[@megagig5501]

Forgot to ask till the end but do you guys like the new intro? I'm not entirely sold on it.

[@leonascrivat1330]

[@megagig5501]

Ya I don't know if I'll mess with the end game on that or not but we'll see when I get there.

[@bekz143]

This video is probably one of the best diablo videos that exist, appreciate this video a lot, thanks man

[@megagig5501]

Thank you very much!

[@Neurolytic76]

Great video. Extremely helpful. Not easy to find good Barb vidoes like this on KZbin.

[@tyroneoliver1160]

Hey thanks heaps for the vid, is by far the best one I’ve seen yet and I was stuck until I came across this. Appreciate it eh. Cheers from down under 👍

[@alvinchen6233]

Thank you so much! Your explanation solved my problem! Dude, I really appreciate that you go through all the details comparing why you choose these combinations unlike other posters simply throwing the build to your face without telling you why your old build doesn't work. Keep up the great job. Cheers.

[@megagig5501]

Thanks!

[@BENNEBOOM]

Best Diablo guide ive ever seen! Great work!

[@dilloncall3594]

I liked it very informative and I'm glad you added what everyone else is doing compared to how you run your build .. very helpfull

[@Game2Test]

Good analysis man. good video. keep it up.

[@imperadorrush2283]

nice video, gave me some ideas. well done.

[@TimmyMicBobbins]

Great Video Man! You got a sub from me for explaining everything so well Thanks!

[@megagig5501]

Thanks!

[@francoispelissier1547]

well it barb time for this season :) great vid

[@sllayer2399]

Thanks dude, this help me a lot! +1

[@TimmyMicBobbins]

And as for the Intro It Looks Pretty cool!

[@Beast-1431]

I think I'll be making my first barb since season 3 Orr 4. Thanks for the vid I'll be harassing you off and on over the next weeks:) liked and subbed

[@megagig5501]

Lol thanks for watching!

[@martindragsbk1811]

nice video. but i'm kinda wondering why you are using the weapon master passive, because the hellfire amulet provides it and it doesn't seem to stack?

[@megagig5501]

My hellfire amulet doesn't have wep master, it's bulkathos passive. Each hellfire amulet you craft gets a random passive.

[@ProducerJames91]

I do furious charge builds. I'm wondering for your build, how many variants are there for whirlwind? And what could that mean for raekors?

[@megagig5501]

I know there are quite a few variants for WW and charge. That being said, I couldn't speak to how many.

[@MrVaes]

Can you upload a video for WW Barb Hardcore? That video helped me alot, but im not sure what to do in hardcore, i dont know what kind of build i should use, im guessing its very close to this build, but need more tanky stats and stuff like that i suppose ^^

[@megagig5501]

I don't play hc so I don't have a hc ww build :/ I'd say just swap one of the passives for nerves of steel. I don't die often on ww barb and only rarely need a life save.

[@Knud451]

Great video! How have you prioritised paragon points?

[@megagig5501]

I've got them maxed but if you want the order in which to max them you can check out my build guide video. Main thing is crit > cd > cdr > atk speed.

[@Z28Dustin]

I'm gonna try some of this out. I was told I needed lots of Area Damage for this build, so I'm gonna try this and see how it goes.

[@megagig5501]

Area damage is good but make sure you've got high crit chance and crit damage first.

[@emmabergman7319]

Really good video.....thx

[@megagig5501]

Thanks!

[@marknesbitt6073]

can you add a link to your gear so I can compare? Great video and good to see others talking about barbs even though blizzard isn't :)

[@megagig5501]

There's a link to my profile on my main page in the upper right, I also added a link in the description. I'm pretty sure Barb is the most popular class but blizz hates them for some reason. Thanks for watching!

[@mmnicholls]

Do you have a cooldown number you are shooting for or just as much as you can?

[@megagig5501]

Sorry I missed your comment. KZbin hasn't been letting me know about a lot of comments >_< Personally I like to stay 45% or above. Drop below that and WOTB starts to drop off. However if you're using ancient spear or another fury spender instead of TS, you can go as low as 40%

[@igorok3000]

what about mercenary? gear and talents? saw you playing with sorceress but i'm playing with templar

[@megagig5501]

Yup I play with sorceress because she gives two different damage buffs. Templar is great for healing but I don't really need that so I opted for more damage.

[@tomgreenfield8981]

i have just started my whirlwind barb. where can i find skull grasp ring and your amulet?

[@megagig5501]

The skull grasp is a drop, just farm it from wherever. The amulet you craft. Check this video for tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p37XZGCdmNmJmq8

[@damegaKing]

good vid thank you. i like it. i like the new intro better.

[@megagig5501]

Thanks!

[@damegaKing]

I am stuck at GT 67 i think i have to get more paragon lvl. and more ancients ^^

[@megagig5501]

Probably. What para level are you? How many ancients do you have?

[@damegaKing]

474 para lvl and 2 ancients. This is my char eu.battle.net/d3/de/profile/King-2765/hero/97043226

[@megagig5501]

Ya the main thing is looks like you need more para levels and more ancients. 67 is pretty good for where you're at. You'll be in the 70's soon. Also you can start leveling up extra legendary gems to augment your gear. Instead of nerves of steel, I'd switch to berserker rage.

[@tojo4]

whatever happened to Rend? On paper it seems like an awesome skill, and its fun to play. I wish they would buff it somehow.

[@megagig5501]

The main problem with rend is that it takes you out of ww for such a long time. The build/set needs to be reworked some to actually make use of it. Hopefully we'll see that in season 12. Rend should be added as a passive to WW somehow because the skill itself doesn't do much and doesn't fit the build. At high GR's, you die instantly when you leave ww.

[@alexpetersen2055]

What Grift lvl is the max that you did with this build. I think i wana try my luck cause at this time a Grift 68 is my max

[@alexpetersen2055]

Okay and thx for answer. I changed my build and tommorow after work i will try to go higher then my 68

[@megagig5501]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes. Keep in mind my para level and augments when comparing.

[@mileyVSHannahMontana]

Hello, with my barbarian i past a gr 88 and can't do gr 89. My best time on gr 89 is 15 min 5 secondes and few dust

[@mileyVSHannahMontana]

thank u

[@applebomb93]

Do you allocate vitality for your paragons?

[@megagig5501]

I don't on this toon/build, but I do if I need some extra hp that I can't seem to get on gear. If you're too squishy, add some vit in para points, if you're doing good, go full damage.

[@bekz143]

Can i cube the obsidian too or would it make a big difference?

[@megagig5501]

Ya you can. I'd prefer to cube zodiac over the others because of the stats that roll on it. I'm still looking for better rings.

[@bekz143]

Megagig ok good to know, thanks for the quick answer

[@megagig5501]

No prob. I answer as soon as I see questions and if I'm on, it's usually instant lol

[@igorok3000]

many guys in the top of ladder are using stamp with grasping rune and bracers for up damage from knocking. And for me was easy to use stamp even on 75 gr. You just dont let enemies round and kick you

[@mikestuckless2841]

ok super new to D3 why is his fury not moving down =)

[@megagig5501]

The bulkathos weps generate fury :)

[@TruthSetsUfree100]

This video saved my Barbarian!, I was stuck at GR 64 for about a week with no progress, I changed up the actions skills and on the first attempt blew through GR 64 with 7 mins remaining!

[@megagig5501]

Ryan Shirtz grats!

[@WaterJay]

always love to play barbar, but seriously it needs a buff, it's freaking 20 tiers lower than the top class

[@stevehash158]

Great vid man great stuff tanx for the info.. But how on earth are you getting away with 35% in crit chance?? lol WHO KNEW haha =) And i am way to glass canon i see lol i have like 725k in life you have 1.200k wow okei some more toughness i can see that casue i die alot.. Then you play without Nerves of steel again how the hell can you get away with that ??? lol And last: i use strongarm is that shit ?? do i need defenders or nemesis?

[@megagig5501]

It's 35% crit chance out of battle but with battle rage that adds 3% then berserker rage adds 10% so 35+3+10= 48% total crit chance in battle. Ya you need to get over 1 mil hp to push higher gr's. When it comes to bracers I'd use nemesis. They generally offer good stats and help with finding more elites when you get shrines. Strong arm don't do anything with my current setup and neither does defenders because you aren't stunning.

[@stevehash158]

Megagig yea but strong arm are: knock back suffers 20-30% more dmg isnt that good? I've seen many high GR using this whats your taught m??? I just tried your tip now and fuck me it worked YESS haha.. with 5 none Ancient and 5 none arguments and i went from struggling with 78 to 82 almost 83 but i was struggling with dmg on 83 i dont get why lol.. Still amazing info tanx.. 83 will i achive in a good rift .. 1min outta top 1000 in EU lol not bad. . Finally ppl that will teach som skills tanx again everything is so daym secret with ppl lol . .. instant sub

[@megagig5501]

Yes more damage is good but with my current setup I don't have any knockbacks so the bracers don't get used. You can check out my profile/build here. us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Source-1708/hero/81019948 Don't pay too close attention to the stats though because they never show up exactly as in game.

[@stevehash158]

Megagig tanx.. yea i have the same now but 1500 less in str.. does this mean i also have 0 knock back?? I swere i had something that created knock back lol what about the waste set itself? Yea yea i need nemesis then looks that way.. but i have 2.100.000 roughly in base dmg so i dont get why you can do 88 whilst i struggle dmg wise with 83 ?? lol ;)) nevertheless still higher then i was

[@megagig5501]

Ignore pain has a knockback rune but I prefer the healing. I had to do a fair bit of fishing to do that 88 :P Everything had to line up good.

[@gleasser]

Btw: overpower still had better option then flat crit, 35%reflect si far better if used overpower....

[@megagig5501]

Reflect only reflect melee damage though. It's not useless but I don't think it's as good as killing spree. Just my opinion. Thanks for watching :)

[@davidlee3107]

Why dont you talk about ancient spear with rage flip? Every top barb on the leaderboard is using it.

[@megagig5501]

You're right it's an option. I've mentioned it many times in past videos but I guess I forgot in this video lol. The main reason I personally don't use it is because it doesn't work on all mobs. It works good on trash but only on some elites. Also doesn't work on some big trash mobs. If you've got the toughness though it does help you create density.

[@CaptainOachkatzl]

17:28

[@megagig5501]

Good call. I thought I mentioned it but I couldn't find it before lol. Didn't have much time to search :P

[@FireMarshall75]

Estevan set... thats New...:):):)

[@megagig5501]

I've done a couple videos on it a while back :P

[@FireMarshall75]

On Estevan set? REALLY? :D :D :D Is that a new HISPANIC SET ??? :) :) Or you mean ISTVAN SET? :) FFS....How hard can it be TO READ right :D :D :D

[@gblan]

You talk about the disadvantages of Overpower but the link to your build shows you're using it. Huh?

[@megagig5501]

Ya I don't know why it's on there. I'm not using it in game. The profile site is iffy sometimes on skills and stats. Edit: It's showing a variation of my speed build I was trying the other day but that was a few days ago. Guess it hasn't updated yet. I was trying it instead of sprint for the extra crit as a buff to see if I could do more damage and move a bit slower. Either way, I stand by what I said in the video. Keep in mind the video goes over GR pushing, not speed builds. When you move to speed builds, a lot more options open up. Thanks for watching :)

[@rav0657]

i use ground stomp and i reach gr 95 and i'm close to 100 so don't tell ground stomp is suck

[@megagig5501]

This was before the changes to WW build and damage reduction. Doesn't apply now....

[@rav0657]

@@megagig5501 i know - gr 95 was befor patch

[@megagig5501]

Which patch though? There's been quite a few since this video. This was over a year and a half ago. Not saying it couldn't be done but you had to be extremely careful not to die.

[@dillondavis2159]

I'm currently in the season 11 with a WW barb us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/DavisD-1738/hero/75983771 here he is.. I'm trying hard to push Leader boards but I seem to have Survival issues. The highest I've cleared is a 76.. but when i hit the 77s i just seem to get 1 shot by random stuff any help would be awesome

Rage flip > War cry
