The Barbarian chaos perk ‘Single-Minded Fury’ is kind of meme perk, as it requires you to completely unequip all your weapons except for either one 2h weapon or two 1h weapons, playing with the uneducated claim that the Barb is OP because of their many weapons (for the newer fans: people said that when Barbs were almost as strong as Sorcs).
I’m wondering if anyone has found a build that is actually stronger than a regular build using this perk?
Looking at the perk, it will give you:
- 43% chance to overpower (3% + 40%)
- Double the life
- 3x damage
- 200% increased bleed duration
It basically only makes sense to use this for bleed builds, so let’s compare it to the best bleed build: Flay.
Using the Maxroll Flay build, what you loose is:
- 944 strength
- 2648 life
- 666% critical strike damage (funny but true ^^)
- 250-300% bleed duration (2-3 MW crits)
- Two aspects: Earthquakes and Moonrise with each 2.2x damage = 4.8x
- 2 rune words that you could put on your armor and loose another 240 str
I think at this point we don’t even have to discuss if it makes any sense for this build to use the perk. Its simply a massive loss of damage (and likely survivability).
Maybe a Rend build could profit from it (making it C instead of D tier ^^)? Or some hybrid build using LS + Flay? Idk.
