nick why the attack speed ? crit should be better? i know that animation is faster but does not help spawn more dust devils. we are tapping ww not holding anyway
Barb has always been my favorite class. I just bought D4 a week ago. It infuriates me to no end how badly he's been treated this season. I'm struggling hard just to get ahead. I've completed the season at least and may just be done until the expansion releases.
they nerfed every single barb build into oblivion, and im not even a barb main i just like playing multiple classes with S tier builds. Blizz should stop listening to these complainers, they're the same people that got sorcs nerfed in BETA.
I’m a Barb main and I think this was needed. It made a lot of people branch out. Barb has been #1 almost every season. They tried nerfing it last season but it wasn’t enough.
I’ve only been playing since S3 and have been guilty of that “Go to Barb for easy win” mindset, so I was shocked how rough the class feels this season. Thanks for the guide Nick 👍🏻
My bleed ww build from last season can do 90-150m bleeds. Around 250-300m dps. Barbs are trash tier this season. You are required to get 2 more mythics and more gear to be far below average.
The highest hitting ww barb on bilibili clearing a 135 pit hits 1.5b dps. So min maxed it’s not terrible but still lower dps than all the other classes.
We all felt that way for 4 seasons bro compared to barbs. I dont like they giga nerf something tho... Making another class the ultra broken class in the game is lazy. They should actually balance the classes so the meta would not be so ahead of the non meta builds.
What makes me laugh is we dont want a class to be over used so we are nerfing barb. Now we see a sorc everywhere, doesnt even need a mythic to do t7 horde. This is the problem with these devs is they nerf a class every season and buff another its so sad.
Great video. I’m doing fairly well using your build at level 100. Though, my internal hordes 7 clear is SUPER slow vs burning butcher when he’s chosen and the bosses. Enjoying bettering my barb steadily.
Andariel poison rogue is hitting between 400-600 mill easy, poison proc hits well over a billon. Cleared pit 139 today. Yes i survived but man those mobs have a lot of life.
I dont understand, How do you even generate fury for using the whirlwind? I dont have all the gear, but I do have all the aspects for your no Unique Ancestral, but I open with the shouts and the fury goes down quite quickly and I end up with the shouts on cooldown and no fury. How you manage to enter the fight with fury
when you are using Enchanced Whirlwind you automatically generate fury as long as you are hitting an enemy, this works as long as you're constantly hitting ememies. Otherwise you can do one of several or a mixture of these: have fury per second affix on your body gears such as chest armor, helmut, pants or boots. Have the aspect of Berserk Fury (generates 6 fury per sec while berserking) on your jewelry. Have at least several tempers that have good rolls on resource generation.
thanks for the very detailed video, I am just killing time in eternal after a long break getting rid of old kit and tying a few different classes out; I am an old timer and your detailed explanation of how the build works is easy to understand and very much appreciated
Newb question here, but when you whirlwind, what is the stuff shooting out? The white lines? Looks like a permanent Lethal Shrine attack. Is that some combination of this setup once you reach a certain level?
You will need Tyrael's Might which gives you arrays of barrage while you are at full health. At higher content they don't do that much damage, but does help a bit on clearing mobs and of course looks cool. If Blizzard didn't nerf barb this season this would still be one of the top builds.
Nick, the other major youtubers (Perra, Rob) ignore attack speed for WW barbs. Are you sure attack speed matters for WW if you are spamming the attack key?
Thanks for the video Nick! As always, awesome content. Question. Have you noticed if Starless is not generating as much Fury as before? I am really having issues keeping up with Fury. Going to switch to Wrath but would prefer not to
higher AS would increase the amount of hits while WW, thus increasing dust devil procs. Higher AS affects the animation too, so it would technically even make the tapling method better as well
Just wanna say TY so much for making a guide for the worst class this season. It’s my first season ever trying Barb, and everyone else jumped ship one week into the season.
Can the mythic Barbarian do good? I'm thinking about tking my mythic items off my Sorcerer and trying my barbarian but if he can't survive i don't feel like wasting the time building his set to just try it and then find it isn't good. Thanks to anyone who could answer this for me. I leveled my Barbarian to 100 this season and then seen how weak he was and rolled a Sorcerer and got all the mythic items. The Sorcerer winter orb lightning bolt is destroying my PS5 controller from the spamming of buttons, the R2 and L1 are already feeling well broken in and the controller is only two months old but has had three weeks of everyday button spamming every second.
I don't get how they think it's okay to nerf any class this badly. The goal should be to get them more or less on the same playing field, not gut a class into oblivion. I've been trying everything to get any barb build viable for hordes. Whirlwind was the most tanky but it took forever to clear tier 7
Honest question here, I’ve got all the pieces of the non-mythic build going, all 4/12 masterworked but am capped at T4, can’t for the life of me survive a T5 to start farming ingolith. Any tips on surviving and doing more dmg? I have 44% crit chance and 1600% crit dmg, and running iron skin/iron warrior aspect. What am I missing? Thank you!
Group with ppl from dc, or farm some pits to get strong enough. You do nothing wrong the barb is just super weak, I got 6 mythics sit on 5100 crit dmg 71% crit chance and still fall short on dmg
make sure you are armor and resistance cap without grandfather the dmg will be poop aim atleast 40k+ health find a group for killing duriel/andariel and lilith for the 3 sparks and with some luck you might get a random mythic to salvage and you can buy the papi for 4 sparks also yens blessing boots are great to have for res and shout upkeep
This is the issue with diablo. 0 end game, it's laughable. Infernal hordes is a ton of fun as a mass-farming piece of content. But farming for what... More infernal hordes. If the dev's just watched 2 hours of some of their competitor MMO's like lost ark, bdo, WOW-Albeit each have their own shortcomings, the avg. play time for them is far greater than d4 retention. Why? Because they have END GAME CONTENT. D4 is 0 end game and only farm to farm to farm faster and farm. Lmao. Lots of gamers these days are looking for challenging, not impossible, group-not gatekept content that is fun to play. I'm all for infernal hordes as a means to farm your char in d4 up to endgame, it's got great loot. Good progression. Etc. But there is no endgame. When will they learn? Probably too late now and they can reap the financial reprecussions of piss poor decision making by the devs to release a 10+ year game that isn't even 10% of the other MMO's content available to play
Running the same tree with Wrath, Resource pots, MW Fury per second onthe 12/12 boots, and a ring of starless and that Ramaladni is still destroying my fury and can't sustain :(
What wrong with barbarian? I’m running flay , rend and rupture. Everything dies in two hits. Bosses explode in 3 seconds. So what’s wrong with barbarian?
Why are we choosing Weapon Expertise 2H Axe if we don't have a 2H Axe equipped (as per build guide)? In game flavour text suggests you take the benefit from the expertise when using said weapon type. Help my tired brain!
Yeah, I've built bash barb and WW, and WW is definitely the easiest to build and goes way harder during the build. For bossing Bash barb the same as this, So over all its just worse.
Obviously, in the video you see the character hitting around 1M-2M. That’s nowhere near what you claim to have so you’re lying. *Flagged for Misinformation* Enjoy your account ban.
I love how people pretend that Barbarian was the only over powered class in this game. Every class, save Druid, have been over powered since pretty much season two depending on the build.
compared to other class, barb is kinda under performing. Lightning spear sorc, andariel barrage rogue, ak47 druid, stormslide druid and bone spirit necro can easily clear T140+. WW barb probably B tier around Pit T135.
i dont like this speed x5 atm sad barb is weak i love play barb but wait for new seazon not fun to play barb atm ofc i make all missions seazon ect but stop when just clear one time Horde8

Thanks for the guide Nick 👍🏻
nerf bat was used heavily
I watch Rob the German guy, Perra gaming and NickTew... but I think Nick has the best calm voice and gives you the best explanation for "WHY"
Rob is showing exploits with the rama sword how to double dip. very bad in my opinion for a streamer to make a build with that
My bleed ww build from last season can do 90-150m bleeds. Around 250-300m dps. Barbs are trash tier this season. You are required to get 2 more mythics and more gear to be far below average.
Save Barb. Bring other classes up, slightly nerf barb. Not Gut barb and restart the "op cycle" on Sorc.
The highest hitting ww barb on bilibili clearing a 135 pit hits 1.5b dps. So min maxed it’s not terrible but still lower dps than all the other classes.

@@leonesavabel3651 the arsenal system is the worst design I've seen. Making one class farm much more than all the others is moronic.

@NickTew i've got Grandfather,Starless and 4 sparks,should i craft Harlequin first or Tyrael?
Prob already did it but I would say keep farming until you get one of them... then craft the other.
@@impexxable i did craft Shako for the cdr,still no luck with tyrael drop
I would craft tyraels , shako tends to drop more
@@impexxable where do you drop them ?
Why not just use grandfather while doing ww and still get the slashing bleeding bonus? And also get the benefit of heavy handed
But why attack speed on the gloves? Dust Devils doesn´t scale on AS, wouldnt be crit damage better?
ww do scale off as
CC would be better, dust devils get no benefit from as and also will be tapping ww button. cc would be better here.
@@MrBarneyQc but ww is not the damage source
@@MrBarneyQc You don't actually need to build AS if you can fake a better attack speed by tapping it
