75k without enchant holyshit.

Going for this setup when 2.4 hit:

Reaching max frame in 8 frenzy stack which should be nice in the long run, can hit 77k with enchant but honestly i am way too lazy to prebuff every game for 30sec runs.

I hope it is tanky enough, daanno2 just give me some doubt now. xD

Yeah it'll be tanky enough. I'd try to get a viso/half freeze duration personally if you wanna give up on the Cham. The Viso DPS is just stupid, and it'll be better EFFECTIVE DPS as well, since the higher % hits will be nutty.
I'm also considering using a Beast offhand for myself instead of a second Lem sword :https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner-ptr/fq0106r3#13

Hits the max frames at 7 stacks of Frenzy and jams 83% hit rate @ almost 84k DPS.

Was thinkin about visio aswell and then i saw it added 'only' 5% chance to hit for frenzy, not sure this is worth it yet but definitly need some real world testing.

And yea indeed beast OP, i would gladly use it if we had player X option but for P1 this is probably a bit overkill.

The difference is a matter of %. You only lose about 20% of your goldfind (well, it's a lot). Depends what you gain in return.

If using Beast means I cut down my run by 10 seconds then it's fine, but we'll need to see.
I'm super curious to see it in action.

Edit: Fury + Viso adds a solid 10% extra. Worth it probably

Very excited to test this merc aswell.

Seems the 20% ar of fury apply only to itself and reach 83% hit rate but your offhand headstriker reach 79% so basically visio bring you to 78% and those 5 frenzy level give you that last % i guess, Maxroll could be wrong doh.

Just made this for shits and giggles: 45 Find Item Barb with A5 Merc (291MF/1472GF Beast Barb vs. the 45 Find Item build that uses a Lem offhand)
Merc built to hit max frames through Chill or Holy Freeze (basically CBF that actually works vs. Holy Freeze)
Merc starts with max attack speed (5.56 hits/second), builds up movement speed much faster.

Neat, i wish we had P3 to play a build like this, would be so efficient.

Funny enough p3 produces too much loot and it makes parsing the drops almost impossible (without a loot filter).
Weird problem to have. Just Barb things.

This is similar to what I am aiming for right now. Can't wait to try it

sorry ppls i dont get it why use vision mod over lamprey ?

i mean sure more attack rating but with battle cry + (demon limb) the defense should be already low enough to hit them councils pretty good or iam a wrong ?
