I am sending my Barbarian, Barbar, into retirement today. He is an Immortal King's / Wastes (Grandeur) Barb.

[image loading]

Barbar simply cannot compete in Ladder Season Hardcore 9. Currently Barbar would be required to complete a Greater Rift Tier 55 in less than 5 minutes to place on the Hardcore Seasonal Ladder. Unfortunately, even with an Ancient Immortal King's Boulder Breaker, this does not seem possible for an Immortal King's / Wastes Grandeur.

[image loading]

It took a great deal of ingenuity to construct Unity + Pledge jewelry, reducing damage to 25%. Coupled with gear of the Wastes, Barbar takes 12.5% damage while Whirlwinding with a 50% chance of Dodge, thanks to Warcry.

Barbar has the standard Armor of a Barb, and wears 5 Flawless Royal Diamonds in vestments. With the Relentless Talent, Barbar takes only 7.5% damage below 35% Health while moving and Whirlwinding. Unfortunately, Barbar was nearly killed yesterday in a Tier 52 Greater Rift by the Rift Guardian: an Infernal Maiden.

Activating Nerves of Steal to prevent fatal damage, Damage Taken was reduced to 0.375% for 5 seconds as Barbar Whirlwind'd away from the Infernal Maiden.

I am including a Youtube video of Barbar defeating a Tier 50 Greater Rift to show what Immortal King's / Wastes (Grandeur) is capable of.

GR50


Using Fury of the Ancients, Barbar generates Fury to power Rend and Whirlwind. His damage multipliers are:

x5 Call of the Ancients + Wrath of the Berserker (Immortal King's)
x1.5 Wrath of the Berserker
x6 Rend (Wastes)
x3 Rend (Wastes)
x2 Rend (Lamentation)
x~1.5 Taeguk

Barbar is also capable of Increasing Damage output x2 by Whirlwinding into a Wall and invoking the 100% damage bonus of Traveler's Pledge. We see this happen against the Rift Guardian.

Boss Fight


Farewell, Barbar.

What's the issue? Is Barbarian simply not great or did you go the wrong build?
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

avg WW gear is bad currently (2.4.3). Only with a very top gear you can play gr 80+. I think IK6 BK2 is better for WW Build.
