Hi guys i just wanted to share what i would do step by step when the season start and wanted opinions from other players. So here it goes!
Basic stuff : make seasonal character > Challenge rift > torment 1 game > steal merc weapon then hire the templar > make 2 1-handed axe (level 5) and 2 1-handed sword (level 10) > get cube > rare upgrade a 2-handed mighty weapon > use shard for bracer THEN ring if left over > make tons of 2-handed yellow axe for leveling > make a level 70 weapon to get low level requirement on it > level up doing massacre bonus in temple of the first born till 70
Seasonal journey : Make a level 70 sage set for my follower to get the 3 pieces bonus for double death breath > do a torment 1 rift to get credit in all chapter > split bounty on normal to get chapter 2 asap > all other objective for said chapter till i get my 6-pieces of IK.
After chapter 4 : Use all my Grift key doing speed Grift > get more key doing 1 speed rift > repeat forever and increase difficulty as i get stronger > farm Wrath of the waste ASAP while doing so.
Gambling : Make a level 1 barb to get Band of Might > Bracer for Mortick’s Brace (that ring and bracer are beneficial for Wrath of the waste and IK) and hopefully get nemesis > Wrath of the waste piece starting with shoulder to get a chance for Fury of the Ancients witch is great for IK as well
Rare upgrade : 1-hand mighty weapon for Ambo and Bul-Kathos (unless i get an ethereals first) > mighty belt for Lamentation
That’s about it! What do you guys think?

Zzz…
Nothing unusual or interesting.
I asked for opinion but no1 care. I gladly join in a conversation if any1 would comment about my plan lol…
Your plan is pretty much the established “meta” for leveling a Barb. Some tweaks that I use:
Upgrade 2H MW before using shards, if you get blade of the tribes, forget bracers and roll either belts or rings, since you can get a girdle of giants to double down on EQ damage, or BoM. If you get bastions, go belts again trying for undisputed champion then rings.
Going mighty belts is riskier than bracers, but BotT + GoG and bastions + UC are both amazing combos. Earthquake version is neat if you like to pull a bunch of stuff and then blow it up all at once, and the frenzy combo is good because the movement speed.
I’ve never gotten this at a season start, but one day I’m hoping for one of the dream combos:
FotVP + BoD
GoJ + BotFM
Bastions + UC
BotT + GoG
Its possible to get these combos plus pox faulds plus BoM, but I’m pretty sure that would be your RNG luck for the whole season.

Going for belt is indeed risky. Getting the belt u want is a 38% chance statistically.
I would still go for bracer no matter what i get. If u get both Blade of the tribes and 1 of the bracer u could use all the rage u generate from war cray and threatening shout for some extra damage.
I be very sad if i gamble nothing and ubgrade a Madawc’s Sorrow xD
You just recapped my S23 start!
Ive always wanted a rework to madawc’s to avoid this scenario. It should be like a krysbins for barbs: “Stun enemies for 2 seconds the first time you hit them. Stunned or frozen enemies take double damage from your attacks”
That would be one less useless legendary and give a little bump for leapquake.
More then half the legendary need a rework with some kind of multiplier imo. But, at this point we should just wait for D4 lol
GL to you in season 24!
