Good evening friends, i come today to ask for some new insight on what i could improve on my barb for solo progression, cleared 43 the other day but struggling big time with 44/45.
Some side information, i am still looking for the belt which increases ignore pain duration (keep forgeting the name)
and i have both the bul karthos ring & unity altough beeing forced to use rorg/unity since im not using reakors head instead of unity + bkwb/soj (also im using mirane gem for grifts, not botp)
I also use either posion resist or fire resist neck when running grift, although mostly fire resist to avoid getting brutally murdered by fire chains and other nasty fire affixes
Where do you guys feel the "sweetspot" for cdr currently lies?
With leorics head im sitting at 40,90 cdr and if i change to reakors it drops dramatically to a low 20% cdr which feels really uncomfortable since i dont have % cdr on neither shoulders nor weapon. Should i consider sacrificing %fc roll on shoulders to cdr or 10% dmg on my furnace to %cdr and drop the leorics head for reakors to get rid of my terrible rorg?
Is there any real use for %movement speed ? should i care to invest paragon points in it when im running with 12% on boots?
It really comes down to the RG eventually. Run poison immunity amulet and hunt for Ghom. It is possible to clear gr 45 in 6-9 minutes consistently. While hunting for Ghom, you will possibly clear tens of grifts and get 0 items but the experience you get from trash mobs is really good so there's that. You need CDR on shoulders. Don't get rid of vile wards, don't sacrifice damage for cdr on weapon unless the damage roll is already high imo. Get an amulet with 100 chd. If you can't get 33 cdr without leoric, then reroll the furnace to cdr i guess. But get 33+ cdr and get rid of the rorg, use a bk ring and get a better soj, that one is horrible, don't ever roll off the elemental damage...
Thanks alot for the great feedback jamoose, havent really considered "hunting" for specific rift guardians before now as i find it tedious to just give up on a rift if i dont see certain bosses, but surely i'll give it a try, anything to push the leaderboards.changed arround some gear and looking at the poison resist neck it comes with 8% cdr on it, rolled ias -> socket. so now ( without changing my vile vards fc damage ) and changing leorics to reakors im running with 33,33% cdr.
Out of curiosity, is the 33% a cap of x mobs needs to be hit for 0 cooldown?
and do you have anything to share regarding my question of movement speed? Is it worth investing paragon points in it aswell as having 12% on the boots?

Max movement speed. Always. So if you have 12% ms from gear, get 13% from paragon.
Not really sure why 33 cdr but that's just what "everyone" is recommending. You should test for yourself and see why low cdr can suck.
The ideal amulet is elemental damage, chd, cc, socket. You can live without a 3rd socket so a possible good mara has str instead of a socket. So your mara amulet now has str, cdr, soc and? anyway, you need to replace this eventually.
The thing with Ghom hunting is that you kind of need to use Mirnae's gem so 3 gems could actually be a requirement. I would rate the gems (when hunting for Ghom) as so: Bane of the trapped, Mirnae, Pain enhancer. If not hunting for Ghom, probably go for Toxin instead of Mirnae.
If you use Bk ring + toxin + PE, your dot damage along with the dot from FC will be quite insane but this setup is mainly for groups. On solo you always go for a unity ring and the perfect stats are soc+chd (the cc and elite dmg are base rolls) and you really need the right stats on amulet and soj.
Thanks again for the Quick reply, is it 13% ms total? Meaning i Will only have to get 1% from paragon? And my mara has str,Chc, cdr and socket. Not optimal but its the only One ive gotten so far, always looking for upgrades

I would link my barb but its geared for T6 atm.
33% is the min for hit 3 enemies. do the math. (10*.66)/2 = 3.3 this get rounded to 3 enemies hit.

No, it's 25% ms maximum. So if you have 12% on boots, you get 13% more from paragon. If you got 0 on gear, max out movement speed in paragon before putting anything into STR. Movement speed should always be maxed on every character on any build. The only time i can think of where you don't need MS at all would be as a demon hunter in trials since you are basically standing still and shooting.
And thanks @Kamui for the confirmation.
Edit: Some classes can have more than 25% base MS iirc but not the barb. Your MS as a barb can only go over 25% with buffs like sprint, warcry with chilanik, fleeting shrine, speed pylon, etc...
Edit: @OP check my previous post i did some corrections regarding the rings.
I'm currently running the reakors physical build and you can see my gear here on my profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Monsrud-1585/hero/151301
