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..

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

I hope that most people still remember the pain in the backside that direct trading was in D2 and that yes, you will be the only one.

We should be glad that we actualy have a currency that is somewhat valuable and actualy USABLE as a currency. Having to make up your own currency as in D2 ( Soj's, then runes ) is a major pain in the ass and anyone who would like to have that back obviously did not trade enugh in D2 to realise what a pain it was.
Some of the other ideas may be good, but the trading post idea. OMG NO WAY IN HELL !
Also, you r claim that the trading post would increase player interaction is not true, It's just another anonimous trade window, you just removed the currency and moade it more complicated.
Edit : actualy, I dont like the mystic idea either. It's just another gold sink. Gold sinks are great for Blizzard and for keeping ah-prices in check, but me as a player, i'd rather not have to spend more gold.
About the only idea I find interesting is improving the dungeons and itemisation. The rest has been discussed before and neither me nor the blizzard game design team seem to like it.

It is a dumb idea still.
1 : removing items from the market will only make 2 things : less items to pick from and higher prices. Do you relay think that it will help you gear up when you have less choice and you have to pay more for it ??
2 : If you make items BoA after they were in the AH, but you can still trade normaly as long as they are not in the AH, then nobody will use the AH any more and we will be back to the D2 days with forum trading and general chat spam.

You got spoiled and now you only accept the top 0.00001% of items to be "good".
There is a level between useless and best in slot. THere are items that wont sell for 100's of billions and still are usable. YOu just dont see that any more because you only want the best of the top of the very best and you call that "good" and everything else is crap.
Problem : you are spoiled.

You keep forgetting Diablo 2, where we had to make our own AH's out of the game with stupid forum auctions and stuff. It was WAY WORSE. You had to "play" the forums more than you played the game. You realy want that back ?
If you dont wanna buy items, play selffound. Leave the AH for all the others who like a easy way of trading.
This nonsence realy has to stop. The AH is not the root of the problem. Stop dreaming.

There you go, that's all it needs.
