Most stable GPH profile for a WW barb?

[Rakurai]

I want to experiment with how FPS and TPS affect the bot efficiency. Any thoughts on the most stable GPH profile for a WW barb? Not necessarily the best, but something that will be more consistent than the A3 runs I'm doing now.

Actually, maybe I could just do timed runs on Normal where the mobs don't slow me down.

If you're going to the lower difficulties, I doubt a WW barb is what you'll want to spec to test efficiency. How are you going to generate fury if everything dies in 1 shot (white damage)?

he can change the passives (unforgiving) & 5 piece ik.

No crits no fury.

Yeah, I changed to a bash/pulverize with plenty of fury generation, sprint/marathon, furious charge, and AoEs. Seems to blast through Skycrown on nightmare with full fury the whole way, so I think that eliminates mob killing and fury for sprint from the equation.

Then try any of the gold farm profiles, maybe just edit out core of arreat. Apparently people are getting stuck there.

I decided to go with Inrego's short Leoric's manor run (just the stairs) because it's fast and pretty consistent, and only needs one set of directions from the server.

Please post the results when you're done. I'm currently running my bots with only 5TPS and 15FPS, otherwise my computer can't handle it. And i'd like to know how much that will hurt efficiency.

Sure, probably tomorrow sometime. I have found that I get a lot of failed town portalling below about 12 FPS. I'll be testing to see if that is fixable by adjusting the FPS:TPS ratio, or if it is just a hard limit that will mess up DB's timing.
