telek charges on ring

If prebuff is allowed, you can also use BoS from hustle, stack some frenzy, use wolfhowl to also stack some feral rage, trigger blaze on fire facet lvl up (requires good timing, few mobs away to lvl up after your done stacking)

All those are eFRW so they don't get diminishing returns like FRW from gear.

This could possibly result in world record portal barb.
I'd also have 6x max leap barb around me spamming that huge aoe knockback just to make sure that the 1 spectator present to confirm the record is not able to disrupt this fine performance.

Just go to youtube and search portal barb, there is like 100+ videos explaining it.

Would this be better than accruing strike worlock?

Well it depends...
echo is quite good on low budget
it scales well also when you invest more into the build
but if we're talking about ultra high end BiS setups... no.
Portal Barb > 100% perf warlock (any build)

The current podium would be:
Portal Barb > Walking Tal Armor Warlock > Mosaic/Blood Boil > Echo/Nova > Java/Light sorc/Fire lock > Hdin etc...

Some would debate the order I listed above, but no one in their right mind could debate about the first 2 listed there.

needs runeword chronicle finished for sexy portals

this is pretty much what im thinking for the new season too. the warlock is crazy but the buffs to portal barb are honestly insane. its crazy how its being slept on. especially because its relatively cheap to build since so few barb items and portal barb items are in demand right now. building this can help someone get out of poverty. basically makes obsolete the hdin.

For pvp too
I’ve been ganked by 7 portal barbs yesterday
God… still got some ptsd…
I couldn’t even take my tp back to get my corpse cuz they were spamming tps over mine

requesting maxroll build

do you stack -res to break portal immunes or do you just skip those packs
