Everyone posts their gg crafts. Same deal when hellfire rings came out. Some get lucky, some not so. I still use my first hellfire ring since it has 3.5% cc. I created ~10 more after that and the best was one with 267str, 63ar, and a socket. Now they're all brimstones or on followers.
I expect my luck will run about the same when I start making amulets.
It is fun to brag about luck.

How many did you make before that baby came out?
I farmed mats for 20 today and could barely equal my IK gloves.
Just five tries for those gloves. I have mats for ~300 so I will probably keep making them as I collect essences, and hope for something with higher CC, and IAS. I think people are vastly underestimating the potential of the new crafts given 6 prop and guaranteed 200+ mainstat.

Thanks to a friendly TL member, I'm back in the game playing a Barb.
My question is: what's the most feasible way to get the HotA fury cost down?
Feasible (feasable?) as in:
a) not too expensive
b) not impossible to find in the AH
Thanks guys! SoJ is the only practical way of doing it. Go to AH, search all armor types. Filter to max fury. Filter to bonus vs elites. Now you see only barbarian SoJ's. Just a case of looking through them for a HotA fury reduction one. Not impossible at all. Have you guys ever experimented with swapping out a skill/bloodlust for superstition? Infinite hota, no soj necessary. Then you have to give up a useful passive slot. Unless you have LS on both weapons or at least 1 + belt, then you can't really afford to do it. I currently don't have it on any weapon =D
My mistake, I have LS on both weapons :D

the archon armor of strength recipe allows for a rather easy craft of chest armors that beat out most ordinary ik chests. do you guys think that it would be wise to sell ik chests right now while they are still worth a lot?

Shoulders should be easy to beat vile wards too.

even ordinary rare shoulders could easily be as good as vile wards for barbs...
but yes, it would probably also be wise to sell vile wards while one still can.

s'ok, nabbed this special little mempo for 250m:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QdUFGKN.jpg)
Leaning toward trying to sell for ~375m, but also it's quite nice to leave on my barb as is. Thing is, I'm sure the extra golds could be put to work elsewhere... with a big EF offhand and a bit more IAS I could probably get HotA going pretty well. On the other hand, the CC on my amu/glove is fairly low (7 ea) so the mempo CC is helping there.
arggghh! wat to do

I would keep it unless youre very poor after buying it as much of your items can be upgraded pretty cheaply for a substantial gain and youre going to need to get one of those eventually anyway
|
Does anybody have an up-to-date guide to the HotA build?
I'm not sure if it runs on dual wield, if it alternates between the two weapons and so on.
Also, do I really need -5 Fury cost, or will -4 do just as well?

I don't think it makes sense to have an helm that's worth more than the rest of your gear. Especially with 3.5cc only.

Maybe this: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/84093-106-barbarian-popular-builds-hints-and-bis-gear-setups/
There are a lot of variations though. As for your questions:
- if you want perma-WOTB, dual wield is the way. You may keep wotb up in combat with a Skorn at higher MPs only (you'll lose it eventually between packs).
- yes, it alternates between the weapons
- no, reduced hota cost may be useful (depending on your gear/build) but it's not a necessity.

Done.

Some infos:
- almost 500 hours of playtime since the introduction of Paragon levels, ~80% of that was in Act III, ~15% in act II.
- played mostly at mp5, never used hellfire/leoric since I never cared about xp. I put a ruby on the helm after lv95 because I was dying of boredom and at that point I wanted to reach lv100 asap.
- I got 661 legendaries: 63 in patch 1.04 and 598 since patch 1.05. That's one legendary every 2 hours in 1.04, one every 36 minutes since 1.05, and one every ~25 minutes for the last 100 hours of playtime, including the usual inefficiency like identifying all the crap, uber runs, chatting time, AFK, party play etc.
- 1.04 legendaries were sold for 600mil pre-tax, 1.05 ones for almost a billion. Best drops: Witching Hour 150int/150vit (340mil), IK chest with over 200vit (200 mil), ice climbers 270dex/70vit (175mil).
- most dropped legendary (by a large margin): Ivory Tower, 23.
- never dropped legendaries: Mempo (!!!), IK helm, Blackthorne's boots, Ouroboros, Zunimassa's Pox, Fist of Azturrasq, Maximus, IK weapon.
Build that I used for ~80% of this journey:
- Bash / Punish, fury generator and dps boost (right now 490k :O)
- HotA / thunderstrike: best rune IMO, it changed drastically my build due to the stun that increased my survivability by A LOT.
- Sprint / Marathon: perpetual sprint with Unforgiving and IK bonus set. It helps in keeping WotB up, so I don't think Mempo/Ice Climbers are really that better.
- War Cry / Charge: fury boost for WotB and a bit of DR.
- Battle rage / into the Fray: ...
- WotB / Thrive on Chaos: ...

Me again  I found myself a nice Skorn which sold für 155 million pre-tax.
So I wanna upgrade my equip and am looking at a ~75-100 million budget to do so. I'd like to keep my 5 piece IK. I think upgrades could be shoulders, ring (really hard to find anything though...) and weapons, but I'm open to suggestions (Probably bracers as well).
Here's my profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/TratoS-1351/hero/96926
I'm farming MP7 solo quite comfortably with HotA build. For Paragon I use WW on MP1 or 2. Survivability is allright i guess, so I'm looking to increase the dps, but without sacrificing too much survivability.

I have no idea how you can farm MP7 efficient with 84k DPS?! All your IK-Items are pretty "meh". I would start crafting Gloves/Amu and Shoulders.For WW you want more IAS. I would say your Belt and Boots are kinda OK, the Rest is really "meh"
I think you know yourself waht items are good:
Mainhand you want 1100dps, and Socket(and/or CHD), Echoing ofc preferred.
A better offhand, if you wanna farm with WW. Dagger or Sword with 80+ CHD, Socket, LS and maybe Str if its affordable.
Lacunis with Crit ofc, I got mine with 56PhysicalResist and 4% CHC for ~2M.
Rings of course with most possible damage. Searching for Average Damage instead of STR should be cheaper.
So try crafting Gloves/Amu and Shoulders and look for some good Deals on Weapons/Rings.

Sorry, I meant Keyruns on MP7 ofc. It's okay but not really fast. For "farming" I'm just using WW on low MP.

I have a question in regards to the new shoulder crafting recipes. In theory, would it actually be better to roll VIT shoulders for a barb as opposed to STR? The reasoning is that a random STR roll can possibly be much higher than a random VIT roll, thus getting a higher "total" stat, all other things being equal.
The problem is I'm not sure if that's how it actually works.
Basically, in theory:
Choose VIT = Potential to get 200+STR and 300+VIT? (Picked VIT + STR roll + STR/VIT roll)
Choose STR = Potential to get 300+STR but only 100+VIT? (Picked STR + VIT roll + STR/VIT roll
Since STR can roll higher on shoulders than VIT can. Is this accurate?
As an aside, the same theory would exist for choosing to roll VIT gloves instead of INT/DEX.
|
Vit can roll 300str/330vit I think. This is ofc only on Shoulders. So Barbs should craft Vit for the best possible shoulders. Already got some with 290str and 220vit,%Life and Armor. too bad no AR. The bad thing about it is that you don't have fixed 200str and it'll probably take more tries to get good ones.
