no, i casted both wary cry/battle cry. the tricolor thing is the taunt he's casting.

The one thing that SORTA works is grim ward, depending on if council spawns in the room or is hemmed in on 3 sides. they flee to the corners and just sorta get stuck there. It constantly re-applies the fear effect/dps boost, and Frenzy barb move super fast like a hunter seeker missle. Unfortunately this doesn't solve the phys immune problem as it doesn't affect superuniques, and of courses uses up a corpse.

Still gotta get my hands on a headstriker on ptr to see if it out dps grief, but my feeling is that this isn't going to be faster/more efficient than A2 merc + gavel. But it could be a less micro-intensive, lazier version of A2 that still gets the job done


Yeah. I mean if you're the one who applied BCry, I think there's a chance Gavel is still very useful. He doesn't cast Taunt THAT much. Usually he should be deleting Council before the Taunt overrides Gavel, if the gearing is optimal (hopefully).
We'll see :D

It's definitely not shown in the tooltip, however...

Just did a test around Eldritch. lvl 42 Find item (57% chance) and lvl 42 Find Potion. Find item actually popped 22 out of 27 boddies (81.4%) and that's not even accounting for the fact that even when find item check is successful, sometimes it will not produce anything.

Something is definitely wonky here.

I do not know if I would prefer this as a bug or a new feature... sure it would be sick, but I think this will make every Barb PvM item much more expensive xD

Yeah, that's what I was told. Hidden synergy, sorta?
Weird stuff.

I tested multiple setups. The best one damage wise was a combination of eth CoH, grief pb mainhand for acceleration and eth upped headstriker socketed with an amn, helmet was guilli with 15ias/40ed jewel. Main problem with this setup is there is no answer to physical immunes among council. You have to use gavel is a very specific case which messes up the timing. Same setup with lawbringer instead of headstriker was doing less damage but could take care of the immune problem. The chance for decrepify is just 10% though. No matter what combination I tried, act2 merc is superior so I didn't bother capturing and uploading the result.

Did you try a Zerk swap setup? Zerk synergizes with BO now, so Barb could help kill phys immune more reliably idk
