Found these weapons in ancient before the IPB set, so thought I’d give your build a go.
106 down in about 5:30, with no augments, a few ancients, and gems around 99-100.
Was good fun, but I really notice the slower movement speed coming from the BK swords. Feels like you dropped an anchor 
So pumped, hit gr 130 seasonal! Had a goal of 130 last season but burnt out before I hit it. The information provided on the barb forums seriously helped me a ton, really appreciate all the work you guys put in.
Great job world rank 76. Get it!!!
GR 110 down, 9:16, with Ambo/Doombringer set up, no augments, gems 102-103’ish.

Nice work, Phoenix and MB!
Nice work, guys. Keep pushing and optimizing. Making me proud every dang day!
So, these dropped for me recently…

Currently, my seasonal Barb’s AD is 71%. I have a rank 120 gem waiting to be turned into a 600 STR augment, so essentially I’d be going from 1496 STR / 71% AD to 600 STR / 84% AD. Tried having a look at d3planner and it doesn’t seem to be factoring in the AD properly as it gave me the same figures for damage whether I put in 13% or 20% AD for the new gloves, so wanted some maths-Barb’s opinions as to whether gaining 13% AD is worth the 896 STR loss.
You are correct MB. Sheet damage does not factor things like area or elemental damage. The new gloves are for sure a decent upgrade. You would trade 996str for 13% area/4% chd/1% cdr. The str is worth about 5% for you but you would gain some of that back just from the chd then area which scales big time depending on density. Not sure on the math but it is a good upgrade.
Here’s the easy way to figure out how much extra damage you’re getting from an addition of AD:
First, you figure out the % increase in your AD from adding the new amount. So, in your case, you are going from 71 → 84, which is 84 / 71 = 1.183, or an 18.3% increase.
Your actual damage increase will trend towards this number, but could only reach it with an infinite number of enemies within the AD radius, which is obviously impossible.
With just one target, you don’t get anything. But of course, with this build you should really never be fighting just one target, unless it’s the RG.
In modest density (5 or 6 enemies packed together) you get about 60% of the AD increase value. So in this case, about +11% damage.
And in high density (20+ enemies packed together) you get about 85% of the value. So in this case, about +15.5% damage.
Like Chris said, that definitely seems like enough damage to justify dropping 5% of your STR.
Thanks for the responses.
Looks like I’ll be augmenting up my new gloves and trying for a GR126 then.

GR 133 13:16, rank 5 NA. Switched to FnR and gloves with AD. Hands are shaking lmao. Once again, all the advice on these forums helped me a ton, love you guys!
Great job Valenwood. Kinda jealous of your gear this early in season. Those 130 augments look very nice too. Only place you need to focus on is your belt. I’m waiting for worthy pieces to drop before I waste anymore gems.
Very well done! I don’t suppose you have video?
Also, I noticed some of the 
players got cleared off the leaderboard!
For solo the only one I noticed was banned was rank 1. The 4 man meta leaderboards got picked apart by blizzard.
I’ll be sure to get a video of the next push, never recorded my gameplay before, so I might as well start. It will be nice to have some videos to look back on how I handled certain situations in GRs.
135 season down for rank 4 NA/ rank 15 world. Sitting on 18.7k main stat and maxed out my area damage to 178% this morning. Had to play around with a lot of rolls this morning since I knew I was going to push today. I have some funny rolls like no cdr on one weapon but that just let me hit the perfect cooldown for stomp and wrath to be up 100%. Didn’t want any wasted stats and really min/maxed for about an hour today before.
Crikey. What were you doing, dual-wielding GoD DHs?
Just trying to do whatever I can to keep up with those 3-4k barbs.
Awesome work Chris
