Ricgatebecko Thanks for the formula and appreciate it.

Max fury = 100 + 20 (Animosity) + 15 (SoJ) = 135 ;based on my skill preferential of Animosity over Ruthless!

Therefore;
-5 fury from HoTA SoJ = 135/15 = 9
-4 fury from HoTA SoJ = 135/16 = 8.4375

Conclusion; ~11% difference in effectiveness.

yes normal lvl36 xD, thanks for suggestion, will look into it.

LOH use on lvl 36? never try that before. but i'll try it also xD

BTW i got 1b of gold, waiting to use when lvl 60

U meet that 2.5 breakpoint, you normally can WW single boss w/o dry fury..maybe need practice, timing your BR and Sprint wisely.. if possible lure more trash mobs..I know some affix is annoying like shielding, walller..

U need some LoH so you can run like a boss.. life start at lvl60 Inferno .. so do whatever u need to reach lvl60 so you can use all gears..nice budget btw..

My wwOP + HoTA barb ...check it out!

How to play? as follows;-
1. Press Battle Rage -Into the Fray
2. Press Sprint -Run Like the Wind
3. Whirlwind by right click mouse continuously and don't let it go until HoTA phase (see #6)
4. Press WoTB -Thrive on Chaos
5. Spam #1 & #2 repeatedly when fury orb is full and whenever Overpower -Crushing Advance is available, do feel free to press it.
6. HoTA when just 2 enemies are still remaining.
7. Stand on desecrator, swim in poison pool, zap by arcane beam, tickle with electrified, engage Reflect Damage, hots up within the fire trails and etc will fill up the fury orb to finish off 1 enemy left only.

Hope the above action tips help.

Note: Got to highlight that this particular wwOP + HoTA is not the cookie cutter build and has been personalised to enrich my own playing experiences.

ok i'll try that later when after work. BTW 1b now is like 1m, all the items sell in AH is billions haha

use AH wisely and patient, secret for success in D3 ... some items, you can get at vendor price is good enough to carry you to MP9

ic i didnt realize the breakpoint is with wotb..is it possible to do more damage with lower breakpoint?...will be crafting amulet now and than...if i am not lucky with trifecta but got a good amulet with cc and cd and base stats is it still viable?
i gotta practice more...it plays differently than my monk
will try it out when i get the hang of the barb..ini class susah to play and snacking at the same time

thanks bro, will try to increase vit from my chest & shoulder.

I've made a few additional notes and are highlighted in blue!

Dance on multiple arcane=priceless
Spam of the day~~😝

as a DTWW barb, make sure you meet at least that 2.5 BP with wotb.. You skill almost similar with mine http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Sabenar...6/hero/26987726 if you find elites take too long to kill, u in situation when your dps too high for trash mobs (u need trash mobs for fury or brawler) but too low for elites.. in this situation SoJ might help, Soj will drop your dps against trash but increase dps against elites.. so basically, when trash all died, elites also left little health.. make sure you play at correct MP level too, I suggest MP8 for your current setup.. This at least true for DTWW barb with <200k dps (need check your tDPS using D3rawr.com), if you high dps or using WWHoTA or any hybrid build, result might be different..

***

There are Gear that gives u Green Stats (DPS increase) when you are in normal unbuff mode, but becomes Red Stats (Decrease) while in full buff WoTB mode. you can experiment this with D3up...example.. an item might gives u +3k Dps (green) increase in unbuff mode, but after you activate your full buff (WoTB, BR Overpower & etc) , it becomes -600 Dps (red). so if your play style is running perma WoTB, u are actually buying downgrade and not upgrade...

give it a consideration by comparing the item you are buying while in full active Buff mode (WoTB, B.Rage, Overpower...etc)..try D3up..or any similar calculator

tks bro...looking at ur gear...if it eventually comes down to it..i guess all i need to do is to swap out my ik helm for a non crit mempo to reach the breakpoint..loaded up my barb on d3rawr ... tDPS: 611008, versus elite is tDPS: 629338

tks for the tip bro.. quite gear barb ... but fun at the same time...

1 thing to bear in mind b4 investing HUGE amount of gold to achieve current BP for DTWW in order to maintain perma-zerk:
The soon to be nerfed WotB-ToC
Most likely the proc coefficient of Tornados from RltW will be affected therefore increasing the 2.5BP to a higher figure.
Even if they tweak the ToC itself will result in increase of current BP.

DTWW is a huge investment, not super huge but if you're looking at long term then it will cost, for non EF users, you a need 4 gears with 9AS to hit 2.5bp and with 0.25 aps EF, 9,9,8,8 will set you up for 2.5BP and to top that off, high stats + 9%AS will make the items almost at premium. So if you're really looking into hitting that BP, don't make purchases that gives you a small boost, try to get a significant upgrade if you have gold to spare. 2nd, people always buy EF then wonder why they're not hitting BP or getting 10 ticks buffed. There's a big difference between 0.23,0.24,0.25APS EF's. Each speed will determine how much AS you will need in your gear to hit certain BP's so make sure you understand how it works before purchasing.
