When blizzard recently announce they were gonna "hotfix" the MPL monster damage, i thought it would be fun to play around with some dps builds.

I found the "thought to be best dps builds" for barbs, and had a look how much i could squeeze out of them.

Here is my results



Azmodan kill time = 52 seconds (monster power level 10)
Measured from the first hit (31sec) and until he was dead (1min and 23 sec)

Azmodan had 138425408 health points:

138425408/52= ~ 2662027/1000= ~2662k dps

I also did a compare with a close to perfect Skorn and a witching hour belt on the standard HotA build*, and came very close to beating the throw build. (i think this build would outdps the throw build if i had more IAS)

I wish blizzard would give us more MPL levels to play with, instead they are nerfing the endgame unneeded.

*= thx to Freudian for showing me the HotA build.

poor azmodan.

Hard to say because i dont play ww+tornado (i get dizzy)

sick, 10/10

9.9 out of 10 cuz a perfect 10 would mean u couldnt improve
