![]() If you have max CDR in Paragon and a diamond in helm, you only need 1 CDR roll on gear-usually on the Zodiac ring-two IAS rolls (swords), and one AS roll (also normally found on Zodiac ring). Against the RGs, well, you want to fish RGs who spawn adds, and that becomes more and more important as you go higher and higher.Ĥ5% CDR is overkill. If you have the correct rolls on gear, Pain Enhancer takes care of the rest- provided you fight in good density. Honestly, my advice regarding breakpoints is: don't worry about them. Call me the casual/lazy barb (or that I enjoy playing different classes, instead of investing lots of time to perfect one)Ĭheck my other reply to you in the other thread. But then I read that there are other builds that may be better! So now I'm looking for a not-super-hard-to-learn Barb build that can speedfarm T13 very well, but push a moderate GR (not leaderboard, but "viable" by your definition). If I'm not interested in pushing leaderboard GR, but mostly in speed farming, is the Speedfarming varient of Raekot HOTA still hard to gear & hard to learn?ĪKA I came here looking for an easy to play Barb T13 Speed build, and thought it was WW because I keep bumping into random WW Barbs in public games and they looked fun. But it's the fastest T13 speed farm build. ![]() You mention that the Raekot HOTA build is hard to gear, and hard to learn. since I'm reading about it from here, I thought I'll ask my question here anyway. I never knew about the guides on D3 Forums, but was just browsing them. Think of them as the Wikipedia of Diablo, a good place to get some background knowledge and establish the basics before you move on to the vetted, scholarly work in the Battlenet forums. This isn't to say that Dfans and Icy Veins are useless. Those guides are vetted by long-standing community members and top-ranked players. If you want the best, most accurate guides, always check the official D3 Forums here: Want another migraine? Check out their Vile Charge guide: no mention of Wreath of Lightning. They also don't mention that Gogok can be used in place of Esoteric, much less what considerations you have to make in your gear and play style to choose one gem over another. WTF? That is a build-breaking error that will completely derail whoever plays it that way. They actually claim Rage Flip would be good for end-game pushes, but they somehow forgot that Spear is a spender and that would spend Raekor stacks and thus give you fewer stacks to unload on your Fire cycle. Want a migraine? Look at their R6-HOTA guide: There's already so much bad info out there about builds and such, so who needs more of it floating around? While none of those are game-breaking, it adds up to a lot of little inaccuracies. They even claim Hellfire amulets are inferior to Mara's or Xepherian amulets! They fail to mention the easiest Grandeur option: wear Mantle of Channeling! Finally, they claim that Trapped is better than Taeguk in end-game pushes, something the Barb community over in the official D3 forums corrected 4 Seasons ago. In fact, Animosity is a flat-out wasted passive in the build. They also advice Nerves of Steel and Animosity as good passives to get on a Hellfire, neither of which will do you much good. That is inferior to the optimized build presented in the guide I linked and wrote-you roll IAS, not CDR, on weapons to better take advantage of the interactions between the Zodiac ring, your attack speed, and Pain Enhancer's secondary affix. For example, in their current WW guide, they want 40% CDR in the build and they want you to roll CDR on one weapon. Icy Veins is a better source, but their Barb guides have always been a little off. Most of the guides on Diablofans are several degrees worse-trash that should be avoided. A good guide will cover that, and most streamers, YouTubers, and guide authors don't put that level of thought into their content. And that's the thing: some Barb builds require a very specific play style or gear setup-or both-to be successful. Scroll through their guides and you'll find endless copy-paste jobs made by folks without any real understanding of the build's nuances. Earlier today, I told someone not to trust Barb build guides found on Diablofans or Icy Veins, and when asked why, I posted a version of what follows.ĭfans has no moderation-anyone can make a "build guide," post it, and mislead countless others.
