Best builds for Curses! and Boss Mode conq0uests solo?

I want to see if I can get the Seasonal Journey done without having to level a second class.

I imagine that Boss Mode just requires a build with high mobility.

Curses! is much harder. I imagine you need a build that leaves “AoE damage” around the area so stuff dies as soon as it spawns.

Does anyone do these solo on Barb?

I did them both on a WW/Rend Barb with BK weapons.

For Boss Mode, I swapped out an ability for Sprint / Marathon for lots of 40% runspeed spamming. Remember that the timer starts from as soon as you enter the game, not from the first boss you kill. If you’re unfamiliar with the map layouts for the “mazey” maps (like Queen Araneae) you might want to create a game until you get at least one of these as a bounty, so you get a direction arrow for them.

For curses, I changed the rune on WW to Hurricane (cold) as it pulls in mobs from 35 yards away. I then hunted for the Cursed Peat event in Act V, Paths of the Drowned. Just by spinning in front of the chest all the mobs that spawn get pulled in and killed.

Going to try that out. Thanks for the advice. I think I have all the gear needed.

Still gearing up my H90 build, the game refuses to give me an ancient oathkeeper and azurewrath.

Also did Curses with a WW/Rend Barb, using BK weapons. My more powerful WD failed it… the scrub.

Boss Mode… did it on my WD with my stock srandard t16 speed build, but I’d imagine the WW/Rend Barb will be fine for this too. He’s just as fast.

Barbs are so strong they could dual-wield Witch Doctors and cause whirlwinds of spirit barrage to come out.
