unfortunately barb still lacks good single target skills.. i will say cota if you want one, and mirinae for extra std.

ya bro xD

grats bro, just gamble whatever piece you missing. trifecta glove or cc chd vit is good also. if you manage to get a good piece, roll secondary for chance to stun, couple with vaxo for extra std. or HF amulet for good passive, many choices now. not sure if i'm free tonight, pm you in game if i'm on.

PSA: Mortick's Brace was removed from Patch 2.2 and will not drop.

Don't waste your BS on bracer for now.

for ww build, currently highest clear is gr 53 using 5ww+3ik. but if you want a "best" ww build in 2.2, then we will need to let the dust settle until those GR kaki get their optimal gear and rift setup.

anyway!

It's just day 2, hard to say. anyway, gr 53 waste+ik video:

edit: if you want to push the leaderboard as far as you can, reakor will still be the number 1 choice. unless something changes for ww. happy farming!

later they all reakor then put on ww gear.. haha. but yeah waste+ik is a big thing now. wait for a few more days then we will know.

grats! time to venture into the 5x rift!

ya.. family night. ^^

nice! let see how much waste5+3ik can push~

currently the gear that everyone uses in high GR (50+) is waste5+ik3, it's the balance of dmg output to clear high gr and damage mitigation. Reakor has the potential if one can fish hard enough, but i guess everyone is tired of that playstyle.

casual group play sure can, you can mitigate via cota-together as one too.

Grats rick! off topic, can you give me some luck on ikbb? haha.. jk. grats again!

if you ww, it's either IKBB or BKO. yes 5 pieces waste, 3 pieces IK + rorg is what most higher gr players use now.

ikbb = immortal king's boulder breaker
bko = bul-kathos oath

haha, not enough time commit to season like those streamers.. already 300 400 plvl

it's very good, hit like a truck. waste set is like a moving tank, strong, steady but a bit slow pace for me. also remember not to choose dust devil as your ww rune if you use waste set, you can choose another one like blood funnel or wind shear for t6 or lower gr because you kill the mob so fast you can't regen enough fury to keep up the pace.

haha.. come back to NS la bro, your buddy f3do miss you so much!

Skull grasp is not good because the additional ww damage it provides is of additive side. Besides, most of your damage comes from dust devil, not whirlwind.

Unity is ok in 5ww+3ik setup, but you will lose a lot of damage using unity in IK5+BKO setup because focus + restraint makes your damage 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 times higher. Without F&R IK5+BKO has very low damage output.

COE is nice if you have more than 1 element in your build. For example if you run lightning cota in your build, then COE will benefit you more due to more uptime on COE - lightning for cota and physical for dust devil. Barb has 4 element, so if you have a 200% coe, it means overall an 50% damage boost to all element. To compare to SOJ:

Stone of jordan :
2 primary rolls ( crit + socket would be optimal )
20% Elemental damage
30% Elite damage

Convention of Elements
4 primary rolls ( Crit chance, damage, socket, mainstat /AS )
50% element damage.

Good DPS SOJ = 20% elemental, 30% elite, CHD/CHC, OS

Good COE = Main stat, CHC (guarantee), CHD, OS

You lose 30% elite damage for 30% elemental damage with additional 2 primary affix.

And.. thats is for 1 element, if you use multiple element in your build, it's a clear winner.

Cota do their own thing, you ww all the time. You dont need to track this ring other then maybe rend.

COE>SOJ.

Agree.

In Vanilla, you bash 3 times, then keep holding ww (as long as ww doesn't stop, you gain permanent damage increase from bash:punish, then you run like the wind for movement speed, main damage output and to dump fury. Use BR:into the fray to regain your fury when you crit, to regain more fury, you use OP:killing spree for another 8% crit. When you gain fury, you add more time into WOTB for perma zerker. They sync with each other.

It's true that the new ww has 0 synergy in skills. Because set items took care of that, so our skill slots are filled with offensive (BR) and defensive (WC/lightning cota) skill - to make more damage and take less damage, not to sync.

JW is indeed a genius. And props to Dino, the originator of WW/RLTW.

Your problem will be solved by Mortick Bracer!.. Wait.. Nvm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTRAagg02s8

weapon damage type won't affect your dmg output. element do. So if you use WW+dust devil rune, you can stack physical for more dmg.

another example is if you use Waste 6 bonus, since you get dust devil rune automatically and you can choose another ww rune, if you use WW+windsheer rune then you will have higher ww+dd dmg output by stacking lightning. It means dust devil element type is according to your ww rune selection.

WW% on items also incease ww AND DD dmg. But skull grasp does not (for DD). So ideally you want to roll WW dmg on boots, and helm only if you can afford to lose 23% life gem on helm (Str/VIT/CC/WW no socket).

for your weapon, i will roll away RCR to socket, then roll it to 10% dmg when you have a gift.

I guess you're doing speed farming? For speed farming yeah, mobs die too fast to generate enough fury. You don't need berserker rage passive because as you said you're never full or almost full fury. I will take fury cota, wind sheer, unforgiving, weapon mastery (if you use mighty weapon, if you don't, try animosity), hexing pant (if you have one) and change templar 4th skill to the one that generate fury. Also use warcry - charge if you're speed farming. Overpower - momentum generate fury too but it's not very reliable. Yes if you're using windsheer most of the time go for lightning damage bracer.

ASPD doesn't increase the "damage" of your ww and DD, it just makes them hit more often / more ticks, so more damage, but not in the sense of increasing the "raw damage".

These are the breakpoints for WW and DD:

Pop Wotb, check your APS with 7% on glove and without, if it reaches a new significant breakpoint, you can go for it.

edit: Just check your gear, dont roll 7% on glove, go CHD, it's better. 7% is an option if you can roll vit to IAS. Else keep cc and chd.
