.

Some weird changes on console, 3 stacks of NV for 75 MF, looks like affixes cap at 3 even on inferno?

Heh I tried to folllow 1 mil barb budget guide (I have 1.8 mil) and none of his suggested items even existed at the buyouts he was getting. Like he bought some items for 10k buyout using filters that get 0 results until I bump it up over 10 million.

I skipped about 30 pages into search results, bid 200k on things and they were all outbid.

Yeah all those guides are retarded and my experience has always been the same as yours.

If you want to have fun just wait til they fix the RMAH (As it is currently bugged.... again), buy a ton of gold for like 2 bucks, have fun. Stupid to have to do that, but whatever.
