Couple of issues with my WW barb

Hey hey...

2 things.
One seems like an easy fix, an overlook or a bug... The other... Not sure.

1) The bot will randomly pop Wrath of the Berserker when there are no Elites around, or maybe they are around, but not within range for the barb to actually aggro them. This has happened to the point where I've set it to only pop it on Hard Elites, just to avoid this problem.

2) When the bot is in the middle of 2 ranged mobs, it will pop sprint, and WW up to hit one target, then back down, and kind of ping pong between them, and only hitting them with 1-2 WW hits before moving down towards the other. So it's not actually going through them to hit them, thus not putting the Sprint Tornadoes anywhere near them, it's caused me some issues when those mobs are elites.

Anyone know of any fixes of either of these problems?

Thanks! :)
 
Hi,

1) Yea, sure, he does that when there are any mobs around. You have to use Thrives on Chaos rune and proper Trinity settings (+ profile) to be able to stay in WOTB for the run. My barb usually needs more than one WOTB per run, and despite what others might say, he will sometimes drop it due to unoptimal pathing. If you use other runes or the build is not right (low crit chance etc.), you have to do what you've done. Enable it for elites only.

2) This often is not an issue if you set Min Trash Mob Pack Size to 5+. Then he will have enough mobs for the tornadoes.

Trinity is somewhat optimized for very few builds, so you have to use the recommended settings/builds for various locations. Check out In a Rush profile. That's what most people use.
 
1) Ah, I wasn't aware that it was trying to keep it up for the whole fight. With Thrive on Chaos and 53% crit chance, it stands no chance at keeping it up, since I'm using a Skorn instead of dual 1h'ers.
2) I never knew about the option. Thanks! I've set it to 5 :)
 
I used to play with Skorn, and if you do the right location (like Dahlgur Oasis), you can maintain WOTB for 2-3 packs, but there will be long periods without WOTB. Barb can manage without WOTB if you have Rend+Blood Lust, but he will kill slower.
 
At 200k dps unbuffed, I do just fine with the cookie cutter build without WotB up 100%... And using my 1H'ers really hurts my dps so... Sticking with it for now. MP8 doesn't seem to be much of a problem for the bot, I just thought it was a bug that it was popping WotB on normal packs, that's all.
