@NecroVoid you continually are leapfrogging around, generating fury all the time. Understanding the mechanics will get you thru.

 

But anyhow, as not having The Furnace I used the "Three Hundreth Spear" as a alt, no furnace yet.  works pretty well, and independent of elites

I am officially petitioning for the name of this build be changed to the Donald Trumparian, since all you do is leap up and down and all around like you're having a giant temper tantrum... :D

@NecroVoid - One of your most important survival pieces will be getting a Band of Might, either to wear if you don't yet have Focus/Restraint, or cubed.  It gives you 8 seconds of damage mitigation every time you leap, 50-60% if you wear it, 60% if cubed.  As your primary means of dealing damage and moving about when enemies are present is Leap, it is the preeminent means of survival... other than the oldest axiom in all of gaming, "don't stand in the fire"!

There isn't really a specific number of toughness that I can tell you to aim for, but if you're struggling to get through T4, then you are definitely missing some of the recommended items.

Can you link your armoury?

I'll have to put in a note for that, but I doubt many will agree for a change :p

I didn't see "Luk" Boots in the build...do those no longer exist? I would think leaping three times in a row would be huge to this build if they are still in the game?

From the guide:

Quote

The Kanai's Cube recommendations are as follows:  The Furnace (Progression) or  In-geom (Speedfarm) for the weapon slot,  Lut Socks for the armor slot, and  Band of Might (Progression) or  Avarice Band (Torments) for the jewelry slot.

Hope this helps.

Quick question, since we have two shouts that can trigger quakes and avalanches would it be worth it to drop battlerage for war cry or is the 10% damage and crit splosions worth more?

BR is worth more.

I currently have 27% cdr and it feels little lack luster even with the 170 max fury boulder tosses. Is it worth dropping either crit chance or damage on ring/rings to get more cdr for instant resets on the leap? At GR70 im already starting to feel the lack of damage but leaving myself voulnerable for that 1 second is getting me killed on some rifts.

Currently going with Skular's and In-geom for farming, do have similarly statted Parthans and Furnace for cube.

Would this build benefit from Red Soul Shard, instead of a Diamond? or is the extra damage proc not worth the CDR loss?

[Guest Superjodokus]

Great guide!!
Im getting back to diablo, and kinda lost the knowledge i had, thanks to this i can jump right back in where i left off!

Firstly, thank you for your work on these build guides. My wife and I are using them all, pretty much.

My question, which I did ask in the general section, is in regard to socketed jewelry: I have but do not use Focus and Restraint, because my HellFire and Bul Kathos Wedding Band have better stats. By a lot. Is the benefit from the socketed Legendary Gems enough to offset a significant drop in pure stats?

Not that I am hurting for completing Grifts (I am on about 65 and completing those in about 7 minutes), but the jewelry question is something that had been my wife and I had been wondering.

Red Soul Shard is rather fun, than useful. It staggers the user from time to time. And anyway CDR is needed to keep up constant Leaping which will give you 50-60%  dmg reduction permanent.

Hello,

How many ruby and diamond should i use for torse and pants ?

[Guest Taranis]

Thank you so much for this guide, Iv'e fallen in love with the Barb once again. I've found myself using Brawler instead of Rampage as a 4th passive, as the stacks drop off too often when pushing solo. Is there a better alternative? My best is 74, but there I hit a wall. Would you offer any advice in gear changes I can make to get over that hump? 
Thank you, and thanks again for all your effort!

And it's the Toon that has the least self-control and Screams the most.

I'm curious if Deadset has revamped this for 2.5.0?  I've seen some builds that use different Bracers, Amulets and maybe another Item.  Any ideas?

What do you means by " Life per Fury Spent " ?  I dont find it when i want enchant.

Super late with this, are you still having the same issues?

The red soul shard really isn't the best gem, at all. The extra CDR is also very important and will likely result in more damage than the shard could ever do.
