Diablo 3: Perma WOTB Throwbuild using Bloodshed @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rHOMcexWY
When Blizzard announced that they were gonna change how perma WOTB worked and/or modify how "Into the Fray" rune worked, alot of barbs feared the barbarian class would be gimped into oblivion, and left on the same level where the Demon hunters are today.
This spawned a thread over at the US barb forum were some of the "elder barbs" was discussing ideas, and coming up with new builds focused around the "Bloodshed" rune instead of "Into the Fray".
Thread can be found here:
Bloodshed Build and Theorycrafting @ http://eu.battle.net...opic/7427084666
It was in this thread i realized after much testing it would be possible to run a pure HotA build with perma WOTB without the "Into the Fray" rune.
My first tries to make this worked failed for a simple reason, its impossible sustain a 25fury/sec gain without using a mighty weapon.
This was my first try:
I have been playing around with a few different perma WOTB Bloodsheed HotA builds the last few days.
This is the closest ive been to be able to maintain perma WOTB without "into the fray".
As you can see in the video iam still not able to sustain 25 fury per sec, but i think it would be possible if i used a mighty weapon in my mainhand for the extra fury in combo with "weapons master)
This is also why i skip the elite pack and goblin, as i don't make enough fury from single/few targets without a mighty weapon..

Playing around with a Bloodsheed HotA build @
But i have to say, jesus its fun to blow stuff upCheckout the AOE damage 1min and 25 sec into the video =)
Bitter after my first defeat i went out to buy myself a mighty weapon for a retry.. And boy was i right, keeping perma WOTB up is easy as finding a gay man at the Eurovision Song Contest
You just need to hit a few thresholds:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: You need a mighty weapon for the extra fury generation in combo with the "Weapons Master" passive
2: You need as high attack speed as you can get, i would recommend hitting the 2.86 breakpoint in WOTB form. (good for your rltw ticks also)

The build : http://eu.battle.net...UQRP!YZg!aZZZcc
There is a few core skills you have to use to make this build work, and some of them you can change around however you see fit.
1 skill: You need make as much fury as you can with your primary attack, so i would recommend using:
Cleave - Rapture: For maximum AOE damage when you kill enemies.
Cleave - Reaping Swing: If you have problems with your fury income, because of low attack speed.
Bash - Pulverize: Same as above, large AOE --> if you have problems with your fury income, because of low attack speed.
2 skill: Gaining all the fury in the world wont help you to keep perma WOTB if you cant dump the fury..
HotA - Smash: Fits perfectly for this build as a fury dump, and massive damage dealer.
3 skill: Can use whatever you want here, but i would recommend a skill that help with your movement
Sprint - RLTW: Overall the skill that fit best with this build in my mind, as you move faster, get fury income, and do damage with it.
Sprint - Marathon: Simply make you run faster between the enemies.
Leap - Any rune: Poor mans teleport with no fury cost.
Furious Change - Stamina: If you having problems with your fury income because of low attack speed.
4 skill: This build is built around using bloodshed as an alternative to "Into the Fray" so you have to use this here.
Battle Rage - Bloodshed
5 skill: Free skillslot where you can use whatever you want. Can list a few examples.
Overpower - Killing spree: Extra critical hit damage is always good
Overpower - Momentum: If you having problems with the fury income.
Warcry - Any rune: if you having problem in the EHP department.
Revenge - Any rune: if you having problem in the EHP department.
Stomp - Any rune: if you want more disable/crowed control.
6 skill: Wrath of the Berserker ofcourse
Wrath of the Berserker - Thrive on Chaos
Passive skills: There is only one slot that mandatory the rest you can pick yourself.
Weapons Master: Need to use this with a mighty weapon in mainhand for the fury income.

A few closing words:
I really enjoy this build as something fresh, and i love to see these large explosions of the mobs blowing up thanks to the bloodshed rune.
If you want to Perma WOTB with a WW/Nado build you can find more information about that in the US thread linked above.
Please rate or hate, or simply just ask your questions / give me your suggestions

Multiboxing has been around for decades, it has been a topic in WoW a few times, it's such a dead horse, stop beating it.
the only thing automated is a little program that sends your key hits to 4 game versions instead of just one. if one of the chars gets out of sync or anything other than absolute simultanity happens, you are screwed. This is a very old thing and has been allowed since it came up.
Other things may be exploiting, and it is up to Blizzard to define that border line and act if somebody crosses it. Not up to you guys. Stop complaining.

I will not buy this expansion. Had high hopes for loot 2.0, but removing the AH is the most stupid thing they did so far.

Why do people keep saying that gold has no purpouse in the game? It is the trading currency, and it is a much better currency than any item trade based system in D2 ever was. Back in the days you had to calculate the worth of all the different gems and runes and items into some meta-currency and then calculate it back after the trade... With gold you just trad in gold and that is it.
Saying that gold is useless in d3 is about as clever as saying money is useless in the real world and you would much rather trade in chickens and oil barrells...

To be consideret at least a halfway serious part of this discussion.
A chance which you turned down again and again.
You are like one of those religious dopeheads, claiming the blue down from the skies and not being able to provide anything that backs up your opinions.
Just shouting your opinions stronger and more than the next guy does not make you rigth, But you clearly expressed that you are not interested in being rigth anyway, you just want to lecture down on us because you obviously ate the truth with spoons. As knigth pointed out various times, you learn how to present a argument properly some time around 8th grade. Maybe you want to come back to online duscussions after you passed that and learned how to argue properly..
I knew before those posts that your opinions can not be taken serious, you just delivered the final proof. Welcome to my ignore list.

Yeah, I know, it only a semantic question anyway ^^ To me, melee means hitting something with a weapon that you hold in your hands.
But I dont want to distract from the main point of this thread too much, which is a fun build

Seriously though, you can not compare that directly, the classes work way too different.

The AH is nothing but a trading platform. If you are not happy with itemisation or drop rates or your drop luck or whatever, then complain about those, not about the AH.
This part is particularily stupid. Imagine somebody buying a 2 billion item and finding a 5 billion upgrade later. I am pretty sure he wants his original 2bill back by selling his item. It's not his fault that you never traded anything valuable. Most oher people have.
That's pretty much the situation we have in HC. I dont know how much you played it, but the effect is not what you imagine. Items are RARE. You will not be able to buy any set or legendary item ( for lvl 60 ) because they all cost billions. Yes, new drops have value. So much that you wont be able to afford it, and only the very few rich 0.5% at the top can ever afford them.

- crafting made rares and most legendaries obsolete for shoulders, bracers, amulet, golves. You will not sell rares on those slots for much because people who will pay heavily for items craft those slots.
- improved legendaries : Most weaspons now actualy have a BiS or near BiS legendary weapon. Skorn for twohanders, echoing fury for onehanders, manticore for bows. You will never sell ANY 2handed melee weapon for much because there are so many skorns now on th emarket that have better stats as 99.99999% of the rare twohanders you find.
You can either try selling selffound stuff, and this is the long road, or you can start playing the AH. Some people like that, some dont, but it is certainly the fastest way to make gold. Just as in real life
ps : i doubt that that amulet is worth that much.
ps2 : 5 months ago is a LONG time. Expect that every item that you got 5 months ago is now worth AT BEST a 10th of its original price. Unless we are talking absolutely best top high end items, those prices go up. All the other prices go down as crazy.
