Yea... I shouldn't have even brought it up, haha. Oh well, Fuck it. Me and Krassus are wasting our time..

Easy link so far, didn't take much digging thankfully. I'll try to find the edps comparisons of specs shortly if it doesn't take a lot of digging.

Lets take it back a step since you are simple minded - I asked for a link after trying out the magic eDPS with MB on butcher yesterday and not seeing it. I even agreed and said I'm missing something and probably need to read the post to check passive and geard and can you please link it.

Your response is a fucking emotional tirade which doesnt include a goddamn link, its you pointing to other shit and saying you think my dps feels bad and im now claiming to be the strongest in the guild or best geared (Like anyone gives a fuck who is the best geared?) psssttt its probably one of the WDs I run with with their triple set bonuses & pets or the Barbs with their double sets.
Krassus, seriously? Ease up, it is a single player game, one huge time sink (addicting as hell, but still a time sink). Go get your morning coffee fix or whatever so you can chillax. This is not WoW, no need for drama.

Grim Harvest + Reaper Wraps is a lot of fury. I run that and Avalanche + Earthen Might. For the most part, that covers all my fury needs. I tossed in fury gen COTA for elites or when fury gen gets a bit rough.

Ronne, why WW? Always feel underwhelmed at its killing speed. Hota + bloodshed + paragon area damage seems to do better, if a tad spikey.

Oh, I think a decent amount of CDR is key as well. More avalanche, more grim harvest, more warcry for chili chains. I like 50% CDR so chili chains is 100% uptime. You have to sacrifice some attack speed to get it, but that has the side effect of lowering how much fury you're sucking down.

CDR way underrated for a lot of classes/builds.
I tried Grim Harvest with Reapers Wraps and found that I was all the time chasing down orbs. Do you now have a problem with this?

Started working on Barb on my downtime of not grouping with my regulars. I see a lot of barbs (high end) of course, not using fury generators. Is this transition purely gear related or is it a sheet DPS number that I need to hit where I am not concerned about fury because I have so much of it?

I do have reaper wraps on my barb, outside of that not much else.

He posted the link and its more than what I thought, they are using different passives than I was and % MM in every slot they can. Its interesting in case there is ever a Rift with one mob on it with 3 billion hps. A lot of the stuff we try I copy parts of other builds and play with it to be able to add it into mine or something along those lines.

I would imagine barbs with the 4pc IK dont every have to worry about wrath? Unless im reading the description wrong.

Depends, there can be some inefficiencies from having to chase down orbs. Note that I have almost 50% CDR, so I'm hitting grim harvest a lot, orbs will sometimes spawn close enough that I don't have to move at all. I have no idea what my pickup radius is.

I'll be honest, I don't feel like this annoying me that much. At least, it doesn't annoy me nearly as much as my previous solution to barb's fury problems: lots of fury gen cooldowns. Ugh, fuck that. Watching 3-4 skills on asynchronous cooldown so I could have enough fury to spam hota.

Anyway, I want to say, most of the time, I don't need the globes until the fight is over and I can pick them up as I'm running to the next pack. If you need globes mid fight, it means you're using 5+ hammers and the fight isn't over yet. If trash is taking that many hammers, on average, your difficulty might be too high. Remember, I subscribe to the trash and elite packs die quickly mentality for farming.

Why your meteor build is good (if you change it to MM instead of Electrocute). Use meteor shower for just AoE, then MM for single target. I haven't had the chance to spec more MM as of yet. The other link I'm trying to find did similar comparisons, had perma-archon on top, followed by mainly MM builds.

What passive were you using?

What about the other skill, I cant think of the name right now that adds 10% damage and some crit? One of the runes also increases health globes spawn.

Is that junk?

Some gear is needed. You can do it purely with build, but like I mentioned in my response to Ancient, it's really restrictive and fucking annoying to play.

Reaper Wraps and some CDR is probably the easiest to achieve. It's really all I'm using, gear wise, to go no fury gen. Paragon points into CDR and RCR admittedly do help.

Battle Rage - Swords to Ploughshares. No, it's not junk, grim harvest is better at spawning globes and the bloodshed rune for Battle Rage adds some much needed AE that hota lacks.

Ill have to try that AE rune out some.

Does the axe I asked you about yesterday Death put the ignore pain buff on you for the full normal duration 5s or whatever? Or is it just on you without the icon.

Link I'm trying to find had perma-archon as roughly 100mil sustained dps. Followed by MM at around 80mil, etc.

It was originally paper math until they found people to test with, which the actual tested results were pretty on point.

Sankis? Not sure, don't think I've ever used it. I'm going to guess no icon, standard duration.

Skandis will give a graphical indication on your character but I never saw a tooltip for it.

Anyone want to farm some T5 Malth tonight? I just need to do him for hours and get enough to make some decent ones.
Maybe... you might be doing a bit of carry for me though. Slam Dance and fuckton of Fetishes should be "ok" though. I'll end up just running around while pet's clean house.

Picked up a Shard of Hate, on my WD of all toons. haha

I know it was nerfed, but is it still good? or just totally worthless now?

Your gear is fine, WDs just need to time to move or in your case with starmetal resummon them once the green shield kills them / drops.

Speaking of WDs I started playing mine over the past few days. I'm tired playing my crusader cause starting to get boring. Holding down one mouse button and spamming shield toss made me actually fall asleep at the keyboard. The class is so damn gear dependent and you need specific gear to make the builds viable. I'll hold off playing one until they rework on the class or I get that itch to play one every once in a while.

So I was able to score aQuetzalcoatlaka the dot mask running my first T1 rift. The using a hybrid pet/dot build that is working out pretty okay in T1. The amount of different builds makes it a fun class and farming with them is pretty damn fast. The pets do majority of the work. I really want theMask of Jeramalong with the Zunni 4 piece set for the bonus. With the Fetish Sycophants passive how many can you have at one time summoned? Let's say if the maximum is eight with Fetish Sycophants, can you summon additional ones with Fetish Army to your existing fetishes or those you summoned will replace the existing ones? I'm thinking with all those fetishes, along with your Gargantuan zombie, zombie dog (with midnight feast passive) and all three of your followers (enchantress with Maximus) from the Asheara's 4 piece bonus set that's a shitload of pets out at one time.
