Man wth did they do? Last season I made it to 133 on Deathblow Barb… This season, same build, needs quite a bit of work to match my last seasons Barb, but still… I’m at like pit 75 or 80 about and it ain’t getting any better any time soon… And like … Trash is horrible, I kill the bosses fine, but ugh, trash sucks.
Idk I’m trying to figure out why a new expansion comes out, and this same build, that didn’t even receive any kind of nerfs, loses 50-60 pit tiers man… It’s really stupid
Are you using Lucion and Starlight to sustain spam?
How many ranks of Invigorating Fury do you have? How much increased healing?
It’s been a struggle figuring out exactly everything I need to sustain… I have 266 percent healing received and it’s still not enough. I got Deathblow down to 140 cost, and I have invigorating fury +5, it’s 24 percent healing. 1300 Wisdom, I also use a 2 percent Undying aspect on the chest for more heals, and I had to use anger management with 20 fury on Deathblow and it STILL won’t stay full… Idk man… It’s really frustrating, I also use the “don’t get hit for 2 seconds rune” and it restores 40 resource… Nothing works.
It feels like the overhealing part of starlight doesn’t work. It needs to have a separate buff on the bar to see how much overhealing I’ve done in order for me to trust it at this point
Starlight is not worth it anymore.
Im playing upheaval with lucion and unbridled rage, i can sustain my fury when i hit 3 or more monsters. Non stop spamming upheaval.
I use rallying cry on yen’s, fist of fate ( for high lucky hit chance ) and one roll of +chance to restore recource on my weapon.
Against a single elite or boss, alternate between basic skill ( preferably flay for the vulnerable ) and core skill on 1:1 ratio.
I also pick weapon master node and assign flay to 2h slashing weapon.
I suggest roll one piece of your gear to have resource regen %
You need more ranks of Invigorating Fury, more fury gen, and more max resource. You also need to make sure that you don’t have any resource cost reduction anywhere and get some fury per second on either boots or chest.
I tried my own variant of Mighty Throw using Banished Lord’s, and was able to sustain full fury with 12 total ranks of Invigorating Fury, but I didn’t have enough max resource to use Lucion’s. I didn’t have as much healing as you either, so you should be fine if you roll another +2 and masterwork it. I may try the same thing with DB, because it costs 80 when MT is 70.
Slaking Aspect helps too, but for me, it took the place of Limitless Rage and reduced my damage too much. You can’t really use it with DB because you need Red Ring.
Since last season had Pit 200 as max, and this season has 150 as max, i would say you are around the same tier as previously or even higher.
If u use Yens without Tibaults Will then u gimp urself out of constant 20x, I can’t add more Invigorating Fury…
If you can’t spam it constantly, you gimp yourself too.
I just tried Lucion with MT again, and it’s a major struggle. I can only spam with Unconstrained and Starless, but the damage is wack. Bastard Hat > Lucion.
I’m Deathblow, not MT, I hate MT, u can’t move and throw
I know. Previously you said you can’t spam it with Starlight. I’m trying to figure out how.
Try pants with IF
Probably lost some tiers but def not as much as they think considering the whole rebalance of the Pit and stat adjustments.
Ok the new setup is 5 invigorating fury on chest, and I dropped Tibaults will, and put trip MW Crit on invigorating fury on pants. It’s 14 now, at 43 percent heal. With that I pushed healing received to 200 percent, making that 43 percent 129 percent and now the build works, I was able to drop 20 fury on Deathblow and continue using Doombringer.
Atk speed 120, it’s doing very very well, and it’s subpar mid fast at a 75, speedruns at 70 and lower. With a few key MW crits in certain areas, it might push me to 80 with 75 speeds. I’m satisfied. The boss damage so far is 3 billion. I can get it higher, as I start swapping some healing received paragon for glyph bonus nodes. I’m paragon 260 right now
As a side note we put Dodge chance on pants, and the aspect that adds dodge and gives u 20 percent heal on dodge… There’s hardly any useful aspects to put there… So that’s what I chose, heal heal heal I guess.
Dropped Undying aspect on chest and use concussive strikes for dmg and stagger boss dmg… Gloves are accelerating, but I might finally get to swap to Inner Calm but nothing lasts 3 seconds for me to utilize it, so I just go speed
Thee biggest struggle for this build is I can’t kill trash, but I can kill the boss. I can probably kill a 80 or 85 boss, but not the trash… The disparity between 250m on trash and 3b on boss is too large and there needs to be a way to close that gap
Nice! Is this with Lucion?
Did they change the animation for DB? It seemed crazy slow compared to last season when I tried it yesterday.
I just ran an 80 on my Frenzy guy. Took like 9 minutes. 75 took 6-7 mins, and I run 70’s in 3-5 or so. Barb just feels bad. Very sad.
Yes it’s with Lucion. I run two affixes of resource cost reduction on 1 ring, it drops it to 140 exactly Deathblow fury cost
Also no… The atk speed animation on Deathblow is much much faster and smoother, but I’m also at 120, and I can tell u it’s better than last season. I also run Varyana with Atk speed tree
Shouldn’t the cost be 120 with Lucion and no resource cost reduction?
Base is 80 with Unbridled.
It’s not 120 after 5 stacks Lucion dude, it’s like 175 or something, it’s too much, u have to drop it down to 140, there’s no other way. The gear we have and warbringer paragon only gives u like 240 fury… It’s really bad when u use more than half ur fury, doesn’t always work right
Lucion increases resource cost by 30% per stack, up to 5 stacks. That’s 150%.
150% of 80 is 120.
We got an Update my fellow Deathblow lovers. Made a change and we got pit 80 down in 9 minutes!!!
We put PocQax in our Overkill. We spend 400 percent of our Fury to gain 100 percent increased damage while it spends all of our resources.
Fortunately because of the over healing and fury spent, the fury stays full!!!
This puts our Trash hits at 700m, and the Boss died in roughly 10 seconds… Boss hits at 6-10b
This bigger hit happens like every 3rd or 4th hit it seems, it’s very fast because of how much we spend so quickly which happens very fast at 120 percent atk speed.
Still a bit of a struggle to go through 9 minutes trash, and 10 seconds boss. But I’ll continue to better my gear and share more with you.
We use TamOhm as our other runeword, which reshouts Warcry before it falls because of our attack speed. Happy Deathblowing my friends!!!
Try using the aspect that does 40% increased damage to unstopables and maybe the rune that casts necros curse that executes.
This should speed up your trash mob clear a ton. Elites will start popping and the execute is a huge increase in speed when you struggle with trash mobs.
