tested nats ring (4cc/9asi one, with st) and nats boots (ordinary one, 9 st) versus unity (240st one) and ice climbers (240st one)

unity combo gave me 10k more dps on screen, didnt tested edps

How do you stay alive before Wotb pops up? I have well over your minimal stat requirements and without a fury generator any phase beast elite pack that is at the end of that arreat crater eats me.

try to avoid hitting phase and dodging the spear attacks, as well as NOT getting hit by succubus's. keep fury regen to the fast tongue guys and spiders, usually there are some at startup.

It takes practice learning to actually anticipate a range attack and dodging it while getting wotb up, but it becomes muscle memory after a 50 or so runs.

Ok just a fyi, after about 270k unbuffed (no speed other than innas) you start to get a little bit fury starved, but its still possible to do the run just a bit harder


If you can blow through the run and keep wotb up at that dps almost everything dies in 1 rend including phase's and fat guys.


Just have to have 100% concentration while running through.

I'm getting better at it, but keeping WoTB up is becoming an issue when it comes to those long stretches. Any tips?

i just call it as a 'bad spawn run"

sometimes you get a huge amount of scorpions and well spaced between one and another

sometimes you get a large gap between pack of mobs, dropping you wotb. it happens

Nice Video! I'm still using DW for this. Changed MH gem to ruby. Slightly less tDPS but bigger rend.

Yea a ruby is ok, but with this build you get such high crit chance (im at 91) that you end up scaling crit dmg much better. So basically everything you will kill needs to be crit'd, so you may as well add crit dmg to guarantee it dies.

If you are a 1h setup though, yes your mainhand should be ruby.

I would really like to figure out this build. Here is my gear:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Mindfunk-1208/hero/19931529

I'm not sure what my problem is but I can't seem to stay alive even on MP8. I always encounter some problem during Arreat Crater level 2, wether its a plague or molden elite pack that kills me, or lose all fury and get surrounded. The experience rewards are very nice when I'm able to stay alive but so far I have about 30 unsuccessful runs. Any tips?

With those stats you should be able to do mp10 no problem, so here is my suggestion.

1. if your killing elites, dont as this build is not meant for it (though you can as long as you dont go for the wrong packs and are carful)
2. practice starting up your wotb in the beggning until its muscle memory (if your dying from that that is)
3. During the run, try to always keep a rend up on something (ie, if you are far away from your last rended pack, try to rend another smaller one if needed because once your rend runs out your life steal does, thus you die)
4. This is the biggest one of all, Succubus. Notice when the girls with wings shoot out the red ball and it hits you, you get the spell that reduces your armor by 100% (bottom right will show a green skull).
When you get his by this, its 2-3 hits and your toast, so keep a eye on them, and if you get hit by one, stay clear of things until it wears off.
