DiabloFans

Hello everyone!

I posted this on the official forums but haven't been able to get a response so I thought I'd post it here to try and get some help: ).

I just got back to Diablo 3 after a break. I really liked the Seasonal rewards this time(Andariel's wings!) so I thought I'd start playing again : ).

I was able to get the Chapter IV achis for the wings done easily but I then felt the urge to see how high I could go on the GR charts. I decided to use the old WW build from back in the day but with somechanges I saw mentioned on the diablofans website. The WW build on df.com is advertised to hit GR90+ using it however I'm having trouble getting past GR 50. My gems are rank 40+ with the highest being Taeguk at 50.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? or If the build mentioned on df.com is incorrect. If so, what is the current best build to hit the highest possible GR level.This is my character as he is at the moment.

Thank you for your time.

Main problem with builds is that their sales line ("GR90+!" and so on) doesn't say that you most probably need to be 1000+ paragon, and to have entire ancient gear augmented, and to have gems that are 80+ level

You can check builds and items of people that achieved leaderboards by pressing in game Shift+L, and then selecting Hero Details. That might give you some idea on what works and what not.

For you, you need ancient weapons first, that should boost your damage for ~5 tiers of GR, and then to start working on toughness.

I can recommend Charge/Boulder toss build, which I am using now, and I'm having easy time in GR65 (without any augments and partialy ancient gear)

This is my barbie: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ch1zra-1866/hero/2002889

Other builds that rock hard are pure charge and fire based Might of the Earth, so take a look into those builds and just keep farming.

Unfortunately this build you mentioned is nothing but bullshit.

WW can do 85+ but you need 2000 paragons and all ancient augmented gear for it.

Forget about it for now.

There are 3 top builds:

raekor/ik charger

lon frenzy barb

earthquake MOTE barb

with Raekor/Charger being the most popular/esiest to gear for/farm with.

Thanks for the quick response guys!. I was afraid of that GR90+ thing not being quite accurate : P

So I've followed your advice and had a look at the top barbs. I went with 6pc IK and 4pc Raekor bonus with Royal Ring setup. If you could both have a look at my updated barb and let me know what you think, If there are any changes to me made to gear, skill/rune choices and/or gems, I'd great appreciate it : ).

Thanks again!

I am sleepy as hell at the moment, but by looking at your character, this looks like an improvement. I'd say run 50s untill you pump your gems to 50, and then try slowly to go higher. Of course, ancient weapon would be good, but that is not up to you, it's up to game whether it will drop it or not

And one more thing, if you are confident and are doing 50s with ease, you could swap out Vile Ward for Nemesis Bracers, it speeds up rifting quite a lot.

But that of course depends on your play style and what suits you the best

Diablo is grind fest that requires a lot of time invested:

- You need to farm up your gear

- You need to farm up materials and keys

- You need to level up gems you will use

- You need to level up gems that you will spend for Augments

This can eat up a lot of time, and having a group helps a lot (especially if you have someone with who you can talk on skype or teamspeak while doing it). It becomes tedious at some point. For me it's usualy arround paragon ~800 and when I finish Season Journey, because of other things in life that require attendance, like work and sleep and family time

Hello again!
I have been playing around with build and made some progress on gear as well. However, I'm stuck again and require yours anyone else who is willing to help's advice.
I'm now using this build with Ancient Spear - Boulder Toss as my main Damaging ability after building around 50 stacks of the Furious Charge buff on elites. I have hit a brick wall at GR 68. I can't seem to progress to GR 69 I end up taking too much damage/deaths and the damage done is nothing to boast about either. Would love to hear any tweaks I can do to move ahead, either to gear or completely try some other build If my current one's not viable anymore.
Thanks in advance : )

Damage wise, swap in cube Furnace for Three hundredth spear.

For sustain, I pulled out my 75 with this build without Focus/Restraint. I used combo of Convention of elements / Band of might.

i also see that you are making the same mistake I did when first started this build, stacking FC charges. If you take a look of set bonus description:

(6) Set:
Every use of Furious Charge increases the damage of your next Fury-spending attack by 750%. This effect stacks. Every use of a Fury-spending attack consumes up to 5 stacks.

So, Charge until you get 5 stacks, then NUKE, charge again 'till 5 stacks, then NUKE. Don't Toss only on elites, whenever you get decent density of trash, and you have 5+ charges of FC, guess what?

NUKE!

Should work, although i prefer toss variant more, 6 RK / IK

Hello again.
I just wanted to post an update and also thank you for your help.

I was able to break into the Top #1000 Barbarians in Europe. Here is a link to my Armory to show Gear, Skill and Kadala layout for those that may be interested. I will try to break into the Top #500 before calling It a season : ).
Once again thank you very much!.

I was playing the good old whirlwind last night on the PTR to test out the 6 piece change.

It looks like they changed it from 2500% additive to 400% Multiplicative damage.

So far its looking much better. While not the absolute best, its going to bring back the fun for WW.

how much do u crit for ? looks interesting that change.

Damn nice mate!

One question though, why you ignored that Shield Pylon?

I kind of went with this build though, inspired by Sindro's Cleave/Bash barb and some Frenzy/Bash barbs I saw in games. Think it will go far?

http://geeksbecoolkids.blogspot.sg/2017/01/the-frenzy-bash-immortal-king.html

Or should I just stick with the usual HotA build instead?

not sure, not very fan on frenzy, i rather play leap or hota then.

Alright, will try out HotA when I get the ancient 2H.

The build focuses more on Bash than Frenzy though, the Frenzy is just used to increase the speed of Bash. So you might wanna have a go at it.

The Frenzy/Bash build can now be view on this site instead:

Tried creating this build on DiabloFans but there seems to be an error. This might not be the BEST build but it was fun while it lasted!!!

**I have recently just hit GR75 with this build. Tough one but it means its possible!!

yeah no shit
