Why is this thread crying about something that’s already been fixed? Do you even realize how pathetic that is?

Because the hotfix only came out 10 hours ago, and the comments are from before the patch.

Hope they fix IT soon. Can Blizzard comment?
The chest is till bugged though, hotfix didnt work.
Still? Was wanting to give this thing a go. Guess I’ll just stick to a more or less strictly HotA build. It’s getting the job done in T3 at least.
My money is on there being a bugged interaction with some critical things like Lucion’s not working with it, or Executioner or something. There is quite a bit still broken in the game.
Is it really still bugged? I swear it was doing damage on explosions…
Definitely bugged still, watch Rob2628s video/stream.
Im running around blasting stuff with it on. not sure if its helping or hurting, but the effect looks nice 
Just a casual hoping to start this weekend. If they can’t fix the plate I might just roll necro this season.
It works it’s just that the explosion isn’t worth it until higher pit tiers the earthquakes do enough damage on their own. That’s why Rob is playing ww earthquake
Can you give further details on this? How is it not worth it till higher pit tiers? Are you saying EQ kills everything too fast until then to bother with it?
Its definitly worth it - farming 110s in 5 mins on eternal (no witchracft powers), EQ are very strong and when they go boom, its awesome aoe, bosses are melting, uberbosses die as fast as they apear - at least i can finally enjoy some higher pits solo (they did nothing to basic or another real damage dealing weapons skills…).

There is just more to get out of the fire non phys damage from the earthquake explosions than you do with the HOTA’s physical damage. It has to be with using the Ugly Bastards helm with it for me that is doing the trick but thats how I am enjoying it. I remade the whole build to suite my tastes though keep in mind. I just perform a bunch of leaps (bul kathos aspect, brawling cooldown and mobility cooldown tempers on the amulet) and then explode the many earthquakes I have made via a single HOTA+Mountains Fury chest. Ez pz 
I see the pit pushing variant from MaxRoll does add that helm and makes other changes including removing leap and going with Wrath of the Berserker ultimate.
Not sure I want to lose Leap which is so fun…and I can do pit 110 currently pretty easily.

I dont use leap, i play bash+shako+grandfather (performs suprisingly better than 120+eq fire + 10 heavy hitter).
Got mine and it seems to work ok. I leap in and HoTa and the animation goes off and things go splat.
Not using anything crazy with it, just an Ugly Bee so it’s got to be some interaction or other
This game was and still is bugged af, but I am not using dat fresh unique and HoTa, but lunging strike together with MoniTec runes which makes me very happy. I’m not barbarian, but d2 cataclysm+tornado druidarian now.
I think this is the most damage barb has done in a while. I have a Tyreal Chest, but I’m still using the hota one. Aggressive resistance is bugged (it says 4% DR on the toolbar no matter what lvl) but I picked up some damage resistance nodes in the tree and that made up on defenses. One witchdoctor power was 1 shotting people, I changed it or they hot fixed it, forget which one it was. Anyways, not running any ubers, pretty basic 1-2 GA items, can steamroll any content in the game. Running ohm and EQ runes with super ancients
