nothing intentional other than typical fury related stuff
the icing is the crowd control immunity rather than extra healing
Which bracers you use on that one?
Skular salvation bracers. I used captain crimson/endless walk/bom. I just switched out esoteric with invig and APDs with stone G’s.
It’s really tanky though. Not sure I even need warcry. Might try falter instead.

I’ll have too give that a try as soon as get back from my trip.

Grats. You not a num lock guy, Meteor?
Nice job, MB! You got a particular end point in mind, or just going to keep going until you run out of steam?
Well, the 126 was around 14 minutes, the 127 was around 12, so there’s still plenty of variance based on what maps / mobs / pylons I get, I guess. Neither of those clears had particularly good maps, and the first one didn’t have a conduit so I think there’s probably another 1-2 GR levels in there before I have to farm some more paragon. I don’t know if Raekor’s just not as popular on EU, but I’m surprised to be at 150ish in the overall leaderboard (think the 127 was around 130 or so Raekor leaderboard). Not like me to be this high up except 10 minutes into a PTR or an Era reset.
I’m still running with Zei’s, but might have a try with the Esoteric or the Invigorating / Stone Gauntlets version too.
There’s an abnormally low % of people playing Raekor all over, compared to how strong it is. That’s probably a result of:
- High skill ceiling
- Hard to stay alive at low paragon
- Less good for speed XP/Gear than Monk or DH
- A-tier rating from Maxroll
As a result, there are way more 140+ clears with Inna (211) than with Raekor (41), even though Raekor is obviously stronger.
I tried out the Invigorating setup earlier today. Seems… decent. Failed a 131 with that, then 1-keyed with Esoteric. With SG, you’re tougher vs Physical, weaker vs all other damage types than you are with Esoteric. So your preference may come down to whether you feel like you get killed more by mobs punching you in the noggin, or by elite affixes.
Or, you may be happier sticking with Zei, which after all does a bunch more damage, assuming you don’t spend too much time being dead!

Inna is just more complete a build. I started barb but after I got geared up I switch to monk to get XP. I never really played the cold version other than to farm keys before the fire nerf. The quality of life it has IS AMAZEBALLS. It has speed, toughness, damage, utility. Literally everything. I have a clan mate who did a 139 with inna with like 1700 paragon. It’s great at everything except super high pushing.
Reakor obviously has a much higher ceiling. It is a lot harder to play. Is glass cannon & takes a long time to master. I think a lot of people will push with it near the end of the season, especially players who have a Z barb.
Yea Inna is just a much easier build overall. I wouldn’t have an issue running 2-3min grs with it whereas I struggle to go lower than 3-4mins with raekor.
Raekor is still more fun though!
GR128 down…

I saw that you got the 150, congratulations!
GR 150, 3279 paragon, 14:51…
One hell of an accomplishment. That’s the lowest paragon anybody’s ever done a 150, without the help of a powerful seasonal theme, by far. The next lowest would be pre-nerf Bone Spear, which did it with around 4500.
What’s next for you? Lowering the time? Playing other builds?
But Raekor isn’t an S-tier . . . .
Hmm, maths Barbs, discuss…
Extra AD and legendary power, but disappointing damage range.
anything with a % that low is going to cause issues
2479.2 / 2328.6 = 6.47% more damage to the left hand weapon, but only half the time, so 3.23%
19128 / 19015 (more STR, at your current STR) = 0.6% more damage to the left hand weapon.
1.0323 * 1.006 = +3.85% in favor of left hand weapon
2.92 / 2.79 (higher affix) = +4.66% more damage in favor of the right hand weapon. Plus 2% more AD.
Take the right hand weapon.

Yeah the maxroll gang know nothing about the class 
Thanks, Rage, as always.
Finally got it down with P3279 (Str 25610, CDR 61%, and AD 118%)
I started my final push at around p3130. It was a bit challenging, I spent over 700 keys… narrowly missed several times by seconds (the closest one is 15:02 at p3150). So, I think sub 3K clear also seems possible with the build, maybe other talented players will break it in the season. (or non-season either)
About my GR 150 run, it wasn’t the best scenario, not an Orek’s dream or Field of misery, no Power pylons, but good enough to clear. The first floor was the Battlefield with grotesques, killed 6 elite packs through the big Conduit. The second floor was the Cemetary with hellions, got Channeling and Shield (of course I didn’t take the Shield…), and popped-up RG. It was the Ember, took 3min 30sec to kill him on the decent spot. (narrow way out of the map)
Actually, clearing GR 150 was the only goal that I set in this season, so I may quit the season earlier than before. I thought about challenging Rank 1 again yesterday because I still have a room for better record with both Conduit and Power. However, even if I did, it will end up replaced by heavy paragon players at some point, so I don’t think it’s meaningful to do. Instead, I’m thinking of trying a non-season COE setup for the next few days, because I haven’t really tried it yet.
