H90 2pc buff - Hybrid builds?

The fact they won’t even acknowledge your obvious passion and knowledge of the game is very sad, and says a lot of the “clique”-y feel of the Diablo 3 forums.

Wasn’t always this way. I would point at the lack of new content and the “maintenance” status of the game, and players being bored and fraustrated.

If you had any self-control, you wouldn’t be such a glutton for attention. If you had any self-control, you wouldn’t voice where you haven’t been soliciteded.

If you’re referring to me, I’m not attacking you. I’m just giving you some greatly need advice. I’m looking out for you. :slightly_smiling_face:

Could Standoff annd Rechel’s ring be of some help to H90?
I remember there was a fun build around, for rifts and speedfarming.
It had Raekors as base. Highest possible speed for Standoff.
Haven’t made any attempt to theory craft.

Just throwing this idea out in case there is something useful. At least for this upcoming season.

It doesn’t matter. I accept that the internet has a wide range of viewpoints. The same person can be perceived both as an expert or imbecile dependent on another’s judgment.

As you know, Blizzard sets the rules of who can and can not post, including issuing temporary or permanent forum bans for serious transgressions. As such, we each have the privilege (not the right) to post on Blizzard’s forum. The idea that a solicitation is needed to post is the antithesis to Blizzard’s stated goals of the forum.

Just a general comment about my philosophy in relation to my own behavior. Personally, I have never found that insulting others is a way to convince someone online or in real life the merits of my argument. In reality, it often has the opposite effect in that the other person simply digs in their heels in even more.

Edit:

Here is a problem with your analogy. Blizzard is the one who decides who is invited and who is not. As this thread shows and the forum more boradly, there are divergent opinions where everyone is allowed to express themselves as long as the meet Blizzard’s requirements.

Good to know!:grin:

I was addressing Vena’s direct impression that you were some how being solicited by Barb community. See below:

No, Never, Ever, so there’s no confusion.

You can do as you please within the parameters of the code of conduct, but it’s just not welcomed by the majority of the Barb community, that’s all.

This is the best answer that has been given:

The individual in question regularly trolls Barb threads and has been a huge proponent of nerfs under the guise of “balance.”* He also adjusts the narrative over time to make himself look like the level-headed good guy. For example, of late he’s been claiming that during the previous patch’s PTR, we told him that Rend was never going to clear over 140 or 141, but what we were actually saying was that we didn’t know for sure , and that it didn’t matter since “balance” projections shouldn’t be made solely by evaluating top-end PTR results (or top-end Live clears, for that matter, which was confirmed by Nev and the Balance Blog). He employs alts to similar purposes. We long ago tired of his shtick and asked him to depart, but trolls, like fleas, are hard to shake.

 * His ideas about balance were, of course, debunked by Nev and the Balance Blog, but he nonetheless persists.

With regard to the topic, it seems like any hybrid build is only going to make use of the 2 pc bonus of H90.

This should be evidence enough of how people are rating this set.

“All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.” - Thomas Jefferson

This is to be expected as IK is the only set without the “standard” 6 set pieces.

Nev provided an update after the balance blog where she acknowledged why their table data had shortcomings. From The PTR feedback forum, Nev wrote:

Edit: Since I do not want to bump this thread, I am quite comfortable with my posts and the respect that I show others. I take 100% responsibility for what I wrote. In comparison to my rend build prediction. I have far less confidence in what the top potential of h90/frenzy or for that matter an h90 hybrid build. Time will tell.

This was to be expected that it had absolutely nothing to do with the point that was made :man_facepalming:

Yeah, that’s reaching, like way out of left field. You’re not being oppressed, you’re lying in the bed you made. This response is typical of you. Again, you take no responsibility for your action.

It’s not a impression. It is a literal fact. Hadd asked how the H90 2 piece could best be used. Micro was kind enough to offer an idea.

Isn’t there an option to mute a specific poster?

Ok, you ask Hadd if he was in anyway, shape, or form soliciting “advice” from Micro.

For God’s sake let’s drop the micro-discussion and get testing, the patch is live! I’m on a family vacation unfortunately :wink:

If someone intimately familiar with both IK and LoD HotA reported some impressions of the hybrid that would be amazing!

Say that again?

@micro

You are the uninvited guest that everyone explicit told not to come, and yet you choose to come. It’s not a matter of being free of commenting here or not, it’s common sense. You know what to expect from this community, you are aware of what you represent here, and yet you want to show your face here.

You aren’t doing this for passion for this game or of the sake of logic and numbers. You know you are being inconvenient, and you enjoy that. The worst part is: I don’t care anymore. Thanks for your contribution and I hope you find pleasure in healthier things, other than going to places you are not welcomed.

Stop feeding the trolls, they are eager for attention. Whether positive or negative doesn’t matter to them.

Ignore them!!!

As for the full set could it be a solution to change strategy?

Frenzy -> fear -> charge?

Off season it would be a huge sacrifice since it would mean going for Standoff instead of Bastion’s and maybe a good idea would be to use the warcry belt for a speedboost.

Would the dps loss be so large? If so it’s DoA as an idea?

Leaving it to you more experienced Barbs…

You may want to check out this thread about H90/frenzy build. You may find it helpful.

Actually, I plan to do more tests. My 120 clear, ptr clear is a bit different from the link I provided.

Currently, I am not sure which build is “best”. I didn’t do much tests about Hybrid. I will do more tests in season.

Don’t you have a fury issue without fury of the ancient ?

The use of HOTA with a Gavel of Judgement (in cube) is pretty much constantly at full fury as it causes you to gain more fury than it spends.
