Double Swing and DD Barbarian

Just wanted to vent here. Coming from a HOTA build with every barbarian during the seasons and converting to Double Swing, I started to grow more and more fond of it. Its FUN!
But why is it that a basic attack like bash up scales a core skill? I normally solo Diablo 4 but yesterday with my fellow bash barbarian friend fighting torment duriel, he was able to 20mil hits and i was doing only 2 mil with DS and DD. Honestly, it doesn’t seem right. Am i missing anything here? Wish bilzzard buff up if not the dust devil maybe the actual core skill itself.

There’s a few things Bash has. Moonrise is the big one. Then there’s Adaptation. As well as those Topaz shards. Core skills have multipliers but the big one Unbridled Rage has been nerf.

Will it make a difference if I substitute the devil aspect to maybe an elemental aspect or edgemasterS?

Now that we can apply aspects an unlimited amount of time (gold/materials permitting) go experiment! Make the change, go fight some stuff, if it feels it’s more Damage then you’ve answered your question :slight_smile:

The only reason bash is so strong is the 700% + multiplier for bash, wich is a bug they didnt want to fix.

Any skill with a temper like that would be insanely strong.

Flay and Bash are the only Skills really that have a specific Weapon Damage Temper. Some other skills got Weapon Tempers, but they are size increases. Considering the hang up are Pit Bosses, you do not need Size increase at all. It is great for trash but so is everything. The fact Bash came with a Cleave tied to it is kind of ridiculous. This should be an Aspect that causes all Basics to Cleave.

Bash and Flay shouldn’t have been singled out, but having a Basic Build be viable is fun. It should require total investment. Getting the Bleed bucket multipliers on top of the high DD for the price of a Keystone and an Aspect on a 2H basically is kind of ridiculous also.

Yeah, i dont mind a strong basic build, but everything else is so far behind that its annoying.

My DS DD hits can get up to 22mil on boss stagger phase. I recently cleared 105 Pit with more than 5 mins to spare, but I’m not optimized yet.

I made a post in discord Sanctuary server if you want more info about the build.

Can you post the link to the build pls.

Thank you

Use the speedfarm variant as reference for most content.

If you like Helltide, there’s a variant for that 1 too. You’re basically a turret 1 shotting everything including Maiden.
