Hi everyone,
disclaimer : hc only player here, that counts for the build survivability 
First of all, sorry for my bad English, its not my native.
I am not in the wagon of hate against blizzard, I love d4, I love barb. I intentionally dont play the Sb this season because it is absurd to me to face roll the game. I have 3 barbs, all in t4, slowly going above pit 80. All my own builds, didn’t follow guides, and I dont die, that’s ok for me 
I already have :
- bleed rend (nice upgrade, can now go in t4 easy, was struggling before )
- Bash barb ( my push char, t80 right now )
- Upheaval , new one , lots of potential, already in t4 despite nothing optimized yet, but the significant buffs helped a lot, very fun top play also
I found the worst unique ever : 100 000 steps, with 4 ga’s and almost perfect proc. I know its a weak unique. But I was wondering if there was something to do with it, battle mad aspect, and maybe iron maelstrom ? I love this ultimate so much. It is weak, but, if I cumulate the dmg buff from 100 000 steps, battle mad, and walking arsenal, maybe it can do something ? like stomp t3 ? Would be so nice .
Any ideas ?
battle mad aspect is good, but iron maelstrom not so much. As you start build around it you will end up with another Quake/DD build. I wish iron maelstorm will be good on season 7, waiting to see the full patch notes next week.
That’s so sad, iron maelstrom is so bad a**, the animation, the sound, the fact it uses all weapons and can be cast so often. Really hope they give a buff !
Iron Maelstrom has a lot of problems. If you want build idea without leaving Normal or Hard, try a Shattering Iron/Unchained build. I tried 100,000 Steps back in Season 3 but couldn’t ever find any use for that extra Fury.
100k turds is dog water, if you want to try iron maelstrom you better go with the amulet that reduces the cooldown each time you use steel grasp. I was able to speed farm t2 with that setup: unique amulet+ancients oath+battle mad+min max you can probably make it t3 speedfarm, maybe even t4. Damage against bosses sucks thugh.
They are in S7. You have at least 2 Aspects that will directly buff it and also give you a damage buff for using it. It is doubtful however that IM will be the Primary Damage however and instead decent AoE damage and act as Support.
Leap/Quake pairs very well focusing on Ground Stomp and Power Kick for Damage and particularly Single Target Damage.
I’m glad they buff walking arsenal passive it’s looking good now. 45% damage on top of 20% attack speed and cc duration.
After few seasons of unbridled rage and talisman build, I want to try something fresh.
Trying to make something like this for S7 (work in progress): (https://d4builds.gg/builds/0aaafe8f-8e76-49f5-a9ed-082a53a798d6/?var=0)
I tried everything I could with 100k steps, I didn’t reach anything viable, hope those get a rework or it will stay a bad item. After all every HnS needs bad items to make other shine 
it’s sad to be unable to use a perfect 4 gas
So I use this Amy which rdc iron maelstrom and every single mfg increase source to increase its dmg. I absolutely wreck t2 mayb there’s room for t3 if min maxed
I think 100k steps doesn’t synergies well with iron maelstrom. You don’t need the fury gain, you also don’t need ground stomp to reset your ult. This boots looks more suitable for WOTB with fury spender builds.
You would have an idea ? I used walking arsenal key , that’s why I first thought of iron maelstrom to refresh it fast
I currently play upheaval and I swapping between 2 - 3 weapons. You don’t have to use iron maelstrom to refresh the key passive. But I don’t use walking arsenal atm because it’s too weak. If they don’t buff unbridled rage next season I will switch over to walking arsenal.
2-3 weapon with upheaval ? You have generator , and what would be the third ? Charge or something ? Sorry but I am interested 
It’s the only thing I have to play before poe2 and I don’t want to play cheat born until he’s not god.
I don’t understand why blizzad added CC duration. They could change that into impairment reduction instead. Being Unstoppable is asking too much it seems.
They should have just rolled Relentless Armsmaster and Luckbringer into WA. When you have the WA Key Passive Bonus, increased Lucky Hit Chance by 30%, 50% Fury Generation, and 15% Fury Reduction Cost on top of Multiplicative Damage and Attack Speed.
The other Key Passives should all be buffed greatly.
Right. Having utility over damage is more enticing. I still find it odd only Walking Arsenal has aspect interactions. Gushing Wound would benefit a lot from Legendary Aspects.
The Legendary Aspects (and Unique) gated behind a Keystone is limiting and not a great idea. It is already very difficult to even take Legendary Aspects as a whole. As Blizzard increases the amount of Legendary Aspects and Uniques while retaining the same amount of item slots that is even more true.
- 100,000 Steps should be redesigned to not require the WA Keystone Passive.
- 100,000 Steps should be changed to provide both Bul-Kathos and Earthquake Aspect combined.
- 100,000 Steps Earthquakes would be changed to proc off ALL Brawling Skills. This would include Charge and Kick.
- 100,000 Steps Passive changed to provide Movement Speed increase after gaining Unstoppable and Unhindered for the duration and 4 seconds after.
- 100,000 Steps Affixes changed to Movement Speed, Earthquake Size, All Resists, and Cooldown Reduction.
- Luckbringer and Relentless Armsmaster get added to WA Key Passive.
I think 100,000 Steps should proc off WA after just using Ground Stomp instead of require WA to cast Ground Stomp. Or even go so far as to use ANY Defensive skill to proc the full benefit of WA.
I wanted so bad to use those boots, 4 ga, and 90 fury, almost perf. I wanted to use them, so I tried many builds, and ended with a hilarious mix
- Hota ( second source of damage along with the tons of earthquake )
- rupture ( reset cooldown with rage of harrogate )
- Flay ( third weapon use and damage reduction with stacks and alternate hits between hota’s
- Call of the ancients
- Iron skin (I dont wanna invest in warcrimes, and the buff is pretty awesome )
- Stomp (900% brawling dmg, with earthquake , and huge props between the boots every 5 sec and the reset cd from rupture )
- Walking arsenal key
I wanted to be able to use all that fury so I ended… with a perfect rolled two ga’s Lucion ! which is a permanent 75% dmg buff, with battle mad, and walking arsenal etc I have such increase overall dmg, even the earthquakes and the stomps seems to hit hard,
I can have a use for my 200 fury pool with loran’s Amy and Lucion every single hit is a critical, and I have sometimes like 5 earthquakes even more on the screen, perma ancients for fury regen, in fact I am amazed that this stupid build was instantly face rolling t3, to a point I am sure to go t4 once glyphs and stuff is upped, with 0 mythic.
Of course the boots are one of the weakest unique ever, but with those alone I am at 200% speedup which is really fun, the gameplay is fluid and not clunky at all, I alternate one flay, one hota, and rupture to gain 40% as and reset cd and refresh wa. Fluide, super fun, and surprisingly effective. Loran is extremely strong when perfect roll with a huge fury pool
I love this game. Gonna push this fun build to the limits to see if I can go t75+
The way I see it blizzard is reluctant to give premium buffs to barb. Upheaval has been buffed twice this season. They could just buff it all the way at the start of season, instead they took a really careful measure. Looks like they don’t want barb to be the top dog again.
