Sounds good, man! I’ll look forward to seeing what you accomplish. If possible, record video!
Awesome job kozmik. Look forward to your future pushes and new faces on non season top page. Competition is only good and brings the best out of the best players.
The first Non-Seasonal 150s with HOTA are in!
엔류 did 150 with both LoD and R6 (and also, 149, in about 13 minutes, with IK), all with about 12k paragon. His LoD clear is the lowest paragon Barb 150 thus far in era 15.
There’s also another, quicker LoD 150, in 12:48, though this one was done with 16k paragon.

Nice job!
Why the name change?
Thats fire circle kinda OP lol.
Grats kozmik!!!
Pushing a bit to end the season. Came here to see if I should tweak anything. I was using the 50% debuff anguish but switched yesterday to the death blow explosion one only to read here Kozmik suggesting the debuff to make the boss fight easier, so I’m switching back.
But the reason I came here - furious charge, whirlwind, rage flip, and stomp. I’ve tried different setups. I didn’t get the whirlwind addition at first and figured charge made more sense. This is partly because I was also playing IK. With IK I had my cooldown at 16% and no orotz, which meant I couldn’t keep bom up. Managed a 130 before switching to LoD and seeing that the high cdr and orotz keeps bom up with stomp, not to mention the supreme toughness from stone gauntlets, so I put whirlwind back in and started to get how it helps with the mobility and stricken stacks.
Did a 135 this morning with whirlwind, stomp, and bloodshed. Bloodshed seems like a good inclusion and synergizes with the exploding anguish shard in density, but it was frustrating not having the spear to move things along and pull things into rings of fire. That’s why I came here to see what other people are doing, and see Raxx’s hardcore clear with battle rage (I assume bloodshed) and then Kozmik’s with spear and stomp.
So I guess that answers my question - go with whirlwind, spear, stomp, and the poison debuff shard. Interested to hear others’ thoughts.
Saw you bagged 146, congrats!

Is this guy a magician?
How else did he make the last 30% of the Guardian’s health disappear like that?
Excellent clear, and great backing music.

What I really like about the build is you get the best of both worlds. Spinning around like a fairy and use a big Ole magic boom stick. Haha
I put together 7 perfect peices for the set. The rest I need to farm then I will get to it.

Tons of Stricken stacks from Dust Devils, plus some good luck with Oculus spawns syncing up with his CoE Fire phase.
But you know, that damn bat that spawned from one of the dying Corpse Raisers when the boss spawned probably ate a bunch of his Stricken. He might well have shaved an extra 15 seconds off the clear if that little bastard hadn’t been there.
Nice. Don’t forget Rend, though! I’m counting on you and Seras to give me a good inside look on the matchup between the two builds.

Surprised I did a 135 sub 9 minutes less then 10 runs. Kinda what time I wanted but now I am thinking 7:30 is possible. Just need to get an early shield then have power and condi overlap on fields or fester.

Nice! You are talking about Rend, right?
Yes was just talking about my plan for this era.
You ever thought about adding in Ancient Spear as well? Either by dropping WW for Spear and swapping Ice Climbers to Illusory Boots, or keeping WW and dropping Bloodshed.
The former might present some problems with keeping CC immunity to avoid SG slowdown. The latter will hurt your trash-killing speed, but also significantly improve your trash-gathering speed.
Just curious if you’d ever tried either.
Thanks for the report! Yeah, I knew you had run the spec on seasonal, but not whether you had tried it on NS.
I would guess that this is dependent on the number of adds summoned by the boss. Against a single target, and assuming that basically 100% of your damage comes from crits, Bloodshed should only do 100 * .667 * 0.2 = 13.34% extra damage, which should only give you a time reduction of about -6.4%
Fair points. I do wonder, though, whether you couldn’t kill the boss with a Power/Shield combo in reasonable time. At my current level of pushing with Leapquake, I basically need Power + either Shield or Channeling to kill the boss in time… but HOTA’s single target is considerably higher, plus you stack Stricken quite a lot faster, even without WW.
Which extra CDR rolls do you pick up? I assume you normally run with 1 Weapon (since EF can’t get both CDR and AD) + Glove + Shoulder + Diamond w/ Leoric + Enchantress + Paragon?
Yes, agreed. It’s shocking to me how many people underestimated this build, even after it performed strongly on the PTR. Bizarre.
Watched your video of the 146, great clear! Curious how you determine the current amount of stricken you applied to the RG?
You planning on pushing LoD in season 26? It would be good to have somebody giving the Raekor gang a run for their money!
