I’d love to, but I doubt people want to watch my scrub tier 110’s xd
Not always… Sometimes when you agree but explain that things are more complicated than what was presented or obvious mistakes in the underlying premise, you are accused of having the exact opposite opinion of what you said and dog whistling.

No matter how efficiently you play time is always required for higher GR pushes. I get about 20-50 hours to play per season (not week all season). I would say I am pretty efficient with my play time as is.
Cool we agree. Not sure why you feel like I was arguing that this isn’t an option but sure go with that.
Was it a dog whistle thing again? Never once said it is vicious nor did I even imply it. I have stated over and over that while it is not a major exploit it is still an exploit. Every time someone tries to say it isn’t they end up saying something along the lines of “well maybe it is a small one but who cares”.
Let me go back to the original point then as you have missed it.
Is this not clear? I don’t think wall charging should be considered a legit clear. I think it is an exploit and should be viewed as one. I think you are trying too hard to make it seem like I am arguing that bug pack and wall charge are the same thing but I haven’t. My first post about it (post 34) stated my stance very clearly. Stop trying to read into things and just read what is written.
There you go making assumptions about things you don’t know. I have run it and without wall charging you miss a ton of damage. You either skip a few COE cycles or you don’t have 100% from EW or both. I found R6 slam to be on par with HOTA when no wall charging was used. Remove bracer cap and slam would overtake HOTA real fast (assuming wall charge is gone).
I will trade you names with your pot dealer. We can get drunk and high together.

Canceling the Furious Charge animation was a bug/exploit.
Wall Charging is not a bug or exploit. It is just a horrible loathsome unfun mechanic. It gives a build like R6 HOTA a lot more power than it should. But it’s been around for a while now. Blues have said they aren’t going to change it. It’s here to stay. If something has been acknowledged by the developers and cleared, it doesn’t matter how much you hate it, it no longer becomes a bug.
This bug pack is clearly an exploit and should be shamed. We as an entire D3 community, not just Barbarians, should not condone this kind of play.

Amen.
My main complaint about Vile Charge is having to wall charge on the RG, I hate it.
I missed this completely. Would love to read the post where they discuss this.
Yeah, that’s ridiculous.
I can see an argument for ignoring clears that use the bug pack, but dismissing clears that use wall-charging? That’s laughable. What you’re saying is that they are, in terms of how we validate GR clears, functionally the same–use one or the other and you believe that’s not a worthy clear.
So when you say this:
You are wrong, because that is exactly what you are saying:
One more time, in case you (again) missed it. By saying that clears that use either wall-charging or the bug pack are not legit, you are saying that both of these things are, for the purposes of evaluating clears, functionally the same.
Big fat NO to that, mah dude.
Whether you enjoy wall-charging or not, think about wall-charging as contextualized by other unintentional mechanics that add to the game: strafe jumping and bunny hopping in Quake and Half Life, air strafing in TF2, and so forth.
And look up “dog whistling” because you still don’t quite understand it.

I just found this. He used EF/Trapped/Mortick. FoT with perfect conduit and power is really powerful.

Thanks for posting – I’ll update the OP.
He used Trapped, Taeguk, and Stricken. The real power here comes from Crimson’s and Flavor. Without the Conduit and Flavor, this wouldn’t have been a clear. He’s also using Falter, but he barely hit – even when in density where the extra dibs damage would been handy.
For me, this highlights that ultimately, Parthans is superior to Mortick’s for end-game pushes. As density increases, the dynamic DR of Parthans becomes more powerful while that offered by Mortick’s is capped.
I didn’t imply that Mortick had something to do with the clear, or that it is superior/inferior to APD - simply mentioned that he wore it. I’m certainly not qualified to enter this discussion.
You write that the real power comes from crimson’s - he didn’t use it. It’s 6p Zodiac, just re-checked our leaderboards.
I didn’t say you implied anything – was just musing out loud. I’m finding the different approaches to WW at the moment to be interesting, that’s all 
You’re right: he’s not using Crimson’s!
The extra juice is coming from Flavor and, in density, Echoing Fury. Current estimates put the Crimson’s variant a few tiers ahead of core Zodiac, so it’s interesting that he opted to stick to the base build. I’m still not sure if Echoing will be better than Furnace in the long run, or if the Crimson’s variant does much more than make the build slightly more tolerable at low to mid Paragon.
Anyway, thanks for the updates and post! We definitely need more Season 18 clears, so if you see more out there, post them here!
Will certainly do, these videos are useful for players like me who think about coming back to barb after a long time off, the community is so active here. Keep it up.
Glad to be of help!
Some more interesting stuff: Asia Normal Rank 4 at GR 128 is also the core Zodiac build, but with Flavor, Strongarms ( 
), and Witching Hour. That person is insane not to use Parthans or Mortick’s. I mean, 7800+ Paragon helps, but incoming damage at 125 ain’t no joke for solo Barbs. That’s nuts.
Rank 6 is the same setup but uses Mortick’s instead of Strongarms and Trapped instead of Taeguk. I’m familiar with that clear.
Rank 5 Season is very impressive: GR 120 under 2k with the Crimson’s variant of WW! He’s using PE, presumably for the extra cooldown, and I’m confident he would be better served by swapping it to Trapped.
Interesting stuff!

Hot damn! I play WW myself and I’m completely unembarrassed to say I’d never be able to pull off anything like that, regardless of gear / paragon.

I made a few attempts on 133. One time I managed to get to the boss with 4 minutes of time, but of course being able to kill only the saxtrix. With the R6 HOTA at this same level I arrived with 2 minutes, but still not getting a map really good.
I spawned 20 bosses on 134 already between 3:30-6min monkaS never sax
Gl for 133
