Best build for barbs in 1.0.5?

[Czester]

I'm currently using the normal WW build, but i don't think it's still gonna work very well in 1.0.5...

Some info you should know: i went WW barb now because it is the most fun build, i don't bot for the RMAH. I bot to upgrade my gear because i want to actually play the game!

because i still haven't got a single decent drop (250k+) at paragon 37, i decided to buy gold with real money before the patch, so i can get it cheap. So my budget is 100m.

There are a couple builds i know of, but which one do you think is the best one?

The new WW builds: current WW but with frenzy and life steal (i think this one is the best because i always see the bot bashing mobs for ages) + it fun to play!
or the new WW build with revenge (1h + shield WW barb) i think this one might confuse the bot.
or the new WW build with rend

or should i go with a 2H wep/ 1h + shield
like the old frenzy sidearm + leap + revenge + wotb insanty ....
or the wotb + earthquake build
or the normal rend build


which one do you think is the best one? new builds also welcome!!

i use frenzy/maniac on 7 barb bots (1h/shield)
i die one-two times per hour
monsters will get easier on MP1 in act3 after patch, so it can only get better for me.

and what is your exact build? frenzy instead of bash in a WW build or do you use other stuff (like leap/rend/revenge/...)

I am using the following and it's working nicely.
Frenzy - Sidearm
Rend - Bloodlust
WotB - Insanity
Revenge - Provocation
Battle Rage - Swords to Ploughshares
War Cry - Impunity

ok, thanks! I'll wait till someone tells me more about the WW builds, because i want to be able to play the game myself aswell, and WW is way more fun to play...

I'm avoiding ww build as 1h weapons are insanely expensive compared to 2h weapons and honestly I think 2h rend is stronger (at same budget level), given infinite budget, ww will probably be supreme but for 1.05 who knows.

I get around 550 items/hour (items dropped, on trinity) with ww build, I'm pretty sure that switching to a rend build would drop that..

meh. depends on your budget dude. 2h rend is cheap as shit to get going.

I'm using super 2hand build:

Frenzy - Maniac
Rend - Bloodlust
WotB - Insanity
Revenge - Provocation
Battle Rage - Marauders Rage
War Cry - Impunity

Have tired ww but it's just not as reliable as frenzy + revenge + rend (0 death)

i finaly got a good drop tonight! i even got 2! and it's better as i could ever have dreamed! i got a pair of gloves that alredy sold for 12m and i got IK irons with 188 str and 67 all res. they're on the AH atm, but i've been thinking about just buying IK boots so i have the 2 set bonus.

can anyone give me some tips about WW builds in 1.0.5?

There are plenty on the forums if you do a search, takes a few seconds to find EXACTLY what your looking for, hint* check Profiles > Act 3 subforums *** barb *** thread.

By the time i wrote this i couldve linked it to you but i rather people get into the habit of using the search function, it is there for a reason after all.

Hi sorry I can't be of much help but I pre patch I had a barbarian that was efficiently farming act one with the sever. After the patch I went back to my demon hunter who can farm power level 5. You said you had a bot so you probably have a lot of gold to spare? My email is [email protected] if you see this could you send me an email sorry for the inconvenience

2H skorn barb with revenge/provocation and cleave/broad sweep
Then just war cry, battle rage, marathon sprint, and leap iron impact for the other skills

I tried using rend for awhile but then the bot just wastes potential sprint fury on it. Cleave/revenge chops down everything quickly enough that's its not needed.

Running Act3 MP2 at about 15mil exp/hour. Occasionally 1-2deaths per hour.. usually 0.

ww barb is fastest past certain amount of dps.. but at under 50k dps.. probably rend is fastest.
