[Diablo 3] Kripp's HC Rend Barb Build

[@Mriixxilexii]

I live in NJ and have been affected by hurricane sandy and it's been a depressing week but Kripp and many other KZbin channels have been able to put a smile on my face and for that I thank you

[@Kripparrian]

DPS does not directly translate into rend damage. Rend uses weapon damage and disregards haste. Most people with damage that high are getting a large bonus from their haste items.

[@Panttz12]

Thanks for the updates Kripp! Been getting back into my Barbar too and its pretty fun. Will give this spec a go tonight :)

[@Zapzdoughnut]

Since i dont play hardcore i picked up a Immortal Kings 2h wep with seismic slam crit chance on it. Been using rend/seismic slam build. Does great. Thanks for showing us a solid 2h hardcore build.

[@WuxianTec]

I can completely agree on that. Those videos kind of make me want to play D3 again

[@Aeux]

ahhh thanks, I was looking for a video like this since i've been playing with the idea of starting a HC barb

[@therocklau]

Bloodlust on Rend is indeed use weapon damage not DPS, however, that's not the reason people ditch this rune, simply because additional rend radius is much much more powerful, the life gain affect lost can be fixed with a Skorn with life leach %.

[@sadeyx]

Good to see you back in the d3 mood. But I agree with Thelmpaler87 I'd like to see what you could do with another class.

[@TheImpaler87]

Kripp, you should make a video discussing several builds for other classes as well. I don't play D3 regularly so I'm always confused what's good or not after a new patch. Barbs are cool but I enjoy some variety, if you could give tips on Witch Doctors, Wizards and Demon Hunters it'll be great.

[@GreyGooTheory]

Great info Kripp, thanks. I play barb as well and I'll have to try this build out and see how it goes for me.

[@Nitedragon001]

When your playing with Krippi you should try having him use the AOE stun + Hammer of the ancients with the Stun rune. Ive been using it (also play HC) and the mobs normally stay stunned at all times. Between the 5 second AOE stun, and the 3 second stun from killing a mob there is usually about 1 or 2 seconds where the mobs are active. Its nice when you come across the harder Elite Packs when they can get semi-perma-stunned.

[@StaffRecordPlayer]

Because of you Kripp I might start a hc barb .. sounds like good fun, even tho Im not as good as you guys when it comes to risk mngmt. But Im kinda sick of the spoiled AH/RMAH in SC. good wurk

[@mullewt]

In my opinion you should use inspiring presence instead of tough as nails or nerves of steel(whichever grants you less armor). 2% of your max hp / sec really helps out in case of a disconnect. I run 82k hp on my barb and my DH friend runs about the same with Grooding(2% hp/sec) so in total we roll with about 2k lps and 4k lps. Really good talent if you play on lower MPs where stuff dont do as much dmg.

[@fobwithacause]

Those are some godlike pants. Are you going to try to do some ubers in hardcore with krippi?

[@JuanMasterofVagina]

Bloodlust is an amazing rune and I have no idea why almost no one takes it. Why? Because it allows you to bypass LS/LoH on your weapon completely, and you can now buy much, much better weapons. Say you have 100k DPS, that's 700,000 per rend on each mob, 20% of 9% is 12.6k life stolen per rend duration, PER mob. You are definitely staying alive and don't really need anything else.

[@99dalgon99]

Kripp seems a lot happier when he is talking about D3 =)

[@andrew34765]

I don't use furious charge anymore because of the ground grabbing glitch. Even the nerfed leap is preferable to me.

[@ruin3r]

because nobody uses shields anymore, you can clear inferno with a 100% glass cannon build on all classes and a shield is a detriment to your damage. on higher monster power settings it just lowers your dps and makes things take longer.

[@yohank2004]

i read the title and watched I was just droppin some general knowledge. Kripps build is fine and he does well with it

[@andrew34765]

And Inspiring presence at 2%/second is GREAT now.

[@complexpower]

Great video Kripparrian Octavian.

[@Moellerud]

good vid, i just missed a little action of the build in the end.

[@MrGrease99]

I'm new to hardcore. When you die do you lose all items as well or just the character?

[@ZethEthereal]

Hey Kripp, are there any other games that you're looking forward to playing?

[@rederlt]

krip whats ur gaming equipement.. nostramus/naga? i need to decide what to buy first.. maybe u could give a tip for me?

[@CrashBashL]

all my set items and legendary items are from MP0..and got 2 legendary items yesterday in Korsikk Bridge in the same run.

[@BigDingus123]

Are you new? Kripp is from Toronto, which is in Canada.

[@GhrimReeper]

"Templar is good at creating a barrier of safety." You should tell Krippi's WD that.

[@th3DarkJack]

used this build in 104. good build for farming in SC too. better than WW in some cases

[@Vhamtnof]

9:13... what did you say? A call to second to call, or some Canadian lingo? Driving me nuts not knowing.

[@parsifall333]

Ignore Pain with the 20%ll rune + rend makes you almost immortal for 5 seconds... with 2 weapons and pretty low dmg and crit dmg I'm still getting up to 40k heals coming only from rend

[@grrr306]

Wouldn't tough as nails give you more armor then nerves of steel?

[@timskafte]

does rend dots stack with another rend from the same barb?

[@idrom1]

He said early on that he would be buying gems. Its on one of the first "new" d3 vids.

[@Sammysapphira]

Skorn is an exception because if its raw crit damage.

[@yohank2004]

yup unless you want to whirlwind with skorn then you need 30+ atk speed for fury generation

[@katieeeeyy]

Shields are mostly used in hardcore only.

[@ZerkOP]

Kripp can you post some videos about GW2 please?

[@bobothefrofro]

Bloodthirst on Rend is AMAZING.

[@BlueBlazer89]

why did you edit the video at 12:55 ?

[@xxgg]

Do HardCore mode drop better loots ?

[@trustfire]

So you magically had skorn drop for you? wow

[@NiewulisEminem]

you mean Pamela Handerson?

[@milkman1163]

hilarious and deserved rant at 9:04

[@xzxzxzzxxzzxz]

He was born in romania, but he lives in Toronto.

[@DaveW9559]

"kripp's build" suuure like no one else has used that build, this guy!

[@christam24]

kripp don't worry about the haters telling you, you don't have a life.. you have many friends- us night-creepers..keep up the videos

[@Varoxlol]

Using this build with Shield 1 Hander for a couple months ;)

[@Polmorph]

It's easier to write that then "The HC Rend Barb Build that Kripparian uses."

[@Immigrant312]

I'm thinking of getting an asus for my next comp...

[@instag8or]

I use the enchantress with maximus because the demon blocks for u and agros monsters away from you.

[@dusty_reaper96]

hey kripp make a video of u doing monster power on ur ww barb

[@DutchDeathGod]

He uses a 2 hander cause rend does 700% weapon dmg, ats speed doesn't add to his main dmg. His main dmg is spamming rend. Otherwise yeah..

[@323Darkknight]

Im actually really glad to hear that asus are amazing if you ever want to talk about this more private message me.

[@Atherion123]

I did not choose the selffound life the selffound life choose me. 8/12 items i use i found myself, found a 1350 dps str skorn last night and a 185 IK belt

[@Closetmonkeh]

no gameplay? :

[@Jeff321]

Krip you should play WD, they're pretty good in HC

[@MisterEktos]

Codex Alera?

[@Nygge1982]

hi kripp, if u dont read this is ur own loss. try cleave man, i crit for 200k dmg on hardcore with my barb cleave also have a good life on hit ratio as u said rend and run, u dont have to do that with cleave and who am i, im just a guy that finished hardcore on my barb and witch doctor going for a ull clear on all 5 classes.

[@artificialfreedom]

But it DOES benefit from the crit stuff doesnt it?

[@Cabutooo]

LOL at that interactive transcript!

[@MattGL21]

VIDEOS OF YOU PLAYING PLZ

[@consumoholic]

living somewhere or having roots from somewhere is quite a difference buddy. i think there are alot of people living in the us while at the same time being asian.

[@rupcapatana]

Kripp :) pls make a video about perfect BM hunter opener

[@Sandro1989]

Kripp has specificly said that he likes playing the same class over and over, so he can perfect every aspect of it rather than trying out other classes. So don't count on it :'(

[@Wuselol]

the templar killed me twice by kicking fire chain mobs right into me while i was on low hp.

[@ExpertlvlGaming]

lol..."those shielded little FUCKERS!"

[@Skavengeful]

Let me show you my IRL fistfight build, Kripp

[@DutchDeathGod]

Yeah true, forgot that for a sec.

[@popcorn32145]

no game play?

[@kuXShortguy]

So you had a barb and worked on that one, and while doing your first HC run you played barb, and now you do it again, isn't it a little boring? :P

[@AdamPhool]

Bloodlust is the shit. If you do over 100k dps, Im at around 150k dps with my skorn, Bloodlust is all you need

[@yohank2004]

2 handers need 27% attack speed to be efficient

[@Ewokese1]

I had a skorn drop first thing after one of recent patches lol, it actually dropped with 2-3 other legendaries all in 1 fucking run.

[@croakerchoker504]

My hammer of the ancients crits up to 600k and I hammer the shit out of elites on mp7, hardcore thou.. Haven't tried since diablo 2.

[@jjredick2550]

Just reached hardcore inferno with my Doctor

[@NoEphingIdea]

it's a rend spec.... did you bother to read the title, or watch the video?

[@hughesa827]

He's allowed himself to buy gems from the AH

[@D3Sixpounder]

i use the same but with stomp and battle rage

[@Rodrigc92]

Krip FTW 1st page

[@DiabloManiacz]

MOLTEN. Maybe you should study the monster abilities a bit more Kripp. Mentioning dangerous affix without molten is a joke. It has a "hidden" damage multiplier. You will see what i mean when you meet molten occultists next time.

[@rocknrain4life]

"Occultists I think they are called"

[@marfg12345]

I have like 6% life steal and I never die, my dps is 120k buffed

[@lordicemaniac]

try scoundrel with buriza

[@Frootypolo]

hummm, What's up with the dislikes? this was a pretty video full of useful information imo. keep 'em coming Kripp.

[@GodOfMacro]

Same here that was frustrating xD

[@yosoy1loco]

when youre getting a high critchance (5%crit and 50% critdam) is better than wm, especially if you diont use procOnCrit skills.

[@ky1e99]

should've showed some game play

[@Karacis]

i love it! more D3 vids :D

[@lovestospugification]

d3 is so sick

[@moffo47]

You do realise he has never died on this character?

[@Ironmonkey2050]

it wud b nice if you cud get like a 2nd life for a hc char.bcos dc has killed me once too...

[@epicfacesmiley]

Is it just me or does he look like that v for vendetta guy's masks except thats his face?

[@SC2Binx]

he doesnt play gw2 anymore

[@MattGL21]

so you dont use the same thing

[@Datasint]

Still, it's good, I have 40k dps on my barb with no haste at all, and I don't have good gear.

[@ezeess7239]

wait people still play this game?

[@yohank2004]

yeh and the bleed on skorn

[@lill87]

More Path of Exile kripp!

[@Immigrant312]

diablo 3 was killing my macbook..so i switched back to wow :/
