Dswing barb hitting for over 1.5 - 2m

yeah but im often spamming dswing non stop, so I wouldnt weave in lunges like that, especially on elites.

I was thinking maybe the other one for fury generated above max fury, but note sure.

Iā€™m thinking the same now, too, especially if Iā€™m able to keep my fury full and maxed at all times.

Still waiting for an Ancestral Ramaladni. Mfsā€¦

Yup, got my first one at 94 lol

I found like 2 or 3 sacred pretty early on, very close together, but not one since. I scrapped em both. Bunch of Butcherā€™s, Hellhammers, and Overkills. Got my 3rd Battle Trance. Still havenā€™t found a Razorplate or 100k steps.

Ohā€¦Butcherā€™s is apparently absurd for staggering bosses, if you didnā€™t know.

Also, have you considered Penitent Greaves?

yeah, I got a decently rolled butchers cleaver I keep in my pcoket in case it makes sense as a lilith killer.

Nah, havent really tried it. Im just so starved for aspect spots lol. But the freeze and chill could be good no doubt.

The more multiplier is what intrigues me. I suppose the constant chill will stagger quickly too.

Seems that the three shout meta is becoming more ā€œnecessaryā€ than meta with a lot of these builds. I guess you can make other stuff work, but gonna be tough.

if you roll three shouts, what are you running for that 6th slot?

ground stomp for stuns/free dswing?

WotB for unstoppable?

Grasps for vuln?

Nah trip shout cause its so good.

I already perma stun/ perma vuln everything with dswing.

I run steel grasp cause its honestly an amazing tool for repositionning and dodging 1 shot mechanics, i.e. pull everythi ng out of the deathraps and keep swinging.

Lunging for berserk upkeep.

And dswing for fmg and perma vulnerable.

I think ill have to do iron skin with the dr for hogher keys tho. Everything is starting to hurt real bad past nm75

There is a guy on YouTube doing high level NMs (88 and 92) with double swing. Only shout is challenging
Name is OroYee
He is running grasps, lunging, iron skin and maelstrom

yeah, iron skin seems to be the play for that extra defense.

2m damage is a joke , all other classes hit double digit millions easily.

So in theory, three shouts + iron skin is the long term build to shoot for.

Though I do wonder if you could sub out rally or challenging shout for grasps.

Probably not challenging

youd want at least challenging for the DR, regardless of build. But the trip shout heal is pretty good too.

The dmg you take just seems to scale so high at somepoint, its random one shots left n right.

Iā€™d suggest keep iron skin for unstoppable and DR. Run rallying for another unstoppable panic button. Then keep steel grasp and stomp.

There would be no point in running trip shouts if you can sustain your fury and keep serk up most of the time.

I honestly thought about swapping Death Blow and WotB for those 2. Might just try Rallying in place of DB first. Iā€™m not having any issues in 50s yet, though, so idk. Only lvl 84 at the moment.

trip shouts gives you 9% life per sec, people forget about it, but thats literally the best self sustain on the barb class.

Given all the other buffs, its hard to beat.

True but that is 4 skill points just to get the added buff while another 3 skill points to get the shouts for a 9% hp sustain.

There is a passive that allows you to restore hp i think somewhere near the ult passives forgot what it was but might be a good replacement to change up the reliance we have in shouts

Iā€™ve been theory crafting something like this. Gonna check him out.

I use that. 9% life per x amount of fury spent.

yeah, but its not enough. I could already tank lillith no problem close to 90, but higher nm dungeons it wont keep you alive.
