Bone breaker for double swing

Barbarian
1

I know the dust devil is a big thing for this season. But can double swing itself overpower? Is it worth using the bone breaker node?
Last night I took an elixir for OP for the pit it seemed like it hit harder but didn’t know if it was coming from DD or the core skill itself.

Any insights?

DS can OP. Using a Ramas and Mace for DS and going WA can be hilarious.

Bash - 2H Mace (1 Cleave Temper)
WW - 2H Slashing
DS - 1H Mace / 1H Rama
Shout x 2
CoTA

DS - Always OPs

  • Earthstriker, Blood Boil, Bone Breaker, Bash as OP sources.

Lots of DDs

If you want a weird build, you can build Lucky Hit, OP, perma Stun without using HoTA for x30% damage boost after OPs with Rupture and insane IAS. Doesn’t do the Damage the “normal” build does but Staggers things so fast and everything is CCed. Takes some timing to make sure HoTAs OP.

So anything with bludgeon op?

Bash/dswing is legit as you just alternate between the 2 and fish for op procs with bash proc and earthstrikers.

No timing needed, just spam away.

can i also proc OP with leap and ds?

Yep. At minimum you have a 3% chance to proc overpower using anything (skills). You can see the in-game tooltip when hovering on the overpower number in the character window.

so is it worth it to use the OP node in the paragon? every 12 minutes i proc op

I don’t think it’s worth it, but that’s me and my build. Your build might find it useful. Why don’t you use it for a while, then get rid of it and replace it with something else and then you will either feel a drop or increase in your DPS and now you have some data to make decisions with.

Nah not worth the paragon.

If youre running dswing, you generate alot of OP procs through bash, earthateikers and baniahed lords. Another proc every 12 seconds is redundant.
