I went off the deep end reading/learning about this bath build and I have a few questions.

I have a fully geared WW and fully geared frenzy barbs.
Both clear p8 t5s 96tz 'ok' not fast but can get it done NP outside of thorns...

Questions
1. Can this brawler / throw barb clear p8 96tzs faster than either of those specs in GG gear?
2. Is the build at all viable with out a 2/20/2 os helm (apparently you have to haven 2x 15ias jewels to hit breakpoint). It feels like a pretty expensive commitment to 'try' the build and I effectively have everything else.


I've read a ton of comments that it works well but now with heralds and rotw I'm curious if anyone's tried.


Thanks

Hero editor and you could find out in 1hr>

It's saved me a lot of heartache when trying new builds

whats that?

I don't think you need the 2os helm tbh.

I'm about to test out a grief/mania phaseblade on swap to proc burst of speed.


I think that plus Coooley's throwbarb video gear (minus the helm) will hit the BP.
I'm using a cham shako.

I use berserk and frenzy on swap sometimes for killing champions. The main hand on this swap is grief phase blade along with secondary mania phase blade to proc BOS.
I think as long as you have frenzy proc'd, it may also hit the BP for double throw if you don't want to use mania.


I think your frenzy barb may kill faster than the double throw. But instead of swapping over frenzy completely, it's easy to run throw and frenzy together in a single build. I like the versatility of being able to kill at a distance. And if you go frenzy, it might be possible to use fortitude instead of enigma for certain farming spots. More throw damage

So i tried it last night, p8 t5s and it worked ok. It does kill groups of mobs probably quicker than WW or frenzy if I had a bit of better gear... which is incredible.. i thoguht it wasnt going to be great.
