UTMB... I love the set bonus on my profile is a link to my gear.... but, it WILL HOLD YOU Back from max dps

when you shout/war cry you gain 20 fury and sprint cost 20 fury....

but without 5 set bonus you immediately lose 1 fury after shout and cannot sprint since 1.05 was added.

slaughter wedge

massacre gash 637-1148 x 3 x 20 x 1.15 x 0.2 = 8790 - 15842 crits 12316 average

slaughter wedge 445-988 x 3.74 x 20.23 x 1.15 x 0.2 = 7743 - 17193 crits 12468 average and 145 vit >>>> (74 crit and 23 str difference I took it into account, taking random nrs for cd and str but doesnt matter nn be precise since everything except weapon is fixed)

WW is not primary attack, nado is, you can get up to 6 crit on rings now for all attacks vs 7 crit to WW ... you choose. Getting SOJ just for crit to ww is not ideal.

SOJ are used for % elite dmg and cold dmg mostly

that % to lightning is actually % AS lightning, and is added to .... get this .... the physical part of weapon damage only, not any lightning / corresponding dmg you might have. Fucked up, unintuitive as hell ... thats Blizzard. Ideally, you get a cold one for the snare. The actual 5-6% dmg is not that amazing, and the element itself is not important at all (tho preferably a cold one), the dmg to elites is.

The 20-30% dmg to elites does not show on ur char screen dps but is a str8 forward addition to your dps, yes. Elites are champs, rares, minions, purples / act bosses

Bash instigation is best for pure fury gen, it has 12 per hit and 100% 15 fury when it crits since 1.0 proc. Even tops and outdoes the frenzy speed bonus. So you can get 1/4 of your fury back in a single bash.

Yes, on IK belt and SOJ ideally you get %dmg to your main generator (cleave / frenzy / bash), though some people like -hota cost (soj) or - throw cost (belt) if they would ever go hybrid or swap build completely for ubers etc

eh.. its a close call but I would go with the other higher raw dmg one

you have to think.. that base gets multiplied by all your str and all your crit dmg.. u want that base as high as possible

yeah I just did the calculation tho, and its 5075 HP also, trumps it for sure imo

and since theyre same speed no issue on that either

ppl gotta learn how to calc actual nado dmg its so easy and accurate, thsi is nado per actual hit:

xx-xx dmg x 0.2 x 1.15 x 1+str% x 1+cd%

thats it, nothing else to it, might add x elites dmg % if you got soj, or demons dmg if tyrael etc

And whirlwind is 0.483 instead of 0.2

thanks a ton for all info
and the pm

sure np

This is probably obvious but when you use frenzy, does the 75% IAS get added to your tornado breakpoints? I have been using bash the whole time... but that seems pretty insane if it works like that.

no

I have a question regarding hota damg.

The increased damg comes from main hand weapon only or total dps?
