[Archive] Barbarian Greater Rift Clear Videos

Most of the frequent posters here have gone on personnal attack not even towards me, but towards blizz staff in general. Few of them even went to gender attacks towards nev, misscheetah (no need to mention names, i hope at least they feel shamefull about that ). This same guys were on the list of people that Free, ‘mr voice of barbs’ thanked in the end to ‘fight’ for lamentation revert. This same guy assumed i pushed on ptr on purpose and that my rift was good to get the build nerfed. No comment.
So yes, id like my clears to be removed from this topic, as people use it to prove whatever they want and make me talk things I never meant.
Actually told myself id never get back on posting on this forum for retards, so this will be my last one.
Remove my clears , pls. And dont forget to report me for verbal abuse.
Greetings,
Potato, face of the barb nerf

Ok, I removed it. Why would I report you? I understand that English is not our (yours or mine) native language but I didn’t have any intention to sound aggressive or to antagonize you.

If you want my opinion, it’s the game’s loss if you won’t return here. Anyway, have fun with D3. See you in YT.

I’m really disappointed in this comment, but there are a few things to which I want to respond.

  1. I don’t speak for everyone, and I’m not the boss of anyone. If you have had some bad interactions with posters, take it up with them.
  2. I’ve never made personal attacks at Blizzard staff or MissCheetah. I’m on good terms with both and don’t intend to change that.
  3. I called you out for knowing, whether you admit to it or not, what would happen if you pushed on PTR with Lamentation at 200%. You have enough game experience and know-how to know how certain things are treated in PTRs, and you either knew what you were doing, or didn’t care, and I want to believe the former because the latter is a nasty appeal to subscribers and Twitch followers.

Guess you thought a good way to go out was to use a slur, but it just reflects the overall tone of your post. Wish you could have engaged in a more productive discussion.

lol @ the chain of comments above; when you intentionally host Twitch streams slamming people on the forum, calling Americans “retarded”, and showing open hostility towards everyone it’s no wonder people turn against you.

People were angry at certain posters for misconstruing clear data and using it in misleading ways. Many people knew Blizzard would react negatively to PTR clears which is why it’s ALWAYS a bad idea to push on PTR, no matter which class you play.

No one was really angry at any streamers, that is a misconception. Barb players also never personally attacked any Blizzard employees. That is a lie.

People were angry at posters using that data to call for nerfs, and outraged at darkpatator for acting like he didn’t know the PTR clear could result in a nerf. Does anyone think people here are stupid enough to believe that? Of course he knew. He’s smart enough to understand how PTR / Blizzard functions.

Of course it could result in nerfs… any D3 player knows this. Anyone that has been around this game knows how Blizzard reacts to stuff like this. This is evidenced by their proposal to have a 0% damage belt.

Excellent post!

I keep seeing these threads in GD where folks accuse the Barb community of attack streamers and such, but that isn’t the case. We criticized their points and called them out when they blatantly lied. Like you said, Dark knew exactly what could happen if he pushed. And as for Fluffy, you can still find the posts I made to him–even after he went on stream and verbally attacked me–and they speak for themselves.

I guess some folk find it hard to understand why this community is no longer very welcoming to them, but when you look at what actually happened, it’s plain to see.

Many of the links are dead, sadly, including all videos by Archael / Ulmaguest and Shamue55 (looks like I’m back to being the top clear video for both Fire and Phys Leapquake :slightly_frowning_face:)

Definitely needs some editing / pruning!

Sad times indeed. Not sure why Arch pulled his videos. His account is still active though he hasn’t logged in months.

Sigh. I’ll try to clean it up over the next few weeks, though I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth the effort.

Yeah, it’s a bummer, because it’s a great thing to have around for anybody who wants to see this or that build played well.

Maybe it should just be simplified: only non-seasonal clears. The value of seasonal clears really only lasts for a short while (while the season is active). Then it’ll be a lot less of a pain in the butt for you to keep track of, and for people to read.

If only we could just get people to post to frikkin YouTube. It’s really not that hard, and it means it’ll stay around forever (as opposed to twitch).

Non-Season only is a good idea, particularly since Season themes add considerable power to builds. That would also insure that archived clears represent builds in their more or less permanent form.

I think I’ll also restrict it to YouTube only submissions and simplify the submission format.

PS Check your Gchat!

Grats. When I saw the Conduit around 5 minutes in, and all those elites, I couldn’t help thinking “Damn, ancient spear would be nice around now”.

Lol, yeah. Both Shamue and I have tried adding Spear into the build, without much luck. It just makes the playstyle super clunky, since you can’t (or, at least shouldn’t) Spear in-between your 3 Leaps. With a 2H weapon, by the time the Spear animation is complete, Leap goes on cooldown, and then you’re stuck without enough Fury to launch again. It also pulls either WC or BR off the bar, both of which are really good.

Not saying it 100% can’t be done, but if neither Shamue nor I could get it to work…

If Tribes ends up with a decent buff, maybe somebody can convince Wudijo to give it a try.

I know right, with spear and pulling the entire map, it might have almost been a 1-floor clear. Crazy progression with fatties, I love em!

Yep, only thing better than fatsos is Lacuni/Thrall. Or I guess a truly insane Swarm Festering where you pull all the elites to a conduit at the end, then go to the next level which is also a Swarm Festering, and pull the elites there back to the entrance, then zap all of them to death.

I think I left maybe 4-5% progression on the table in that rift. I suppose I might have also killed some Mothers before they were done spitting out zombies… probably not quite enough for a one-floor clear, but close!

New best, GR 141 :ok_hand:
