Will a future patch make the skull grasp ring more useful?

Nobody uses it and that's a shame. It was intended to be a whirlwind friendly item.



I hope so but with BK swords you want to use obsidian + CoE, unless they made skull grasp better then CoE would it see use for end game

2 questions:

I have 4/6 of the wrath set, and 1/2 of the weapon set, with a ring of royal grandeur

1) How important is the weapon set to the build? If I only have the 6 pc (5 pc) set, will the build still largely work?

2) The ring that makes this all work is on the season game only so .. how do I make that work in regular? 0_o

No, I don't understand seasons



There are variations without obsidian ring, you can go focus + restraint variants or just use unity+CoE, going no CDR or full CDR still to reach 50%+ wotb uptime and 100% ignore pain iron hide uptime with 6 second cassius

without bk set your fury generation will be terrible and will have to make up for it in ways that will hurt your dps (passives,reapers wraps)

and without wastes 6 you will do pitiful damage, all our damage comes from the 2500% dust devils

Short question,

is it possible to say at this point if this build is vaiable/best build for barbs in season 4? Or aren`t there any informations out there yet?


If nothing changes then yes, it is currently the top barb build, provided you have the right gear (without full ancient vita rolls you will have quite low HP and can get gibbed easy if IP/COTA fall off)

Yea my fury is constantly out, but I can still clear things I couldn't dream of before

I have Taeguk at 25 and Bane of the Trapped at 6, so I need to get that to 25, and just dump Blood Shards into 1h weapons until I get the 2nd weapon and I'm good to go?

I'd like to see the increase in whirlwind damage rise from 300 to 400 % weapon damage to 900 to 1000 % weapon damage or at least double it at the very least. Give it some nice "wow factor" that will be too tempting not to use. Especially if it's only additive damage to the WW itself and has no relation with your dust devils from this particular Bul Kathos/Wastes build. Anything that packs a powerful punch, even if it's only a partial source of your damage, is still highly effective. I tend to pile on any damage bonuses I can get on my Barb.

I appreciate this guide! It opened my eyes on a couple things that I wasn't too sure off with Barb mechanics. Very well done guide!

This particular build made me love my Barbarian even more. I rarely play my other characters.
Still a few upgrades I need but overall I'm able to kill fast, never die, and can solo high-level GRs.

Woot, finally got the 2nd BK sword!

So, I now have 6 PC and 2 PC, and Taeguk, Bane of the Trapped, and Bane of the Powerful at 25

What's next?

Grind out public T6 rifts just trying to find ancient upgrades? Grind Grifts to upgrade my gems? Public Grifts?

Thanks
