Not sure what to think

Apr 22, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Skills To Get Their Elemental Type Shifted, Legendary Sources and Mojos To Be Buffed, BoP Working As Intended, Condemn BuildThe 6 piece crusader set was basically blizzard's hotfix during the beta to make the Crusader a viable class for end-game before release.Posted in: News
There is build diversity, but yes it does require armor of akkhan if you are wanting to push to end-game content (Torment-6). For lower difficulties the Crusader is one of the most diverse class in the game currently since there are many weapons that you can literally build around.
It's not like any of the other classes aren't as gear intense as the Crusader to farm T6, your statement is basically true for all classes. -

perhaps he can explain to me what I'm doing wrong because I have much better gear overall from what I've seen from the video clip.

now compare the above to a condemn spec running T6 rifts

Apr 16, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Safe T6 Farming Guide, LastZoul's Maximus Holy Crusader Build, Show Off Your TransmogsOk just tested his exact build with better gear + 6 piece akarat's so that there is no down-time.Posted in: News
Couple points to why I don't believe this is T6 viable (compared to other builds I'm currently already running that are clearing at much faster speeds and I would consider T6 Viable)
- No mobility (it makes it really hard to take advantage of the pet proc when we have 0 mobility skills to maneuver and position outselves)
- Very low DPS output on single target
- The pet is the bulk of the damage in this build (spec isn't really in synergy), this pet also dies way too easily at T6 to elites/rift boss
- Judgetment makes no sense for such a wide AOE build that spams the entire map (judgetment only gives crit bonus for a 20 yard radius and if you notice in his video and I will post my highlight of testing later, a large portion of the attacks don't benefit from the spec)
I even tried a better variation of this build that improves it's damage significantly and it was much much slower than all the other T6 builds that I've tried.
The rift boss alone took over 6 minutes (extremely bad solo dps as mentioned above), even with good RNG and illusionist rift boss (most are not illusionist and are single target), it will still take over 3 minutes with optimal gear.
THIS isn't a TROLL. -

I'm about to test his exact build with much better gear and see if it works or not because I have all the pieces he mentioned in the video. Will report with results after.Quote from JustTryAnotherHaha, mannercookie, there is a video where it seems to do the job. Maybe the paragon level and gear also matter a lot in this case. What happened when you tried it? Was it just non-intuitive, weak, uninteresting or did you straight up die several times? We should get to the bottom of how, when and why builds work or don't work.

BUT based off the testing of my Crusader, I would not consider that to be a T6 efficient build. -

Please dig a little deeper, there are lots of quality content that needs attention because there are tons of misinformation surrounding the game right now for multiple classes. -

Just FYI
This video was made for people who have been watching my testing and covered topics that were asked numerous times throughout weeks.
If you did not understand nor enjoy the material, then that's fine.
I didn't ask Diablofans to put it on the front page, if you don't like the content and it's boring to you, move along and go on with your day.
pretty simple if you ask me

Sure there may be a nerf in store for barbs just like what happened to crusaders and rolands. My estimate is the nerf on Roland bracer and change to F+R droped Crus about 6 levels of Grifts from what they could do first patch of ptr.
However, Rolands actually works now so it's still a huge improvement and considering the same for IK set. No one used this set so anything is a big improvement over the current live servers.
I sound like a broken record but I've been saying trials is the most cancerous thing to be introduced to this game and a completely broken concept.
The fact that it may be more efficient to make a lower level key and then try and speed clear that into the lvl of key we need just comes to show how retarded the system is and how over time it's just gonna get worse and worse.
The first 50 waves of trials is pretty much pointless after 100 hours of gameplay now

Glad to see everyone excited about new possible builds such as Seismic Slam, it's been a fun build to use for both solo and in groups.
Put a team together and managed to get Grift 68, will update later with a highlight.
For now I started a dfans build for those that have been looking for this setup without having to watch the video.

Hi Guys,
I don't have a thread here in the barb section that's active so thought I'll create this thread to share some of the things I've been testing on PTR and a place to discuss like over in the Crusader Forum.
This is a very big patch for the barbarian since Perm Berserker was removed and ROS came out.
Have been spending a lot of time enjoying the PTR and the new changes.
Here's everything I've tested thus far and links to the highlights of the stuff I tested.
